OBITUARY.

By A. C. Bourdeau

Fell asleep, in Jesus, Dec. 28th, 1857 in Fletcher, Franklin Co. Vt., R. Woods, aged 74 years. This aged Bro. embraced the Sabbath about four months ago. He had been a backslider for years; but God in his great goodness brought him to love and obey the present truth in his old age.
As I was absent from home when he died, I did not attend his funeral. The neighbors took the opportunity of my absence to invite a Methodist preacher to preach the funeral sermon; but to their disappointment he did not comply with their request.
On the next Sabbath I preached to the Brn. at Fletcher. We have comforting evidence that this bereft family mourn not as those who have no hope.
