OBITUARY. Died on the 16th of March, 1888, of pulmonary consumption, B. F. Baker, in the 23d of his age. He was born in Chattooga county, Ga., on the 19th of October, 1865. He obeyed the gospel, as preached by the apostles of Christ, on the Ist of July, 1887. His disease was prey ing upon his mortal body at the time of his obedience. He never murmured or complained of having to bear his affliction. He died with a strong hope of a blissful immor tality. He said to me just about a month before he died, “Pa, 1 want to talk with you some this evening, I don't think I will live but a short time. What do you think about it?” I said “Bennie, my son, I will not flatter you any longer. I do not be lieve myself you will ever get well.” He said, “That is what I have thought about it for the last month. There is another thing I want to talk about, I have not had an op portunity to take the Lord's Sup per since I was baptized. I want you to see some of the brethren, get them to hold a meeting here, that I may partake with them the sup per of my Redeemer before I die.” I said to him, “Ben, do you feel like you would be better off if you should die?” He said “Pa I do not judge my acceptance with God by my feelings, it's true I feel happy when I think how strong my evi dence is. My evidence is the promise of God to the obedient believer—l j hope for salvation through the Gos-1 pel.” I looked at my dear boy’s I face, there seemed to be a halo of | innocence encircling his counte nance made innocent through the blood of Christ. The brethren obey- I ed his request, they met at my bouse on the next Lord's day and he par took with them the supper of the Lord. After supper Elder Freeze proposed to sing a hymn and ex tend to him the right hand of fel lowship. While the brethren were coming he rose and sat upon the I couch on which he was lying. When ; j I watched him raising his feeble j i hand to meet that of his brethren, I j thought of the expression he made to me when he first talked to me about dying, that he believed his evidence of pardon would prove I stronger than death, which proved true in the last and trying moment. Although he could just whisper he exhorted those round his bed to live right and meet him in heaven. , He then looked at his brother New ton and said: “I’ll soon be free,” ) and then his tongue was still. In a few moments his spirit went to God who gave it. While I still look ed on him taking the hand of his brethren, I saw that same look of innocence which seemed to over-run his whole countenance, as it did when he said to me, “I Judge not the Lord by feeble sense But trust him for his pardoning grace, I in his word put confidence, And faith in all his promises.” Thus trusting God for saving grace Our Bennie died with a bright hope, That lie will have in heaven a place, When from the grave he shall lise up. He then will rise to meet the Lord, Who will for him prepare that place, And there with allwhotrust God's word lie'll ever sing redeeming grace. My friends and neighbors one and all, The gospel is so plain and free; Obey it then in every call, And meet in heaven with B. F. B. —O. I. Baker, in Ark. Expositor. Religious. Rev. T. 11.
