Hamilton, N. C., Sep. 15th, 187S,
Dear Brother Gold: —
Through the retpiest of the church, and isi
accordance with a desire of my own, I,
through great weaknes.s, attempt to write and
torward you for publication the obituary of
our dear and much esteemed sister in Christ,
AVINIERED LYNCH, who departed this
life, June 28th, 1870, at the residence of her
brother-in-law. Elder Jno. W. Purvis.
I he deceased was about 75 vearsofage,
and was a .sister of the late Elder Blount
Cooper. She obtained a hope in Christ when
young, but, like a great many of the dear
ehidron of God, remained out of the ctischarge
of her duty for some time before she took up
her cross. She was baptized with kcr own
sister in the flesh, sister Purvis, into the fel
lowship of the church at Conoho, Uy Elder
Win. Hyman. And I tiiink I can .stifely say
that I never saw a more orderly cliristian, or
one that bore more the marks of true humil
ity and ineekno.ss than did sister LYNCH.—
She was ever ready to converse upon the
theme of salvation by grace, and ever felt that
she was saved by the obedience and right
eousness of Christ. Her example and Chris
tian walk was one that we should strive to
imitate, and one that .should teach us to be
continually upon the watch-tower, looking fir
tire enemy and adversary of so.uls, who goeth
about to and fro tiu-ough the earth, seeking
wiioin he may devour, and to consider the
profession we have made of the name of
Christ, and to adorn that profession as .she
has done, and to hold fast the profe.ssiou of
our faith without wavering.
Sister LYNCH died in tlie full triumph of
faith, contiimeing steadfast, and often saying
■she did not fear death. She bore her afllic-
tioiis with the true fortitude and resignation
of a Christian, never, during the thirteeen
days of her violent illness, being heard to
miirmer or complain, but scemerl to be per
fectly willing and resigned to the will of the
lau d. Thus has a mother in Israel departed
from our midst, and one whose virtues and
trials it is our duty to. imitate. We miss her i
from among us, but believe she has entered
into that rest tliat remains to the people of
God, and is folded in the anus of that Jesus
who gave his life a ransom for lier, and whom
she so faithfully served while here on earth.
It is with this hope that we would desire to
comfort the mourning family of the deceased,
for we mourn not for her as we do for those
who have no hope—believing that death has
proved rather a blessing than a woe to her;
for it is written, “ Blessed are the dead that
die in the Lord from hencefoith: Yea,
■saith the Spirit, that tliey may rest from
their labors; and their works do follow them.”
Yours, in humble liojie.

iCULAli LETTER.
-Ba/dtV A.ssecmL'on, Ga.,to the
Umrehes of winch she is composed: Grace, Mercy and
1 eacefrom God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ:
Dearly Beloved Brethren and Sisters in the Lord :—In tlie
wise .arrangement of an ever-griicious Providence, we have been again
permuted to meet in onr annual Association, and in ccnclusion of our
tm.sincs.s, and in pursuance of our usual custom, we senu voii. con
nected with our Minutes, our Annual Address, in which we desire to
call your attention to 1st Peter 1 : 22, “Seeing ye have purified vmir
sou s in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the
see that ye love one asother with a pure heart fervently.”—
vve will notice some lew things written by the apostle in the commence
ment of this epistle.
.Me^lid that the apo.stleTlirecU'iiffriis address fo a people he called
stiangers; and these pcojile or strangers he called the elect; elect ac
cording to the toreknowledge of God the I'athcr, through sanctiflca-
Uon ol the Spirit mito obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesii.s
Ctirist. /uid tliise are the .same people or strangers, that the apostle
haul speaks of when he uses this language, “.According as he hath
chosen us m him (that is in Christ,) before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame before him in Itve.”—Eph.
1 . 4. 1 he apostle further tells us, that God, according to his abund
ant mercy, hath hegolten ns again unto a lively hope by the resiirrec-
tion of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorniptiUe and
unaeluen and tliat iadetli not away, reserved in heaven for vou. There-
fore we are taught that the Church of Clirist are all iiicltided in tlie gift
ot the lather to the Son ; ail horn of the Spirit in Zion, and all united
in the endearing ties of spiritual relationshi)). There is a sympathetic
union tliat yhri.-tians hear to each other, which brings them to a still
closer idcntitv of interest, of feeling, and of affection as members of the
•same body J n reailing the scrijitiires we find such words as tlie.se : “Ye
are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” And again. “ As
we have many members in one body, and all memhers have not the
saine othcc: so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one
members one of another.”-Rom. 12 : 4, 5. Agaii , we hear the apostle
i aiil .saying, ‘ But speaking the truth in love may grow up into him in
all things, which is the head, even Christ, from wluim *he whole laidy
fitly Iramed together and compacted by that which every joint snpidieth,
according to tlie effectual working in the measure of every part, mak-
eth .increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love ”—Enh 4-
15, 16. 1 • •
\\ e hear the .Apostle Paul saying, “ Husbands, love voiir wives even
abso as (Jirisl loved the Church and gave himself for it.”—Eiili. 5; 25-
And we hear .lesus ( hrist saying, tliat llod so loved the world that he
gai e his only .Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish
but have everlasting life.—St. John 3:16. Now, we believe that God
loved the world, because liis Church, which is the Bride, the Lamb’s
W ite, was in the world. So, God commendeth his love toward us
that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. ’
Now Brethren, if God .so loved us tliat he sent liis Son tlie .lust, to
suffer and die for us the unjust, yea, for such poor .sinners as we are!
and hath shed abroad that love wherewith he loved us in onr liearts,
by the 1 loll-Ghost’which was given unto us—should we not, as the
dear childien of God, love one another with a pure heart fervently?
1‘or thU is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we
should love one another. Our blessed Savior s.ays, “A new command
ment I give unto you, that ye love one another • as I have loved vou
that ye also love one another.” Again, “For by this shall all Leii
know that ye are my di.scijdes. If ve have love one for another.”—■
St. John 13 r 34, 35.
So, Bretliren and Sister.s, let ns remember the text and take heed
thereto; see that ye love one another with a iiure heart fervently, for
n ^"'^Ilingot the law ; for love worketh no ill to his neighbor.
And Brethren, let us not love in words nor in tongue, but in deed and
in truth. 'Therefore, Brethren, let love be without dissimulation, and
let brotiierly love continue; yea! see that ve love one another with a
pure heart fervently.
Now uretliren and Sisters, as the dear children of God, let us sliow
our ovc for each odier by acts of kindness toward one another; let ns
be Wiuing and ready, as much as is in us, at ail tline.s, to give to the desti-
tutj and the needy ; let us ever be ready to speak a kind word to those
that lire 111 trouble, ami to those tliat are cast down ; let our words he
woros 1)1 comfort to all the dear .saints ; let us be found always watch
ing over one another for good and nut for evil.
linally. Brethren, he strong in the Lord, pursuing every good word
and work ; hve close to each other ; let not this world appear to be our
homo ; and, let us remember the sufferings that Jesus endured, in order
that we might be redeemed from our sins.
Noa, may tlie love of Clirist dwell in yo.u richly, and may liis Spirit
guide you 111^ the pathway of chi'istiaii duty, and may that brotherly
love anu Christian union ever be per[)etuated among the .saiuts of God
IS our prayer, for Christ’s sake—Amen. '
