E. J. WEAVER

By E. J. Weaver

From Bro. Weaver.

BRO. SMITH:—Through the mercies of God I am still alive, although in a world of suffering and death. I have seen the need of a trust and firm reliance in my Saviour for a short time past, while disease and death has entered my peaceful family circle and snatched from my embrace a little daughter aged two years, and three months. Still unsatisfied, in a few short months death claims my companion, and now they sweetly sleep in the dust of the earth, ready to be awakened by the last trump.
Since the death of my wife, I have gazed upon the cold and lifeless form of a sister; and others within a short time have gone the way of all the earth, that have been near to me. But Christ has promised to redeem us from the power of the grave and destroy him that hath the power of death that is the devil! then let us take courage, prove faithful a few days longer, and God will give us rest. Brethren and sisters, aid me by your prayers.
