Obituary.

BACON.—Died at Lakeport, Cal., Jan. 14, 1884, our father, John Bacon, in the 55th year of his age, of a complication of diseases. He signed the covenant, to keep all the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, last November, while Bro. Ings was holding Bible-readings here; and although he was anxious to be baptized, he was never able to do so. During the latter part of his illness, he spent the greater part of his time in secret prayer, and until he lost his hearing, took great pleasure in hearing the Bible read. A wife, three sons, and one daughter, mourn their loss. But if faithful, we hope to meet him, where parting shall be no more. “Yet a little while, and He that shall come, will come, and will not tarry.”
