Fallen at His Post

By Editor

Fallen at His Post.—"God buries His workmen, but carries on His work." Another soldier has fallen at his post, not in the Philippines nor in South Africa, tho he might have been in either place, but in Japan, a country with which this government is not at war. But there are men there at war with God; and as an ambassador of the Prince of Peace, Prof. W. C. Grainger went there two years ago, to offer peace to every soul he could, and teach all he could reach the blessed law of the kingdom of Christ. After an illness of three weeks, he fell at his post, in Tokyo, Japan, Oct. 31, 1899. Full particulars have not yet come to hand. This we know, that the Japanese have lost a noble friend, his wife a true and faithful husband, his children a loving and wise father, and his fellow-workers a loyal friend, a genial, equable, helpful brother. Our sympathies are herewith extended to his bereaved family. We mourn with them. But our brother is at rest, waiting the coming of the Life-giver.
