Death of William Gifford

By Editor

WE publish this week a notice of the death of one of the oldest Sabbath-keepers, Brother William Gifford, who had reached the very advanced age of one hundred and five years. Brother Gifford was born in 1798, the year which marked the beginning of “the time of the end,” and was therefore thirty-five years of age when the great star-shower of 1833 occurred. Thus the aged men of “this generation” are passing away, and we are reminded that soon the coming of the Master must take place. “A little while! How short! How short!”
