OBITUARY.

By R. J. Lawrence

Fell asleep June 27th, brother Burt Hall, in the twenty-fourth year of his age, of consumption, after an illness of about five months. Bro. Hall professed the present truth about four years ago, and has from that time manifested a deep interest for its advancement. He has been regular at meeting, prompt in duty, earnest and interesting in his exhortations and prayers. He traveled with the Michigan tent as tentmaster last summer, where his godly example won many friends.

Bro. Hall expressed a resignation to the will of God during his sickness, and as the time of his departure drew near, an anxiety to depart this life and be at rest, confident that he should awake in the first resurrection to eternal life.

The church in Shelby miss him in their meetings, and around their firesides. O that we may be also ready for the coming of the Son of man.

R. J. LAWRENCE.
