Early in 1899 he came with his family to India. He rejoiced in the hope of the soon coming of Christ; and though his death was sudden, he realized the power of the Lord’s salvation in his last hours. He leaves his wife and two little ones, who, in their sadness, are made glad by the blessed hope. W. A. SPICER. ROBINSON.—Died at Karmatar, Bengal, India, Dec. 29, 1899, of malignant smallpox, Elder D. A. Robinson, aged 52 years, lacking five days. He accepted the truth in Maine, in 1867, under the labors of Elders Goodrich, Howard, and Canright; went to Battle Creek in 1872, attending the school till 1874, when he began preaching in New England. Ordained in 1876, he labored in that Conference till 1887, when he went to South Africa. From 1888 to 1895 he labored in Great Britain, then coming to India. Brother Robinson was well aware of the serious nature of his illness, and made all possible arrangements about his affairs. While trusting his case with the Lord for life and service, he was at peace with God, and ready to rest if his work were done. Sister Robinson is thus left alone for the “little while,” with their two adopted girls. W. A. SPICER.
