Died in Lincklaen, Chenango Co., N. Y., on the 24th of April last, Bro. Samuel Swan, in the 67th year of his age. His disease was sciatica at its commencement, but assumed a different type before he died. His sufferings for several days were most intense. But he was enabled to say with David, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted." He rejoiced that he had suffered all he had. He felt he needed it to subdue and bring him to that state of sweet and cordial submission to the divine will he then felt to be indispensable.24He had some severe mental conflicts—his enemies beset him with fierce energy; but he was enabled to get a victory over them through Christ, and to say in conclusion, "My peace is like a river." And when we laid him in the cold grave, and the clods of the valley covered him, it was with the consoling hope that he sleeps in Jesus, and will awake in his likeness, when the dead in Christ shall hear the voice of the Son of man and shall come forth.
