Note from Bro. Byington.
By John Byington
I LITTLE thought when leaving home, the 25th inst., to fill my appointment the following Sabbath in Parkville, that it would be the day of the funeral of Sr. Langdon. But so it was. She had earnestly requested that some one of our faith attend her funeral. The friends had removed my appointment from Parkville, to Mendon, trusting Providence to my being there. I felt quite fatigued in riding thirty-five miles the day previous, but felt that the Lord gave strength equal to my day; and I rejoiced that it could be said of the one who had fallen asleep, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” On first-day, we had a meeting at Parkville meeting-house. Quite a number were present, though the day was rainy. Ceresco, Mich., March, 1870.
