The Aged Pilgrim Sleeps.
By James White
WHEN we read in a recent letter from Bro. M. E. Cornell, of the last days, sudden death, and funeral, of our aged Bro. Weaver, of Fairview Iowa, we had feelings of mingled sorrow and joy. Death brings sadness, and we feel to sympathize with the bereaved; but there is joy in the thought that our aged brother rests in hope. It is less than two months since we called at the tavern house of this now bereaved family where we were made welcome to the good things the house afforded. They had just begun to listen to the truth. We tarried with them several days, and when we left, felt that we were parting with true friends. As we read the obituary notice from the pen of Bro. Cornell, we could but exclaim, Thank God! that the truth has been preached in Fairview, Iowa. We are happy to learn that the son, D. Weaver, has embraced the truth. God bless that entire family, and may they all meet him who sleeps, on Mt. Zion. J. W.
