'arly history the writer knows notliing e.%0)t that with all Adam’s family ho was con- ceiml-in sin and brought forth in iniquity kpmd continued to roll sin under his tongue as 'a sweet morsel until arre.sied by the Spirit of God; wlten, as we have often heard him say; he viewed himself the worst of mankind, and he moaned his condition for manv days, when it pleased the Jjord to manilcst his love to him in the pardon of liis sins. He then w;is enabled to rejoice with joy uaspeakable and full of glory. He united with the Primi tive Baptist Church at West Fork, in Floyd County, V^a.? Sunday Alarch 17th, 1822, and was baptized liy Elder Jesse Jones. He lived with the church in peace and enjoyed their confidence and fellow-ship until September 1st, 1832, when the church licensed him to preach the gospel of Christ. He irent forward in the discharge of this duty with great fear and trembling, often doubting liis call; but, to use his own words—he felt unable to preach, hat could not remain silent, but was often pray ing to the Lord to direct him what to do, and as the impressions deepened he continued to exercise his gift in the ministry, not without opposition from tlie enemies, until Septem ber 3rd 1836, when he had made full jiroof of, his ministry and usefulnes.s that he was or dained to the full functions of the ministry, and went forward in the administration of the ordinancts of the house of God. Elder Sum ner certainly made full proof of his ministry. He had but a limited education, but by clo.se application to study lie acquired considerable knowledge ofbooks. He traveled considera I'ly, in Virginia mostly, and preached Jesus and him crucified, with power. Several churches were built up under his ministry. He was Pastor of Indian Creek, Xew B-iver, ATcadow Creek, White Oak Grove and Lau rel Creek churches, until age and infirmities prevented him from serving them. The JjOrd added many seals to his ministry— among the number he had the pleasure of seeing five or six of the members of the churches which he served embark in the ministry and rise to distinction among the Baptists. Among them,‘one of his sons (but his ministry was short, as he died several years before his fiither.) Elder Sumner of ten spoke of the young ministers as his sons in the ministry, and tre:ited them as such, often encouraging them, and both by precept and example, admonishing them to be faith ful and humble in the discharge of their du ties. He did not envy them'but appeared to he happy in their company, always setting them forward and never appeared more li,ap- py than when they vlcre enabled to preach comfortingly. He was a good disciplinarian and the churches over which he was Pastor loved him for his firmness. lie was useful in his neighborhood as a peace-make and also as a physician, liaving .acquired considerable knowledge of medicine. To my knowledge he was scrupuously exaqt i.|i his dealings with his fellow-men, avoiding^ebt and thereby troubles on that score. ' ■ By industry he ac quired a competent living and his house tvas a home for his brethren and friends. He was twice married-s-by his first wife he had thirteen cliildren, nine boys and four girls— nine of his children su,i»Vive him. He had no issue by lii.s last wife : she is left a widow to mourn with lijs 'chihlren. Brethren and friends, he was sick many weck.sT>«fore he died. AVhlle he was able ta travel his seaf’^Vs' scltfbiyt vacant at AVliite Oak Grove, where his membership was held- He was IMstor of that church, which had been built up under his ministry. He bore liis last illness with Christian fortitude, and expressed his willingness to go at his Alaster’s call. He told the writer that he had nothing to fear, that he was perfectly resigned to the will c)t the .Lord and said, I am waiting for my Alastci-’s time, to go ! I am ready when it is his pleasure to call! In liis death his wife has lost an afl’ectionate companion, his children a loving father, the churches a wise counselor and faithful pastor. But, we should all bow with reverence to the will of God and not murmur at his ways, for all is ordered for the best. Alay the Lord send us a Pastor o^ his own choosing to fill the place of our old brother and faithful Pastor, that ive may be comforled. While we deeply mourn onr loss we believe it is his eternal gain. Alay God grant consolation to his widow and children . • and friends, and enable all to say: Thy will be clone, oh Lord ! Is the prayer of John C, Hall. (^VV^I^LIS 13. HUCKABEE was born in Cumberland County, X". C., July 25th, CV 1801; married Catharine Hudson J uly 23rd, 1821 and moved to Xershaw County, S. C., about the year 1830, where he spent the remainder of his days. His wife bore him ten children—six daughters and four .sons— five daughters and one son passed away be fore him. By industry, care and diligence he accumulated very good living. He was an affectionate husband, tender parent and kind neighbor. He v-as very jdaln and pointed in vindication of truth and ju.stice,and every one acquainted with liivn esteemed him very liij^hly. On the 17th day of June 1854 he related what he believed the Lord had done for his poor soul to the Primitive Baptist Church of Christ, at Beaver Dam, Kershaw County, S. C., and was very joyfully received; and he and Sister Elizabeth .Owens were baptized next day by Elder AI. AIcGraw, and he re mained a very consistent membex in that church while he lived, always manifesting his faith, hope and love in and to Glirist and his cause, by a pious walk and godly conver sation. He and I traveled much together, to Associations, tTnion and Alonthly Aleet- ing.s. Alany, yea, very many pleasant days, we have spent together, “we have been made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Our hearts were knit together in love—seemed to be one in Christ Jesus. But my highly esteemed and mueb beloved biother Huckabee was called by liis heav enly Father home to glory, April 3rd, 1875 He breathed his last in the arms of his blessed Redeemer. He had Kidney Disease and other complaints, nearly losing the use of his legs from his hips dowii. In his last illness he was confined to liis bed for five months and eighteen day.s, sufl'ering more than tongue or ])eii can describe. He bore his afflictions with great submission to the will of God. Hes.aid to meat ditferent times —I am willing to go at any time, and though I sufier so much I am willing to await my AJaster’s call ! “Alany are the afflictions of the righteous, hut the Lord deiivereth him out of them all.” We believe he is delivered from all trouble and gone to enjoi' that rest prepared for the people of God, therefore we sorrow not as those who have no hope. AI. AIcGraw. ***Primitive Baptist please copy. f EPAETED this life April 22nd, 1875 : Airs. Jenneth 8'taton, in the81st year of her age. She had long been a mem ber of the Primitive Baptist Church, held her membership at Cros.s Roads and attended regularly until sickness obliged lier to discontinue it. But, we must all remember that her blessed and happy spirit was not destined for the confines of the tomb, but upward she went to sing praise before the throne of her God. During her life she was alwaj’-s ready to help the needy, and those whom her kindness was bestowed upon will remember and weep for her. All that medi cal care and affection could do for her was done, but of no avail, Christ had called his faithful servant to him—and ivhen he calls we must obey. The world that seemed so bright to the yonng and thoughtless, had not many delights for her after she liad lost her husband. She bore her affliction with chris. tian fortitude and was never heard to mur mur. . Her funeral was preached at her resi dence near Tarboro’ by Eld. Thomas O’Berry. Her mortal body was laid in the quiet grave by ihe side of her husband to sleep peacefully until the last day when we shall all rise to be summoned before the Indo-mpni ce-if- of the Great Jehovah.—a Euni-xu iHu It Sir nits W. & 1, Co.
