His  pen  was  active  for  many  years  and  numbers  of  his
poems  were  widely  circulated.  He  wrote  some  beautiful
couplets  the  last  few  days  before  he  fell  asleep  as  follows:

"The  lifting  of  the  resurrection  curtain  bright  will  be,
Like  sunshine  o'er  the  glistening  sea."

"O  Jesus,  let  Thy  blessed  face
Shine  on  me  from  the  world  of  grace."

"Jesus,  turn  Thy  face  to  me,
And  say,  'From  sickness  be  thou  free,'
Let  others  say  whate'er  they  will,
Thou  art  the  mighty  Saviour  still."

"Jesus,  my  Jesus,  fill  me  with  repose.
Such  as  no  man  of  earth  without  Thee  knows."


OTHER  VETERANS   PASSING

Dr.  Darius  Mathewson  (brother  of  S.  G.  Mathewson
before  mentioned),  found  rest  at  Worcester,  Mass.,  in  1907.
He  was  a  native  of  Connecticut,  was  converted  in  early  life;
practiced  medicine  for  nine  years;  came  into  the  Adventist
faith  through  the  teaching  of  Wm.  Miller,  and  gave  his  life
mostly  to  the  preaching  of  that  faith,  laboring  both  East
and  West.
Eld.  Geo.  L.  Teeple,  another  native  of  Connecticut,  fell
asleep  the  same  year — a  dear  man  of  godly  life,  faithful,
fruitful  labors  and  steadfast  faith.  He  had  a  notable  ex-
perience and  an  emphatic  testimony,  for  he  knew  well
whereof  he  spoke.
