OBITUARY.

Died, after long suffering, at his home in Lawrence county, Miss., August
15th, 1890, Gideon Rawls Langston.

Bro. Langston was born in Lawrence county, Miss, on Nov. 15th, 1825. Married
Miss M. A. Sanders April 22nd, 1845. Was baptized by Bro M. T. Martin into
the fellowship of Silver Creek church in August 1879. He was a brother
beloved, bearing the Christian armor with such grace as to enable him to bid
earth adieu without embarrassment to himself or loving ones. To the
inquiries of brethren, he replied: "You cannot help me: there is nothing in
my way. I have done all I know to do: I have committed all to Christ: I am
content. I may be obliged to suffer much, to that, also I am resigned." A
large assembly at the church yard witnessed his burial, amoung whom were
many children, grandchildren, relatives and friends who lament his
departure, but recognize with submission the truth that God does all for the
best. May he so prepare us to follow our brother, that we may finish our
course with joy, and among the blessed dead in the Lord rest from our labors
forevermore. - Pastor.
