©biiuarg. Rev. F M. Wilson of the Florida Con ference, was born Dec. 22d, 1833, joined the Church Sept. 23d, 1849 ;—born again July 6th, 1850; licensed to preach Sept. 16th, 1854; admitted into the Florida Con ference Jan. 3d, 1855, was appointed to the Orange Mission ; in 1856 traveled the Ap pling Circuit; 1857 Centervillage Circuit, and Satiilo Colored Mission; 1858 Colum bus Circuit; 1859 Taylor Mission; 1860 and Til Ocmulgee Mission; 1862 and ’63 Rlakely Circuit; 1864 Newton Circuit; 1865 Morgan Circuit; 1866 was appointed to the Coiquit Circuit, was taken sick the 29th of Jan., and died 9th of June. Thus has passed away another of our min isters to his final reward. He was a good man, faithful in the discharge of all his duties, punctual to attend his appointments, often going when it would have been better for him to remain at home. His whole heart seemed to be engaged in the itiner eucy. Like many of the rest of us he saw very hard times during the two or three last years of his travels, having to work with his hands *for the support of himself and family, which he did cheerfully, as he did receive but little tor his support from the Church. I visited him several times du ring his protracted sickness. lie bore it with great patience, never murmuring; all the time he seemed resigned to the will of his Heavenly Father. I conversed with him in regard to his future prospects. It was all calm and peace, no fear or dread to torment his miud in his afflictions. He only regretted to leave his wife and children. His disease was of such a nature as to ren» der him irrational some time previous to his death; but we sorrow not as them that have no hope. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn their loss. Let the widow and or phans have the prayer and charities of the Church, for these are distressing times. S. R. Weaver. Mrs. Martha A. E. Carter, my step daughter, died at Green Hill, Stewart coun ty, Ga., 12th August, 1866, in the 30th year of her age. To her, early religious instruction was as seed in a good soil. Imperfectly as her ten der mind comprehended the religious truths taught her, they nevertheless had a control ing influence, for she feared God and prac ticed some of the forms of piety from child hood. As her mind matured and light in creased, she saw that there was a power as well as a form in godliness, that “the Spirit giveth life.” To realize this experiment ally, and obtain the witness of her accept ance with God cost her a protracted strug gle. Ido not remember whether she joined the Church before her conversion, or after wards. She was modest to diffidence. While r this trait of character may have led her to have less to say upon the subject of her per sonal experience, ytft she was not the less decided and consistent as an humble devoted ehild of God — faithfully discharging' her duties; looking closely to the testimony of, a good conscience. She was an affectionate child, an unselfish, tender sister. Happily married, life with its surroundings promised much of earthly enjoyment. Alas! how i deceptive an appearauce! Three years ago hes husband was stricken down by lightning. And now, after an iilness of only four days, she is taken away. . Two days after her death, Isola Maria, her eldest, a daughter of uine summers, fol lowed her to the spirit world. How mys terious are the providences of God. Os this once happy family only little Millie and George remain. Orphans indeed! Other minds must think and feel for them, other ,hands minister to their wants. In reference to those that are gone, “ we sorrow not as those that have no hope.” J. T. Turner. Mrs. Mary Joseph Anderson, was born 7th April, 1845, and died 7th July, 1866. How precious is the testimony of the dy ing Christian. And how sweet are the smiles which linger about the pale face of the child of God. The subject of this short sketch joined the Methodist E. Church, South, in 1858. She did not, however, en joy a comfortable evidence of her acceptance with God till 1862. Then she “ knew of the doctrine, whether it was of God. 5 ' From that time until her death, she adorned her profession. 0!• that all the young per sons who knew her, would follow her ex ample. On the 13th of July last, she stood at the hymeneal altar adorned in “ spotless white.” Almost one year from that time, llhat form we loved so much sank into the grave, robed in her bridal garments. Some time before her death, her mother said, « Mary, have you prayed during your sick ness “Yes,” was her prompt reply. “And do you love God, and know that your father has gone before you to Heaven ?” « Yes/’ said she, “ and I sometimes Jeel heavenly ” “Then you feel resigned to God’s will, and can trust all in His hands?” u l do, I do,’’ she distinctly answered. A little before she breathed her last, her hus band asked, “ Mollia, shall I, and the little babe meet you in Heaven ?’’ “ Yes, yes,” she' responded. Bro W. P. Mouzon, her pastor, at the grave spoke of her happy pas sage from earth to Heaven. May the bless ing of God, always attend the husband and the motherless infant. Her Uncle William. ■ , - ♦- * "" Rev. John F. Berry was born in Twiggs county, Ga., Sept. Bth, 1837, and died in Ellaville, Ga., Sept. sth, 1866. Brother Berry had ju*t returned from a prayer-meeting at the Baptist Church, in which he had participated, and was sitting near a window in his room, (his wife a few feet distant, and the children in the same room,) and engaged in reading the Southern Christian Advocate , “ Ministerial Support No. 3,” when the Heavens thundered he was “ pierced even to the dividing asun der of soul and body/’ by the electric dis charge. The lightning struck the chimney, demolished it to the roof of the house, then separated and followed the tin gutters which joins the roof of the porch and main build ing, leaped to the window post, thence to his devoted head, through his body to the table on which his right arm was rested and to the floor, shattering every non-conductor, and melting small steel articles in its course. Although his clothes were inflamed, yet his wife, who was thrown down and considera bly shocked by the current, immediately ran to him, and with wonderful presence of mind succeeded in arresting the flames, be fore his body was much disfigured; and un aided she drew him from across the window sill where he had fallen. Medical attention was promptly at hand, but in vain. Life was extinct. He was instantantly killed ! Bro. Berry joined the M. E. Church, South, in the Spring of 1853, was licensed to exhort Nov. 10, 1857, to preach June 12th, 1858, and at the following session of the Georgia Conference was sent to the Har ris Circuit for 1859. In 1860 he was on the Cusseta Circuit, and in 1861 stationed at Darien, where he proved a blessing to that pestilence stricken people. Whilst on this work, he was happily married to Miss Susie M. Sherman. In 1862-3, he was on the Butler Circuit, and since then, for three consecutive years, he has been return ed to the Ellaville Circuit in accordance with the earnest wishes of his charge There is but little danger of speaking too strongly of Brother Berry’s virtues. His Christian humility and zeal, his ( universal charity, and his personal interest in the sal vation of his people, have caused many to exclaim, and perhaps all to feel, that we have lost the best man we have ever had among us, the most universally belove . Bro. B. was naturally a timid man, reserved in the company of strangers and in secular assemblies, but on all tccasions, when ap pealed to, he was earnest and impassioned in the advocacy of right, firm and unwaver ing in his convictions of duty, but mild and merciful in the administration of discipline. Asa minister he never sought opportuni ties for display, but ever desired only to preach “ Jesus and Him crucified? It was his delight to preach of the love and mercy of God, the joys of religion and of the Christian’s blissful home in the “ glory world,” as he expressed it. “ I would not live alway : —I ask not to stay,” was a favor ite hymn. For the two months previous to his death, he made a wonderful growth in grace, had many fresh baptisms of the Spir it. He had “peace with Grod, joy in the Holy Ghost and rest in God.’’ I have often heard him say, that he was surprised to hear brethren in love feast express themselves as “ready and willing to die/’ and even anx ious to be gone, that he had never felt that he had reached that point, but that he be lieved that dying grace would be given when it was needed. But in the course of this refreshing season, he felt and could express the same willingness and the same readiness. On the Sunday preceding his death he bad concluded a series of revival meetings, be ginning at Ellaville and ending at Hope well, and was enjoying a few days of rest, before beginning at another church. Oh, what a refreshing season of grace ! It was indeed providential that we were all pre pared, in some degree, for the severe afflic tion, —his wife especially. We all feel that he was the honored instrument by whom great good was accomplished ,in our midst. A protracted meeting was in progress at the Baptist Church, in which he was participa ting when the messenger came. On the 6th inst., an unusually large con course was assembled at the Methodist Church to hear the funeral sermon by his friend and brother, R. F. Williamson. Oh, when we entered those sacred walls, and the familiar objects, so clearly associated with his labors for Christ and ior us, met our view, the Bible and hymn book he had so recent ly used, and the pulpit he had so often fill ed, who could repress the rising tear! We felt, that the Holy Spirit was there and per haps his too, and we inwardly resolved and determined to meet our beloved pastor in Heaven! We have been lightened by the noon-day beams of his sun, we have felt their genial and melting influences, and though it has suddenly and gloriously set to our earthly view forever, yet a long succeed ing twilight shall follow, and its light will still be seen and felt by us whilst memory lasts, and by faith we see it rising in glory, to set no more, but rising , rising, shining through all eternity. He leaves a wife and two little girls to follow him, and he will be welcomed by his little “ Shermv,” in Heaven. Our community is saddened. Messages of condolence and sympathy come in from societies, individuals and churches. The Baptist Church unanimously adopted most touching and appropriate resolutions of sympathy, for his bereaved wife and hardly less bereaved church. He was buried with Masonic honors by his weeping companions and brethren. “May we die the death of the righteous, and may our last end be like his!’’ R. J. R. Sister Mary Ann Sample, wife of John B. Sample, and dauuliter of John and Harriet Foy, died near Greenwood, Abbe ville Dist., S. C., Sept. 1, 1866, aged 29 years wanting 20 days. And on the same day her infant daughter, and both are now sleeping peacefully in the same grave in Salem Church yard, waiting the resurrec tion morn wbeu they shall come forth in incorruption. « Sister S. has left a kind and affectionate husband and three dear children to mourn SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE their loss. But, thank God, they mourn not as those who have no hope. Their loss is her eternal gain. Being born of pious par ents, and by them religiously trained, she early joined the M. E. Church, South, and became experimentally acquainted with the God of her parents. So when the time for her departure was evidently drawing near, she found she had not served Him for naught. The day previous to her death when asked by her pastor to state what her future prospects were, she very" calmly re plied that she was entirely resigned to the will of God, and then gave some directions relative to her funeral and place of burial, and then again the next morning when it was evident she was sinking in death, there seemed to have been given her supernatural strength, so that she was able to sit up in her bed and give to her husband and friends who were present, her pious dying charge, and then in fervent prayer committed them all to the keeping of God. Thus in great triumph passed away from this world of trouble aud sorrow', the always cheerful, kind, affectionate aud devoted wife, mother and friend. “ Let me die the death of the riehteous, and let my last end be like his.” A. L. S. — Tribute of Respect. Resolutions adopted by the Quarterly Conference, Sandy Ridge Circuit, Mont gomery Conference. Whereas, it has pleased God to remove from us by death since our last Quarterly Meeting, a member of the Meeting, to wit: Rev. Robert Thomson, and whereas this brother was a useful citizen, and a devoted friend to the Church, therefore, Resolved , That we deeply deplore the loss which the community and Church have sustained in the death of Robert Thomson. Resolved, That we tender to the bereaved members of the family of our deceased brother, our deep sympathies and offer in their behalf our sincere prayers; and that the Secretary of this Conference be and is r hereby instructed to transmit to them a copy of these resolutions, and also to the South ern Christian Advocate for insertion in its columns.
