Elder P. I). Gold :— |
Dear hrnther.—Through the request of ;
brother .Jolin Wichard I will send vou a .0:-w ;
lines to the memory of hrother Hardy Wieh- '
•ard w'ho departed this life June (Hh, 1872, at j
his 'csidenee in Pitt ('onroty, N. C..—near
Greenville. Flrolher AVichard was horn IMay
1783, and was received a member of the
church ,at Great Swamii Ifeornarv, 18‘21, and
was chosen deacon April. 1826, and filled
(hat important offee np to the time of his
death, and his vacancy has licen filled hv a
very worthy h-otlier—his i-on, John Wicliard.
Brother Hardy IVichard adorned his pro
fession by a well-ordcrcd life and Godly con
versation- Ho delighled in the doctrine of
tlio Primitive Bartists, which is .salvation
by grace through the merits of Christ. Y-.is,
he believed what Paul said, when he .“aid :
“Not by w'orks of rightcnnsne.s8 whieli we have
done, l)ut aecoriling to his mercy he hath
saved ns, by tlie wasliing of regeneration and
the renewing of the Holy Ghost.” He de
lighted in reailing the Bible, and was well
versed in its teachings, in faith and practice,
doctrine and ordinances. He was willing to
be, governed by the law and testimonv of the
Bible, lie adorned his profe.ssion bv a well-
ordered life and a Godly conversation. His
name wa.s first on our church li.st at the time
of his death, lie has fought a good fglit anil
kept the faith once deliverevl to the saints.
Let us not mourn for him, he is hut gone be
fore U8 where the wickel cea.se fiom troubling
■and the weary are at rest. Bie.sseil art-^ iimv
tha/rdohis commandments, that, t'^w;" may j’
have right to the Tree of Life and rn;?^ enter
ki throngh the gates into the City. i

—About 8 o'clock on the 14th of
i-Vbrnarv, 1874—our beloved brother, Thom-
av Oakes, in the seventy-ninth year of hi.s .age.
The siiliject of this memoir was a faithful
Aiemberand deaconot Upper Ibnnster Chinch.
HiMv.as confined to his hou.sa nearly twelve
months with dropsy, in which time he wa.s
visited and attended to hv iminy of his friend.s
.and brethrcB who will bear testimony that he
Mire hi.s afiliction with nm-ommon fortitude to
the l:i.-if.,:md w.a.s perfectly sensible in one min-
iue of his death—o.ften desirii-.g to fmisli his
troublea here, that ho might be at rest. He
tiss left ihree danghtew and one son to mourn
•.heir loss. The writer of this attended j.is
MUitral and burial, mvi tried to preach from
.icb 7: 1, 2, J—“Is there not an appoinl-
f.wi time to man upon earth ?” &c. The con-
(jrcgK-.tion wasferiim* and attentive, and if ive
uiav judge from hi.s exemplary life—may vre
'.Alt sav, truly our lo.ss is hi.s eternal gain? —
His favorite hymn was:
“What poor despised oompany
Of travelers are these—
That walk in yondor narrow way.
