A Loving Tribute.
Brother Ben Milner passed to
the Home Beyond, in Barnesville,
Ga., January 3rd. IDO4, aged 02
years. His departure was ub
peaceful as the dawn of the Salt
bath on which he died.
He v/as a great lover of the doc
trine of Grace, and served his
God and his generation well. His
long life was full of rich and va
ried experience. He had the great
est respect for sincerity,but utter
disdain for hypocrisy. He had the
courage of his convictions, and
was always ready to maintain;
what he believed to be right in |
any presence.
The writer loved Uncle Ben, bad j
many pleasant conversations with
him. His memory will ever be
dear. May the Lord comfort the
bereaved family, and in the
“Sweet bye and bye,’’ re-unite
all where separation will be never
more.
