BURDICK.—Died of typhoid fever, at Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 23, 1883, Bro. Charles Burdick, aged twenty-eight years and six months. Bro. Burdick received his first impressions of the truth at meetings held by Elds. Ellis and Curtis at North Auburn in the winter of 1877. During the next year he commenced the observance of the Sabbath. Owing to a severe fall which he met with a short time before his sickness, together with the nature of the disease, he was deprived of his reason during the greater part of his sickness. But while in his right mind, he gave his loved ones reason to hope that he was accepted of God. Though he never had been able to sing, a short time before his death he sang in a clear, sweet voice, that familiar hymn,— "There is a gate that stands ajar." He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. A few remarks by the writer from 1 Cor. 14 :26. J. FULTON.
