168 Liake Cos., Miss., Nov. 1, 18G0. Drar Brethren : —By request of Mount Olive church, I send you an obituary notice of the death of brother F. GARDNER, and the resolutions adop ted by Mount Olive church, Scott Cos., Miss. Whereas, it has pleased the Great Author of our being, by a sudden and [melancholy dispensation of his providence to afflict our hearts by the death of one of our members, who was endeared to us by the tenderest ties of love and friendship, we therefore deem it due to his memory to publish the same in the Southern Baptist Messenger. FREDRICK GARDNER was born in Creshaw Dist., S. C., Oct. 28, 1801, and was married there to Martha Flemin, Nor. 29, 1821, and moved to Georgia, in the year 1829, and joined the Primitive Baptist church during the Summer of 1832, and was baptiz ed by Eld. Bossey, at Shiloh church, Monroe Cos., Ga., and in the year 1853, moved to Scott Cos., Miss., and joined Mt. Olive church, and during the time of his life with us, preached Christ the way, and only way that sinners mast be saved ; and seemed to im prove in his gift, and increase in zeal, for the cause. Our brother has left a large family of amiable and respectable children to mourn over the loss of a kind father. May the gracious and unerring hand of the Lord guide and protect them, and also their aged mother, who is also a member with us. There is a painful pleasure in recoiding the death of our belov ed brother—painful to be deprived of his society, and to see his seat vacant in the pulpit—but it is pleasant to follow hi* in our reflections to his house that is not made with* hands which is eternal in the heavens, where the Lamb in the midst of the throne shall feed him, and lead him to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from his eyes. “ Thero saints of all ages in harmony meet Their Savior and brethren transported to greet, While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.” • fktri). t( Forget Not Wliat Tliy Ransom Cost.” Pilgrim to the better country, Traveler in the narrow road, Lighted by the distant glories Os the city ©f our God ; Where the cloud of care comes o’er you, And the glorious light before you, In temptation's night is lost; “ Forget not what thy ransom cost.” When sweet hopes of earth-born pleasnre Seek to ravish all thy soul; When thy path seems dark and thorny, And far off the shining goal; When soft airs and pleasant flowers Tempt to Folly's wild'ring bowers, Till heaven for earth is well nigh lost, “ Forget not what thy ransom cost.” When thy wandering steps returning, Find too steep the backward road, While the sin-taint on thy spirit, liangeth like a weary load; Think—thy Savior bore the burden, Think—for you he purchased pardon; Take, in meekness,—take the cross, e< Forget not what thy ransom cost.” SOUTHERN BAPTIST MESSENGER- Think, for you he bore the hiding Os his Father’s tender face, Think —he left the heavenly mansions To prepare you for a place. By the tears he wept in Jordan, By the anguish of the garden, By his wounds, and by his cross, , < “ Forget not what thy ransom cost.” 1 When thy lot is dark and dreary, Think of Him foot-worn and sore; Comforting the sick and Aveary, Seeking out the erring poor. When from him compassion learning When like him o'er sinners yearning, Can you measure earth’s vain dross, With the price your ransom cost ? We are hid behind the portals Consecrated by his blood ; Here can no destroying angel Pass with his avenging rod, Ohl if tempted e’er to leave Him, Oh 1 if tempted e’er to grieve Him, Let his love, and let his cross, Remind thee what thy ransom cost.
