FALLEN ASLEEP.—Beloved RICHARD LEDGER SMITH, of Dublin, has
gone into the inner presence of his Lord. He "fell asleep," on Sept.
27th, [1893] of typhoid fever. For many years our departed brother laboured
diligently in the Gospel, and among the saints in Merrion Hall, and was
much esteemed and beloved by all who knew him. Firm in his
grasp of the Word of God, and fearless in his defence of the truth, he
was patient and wise, and often won his way to prejudiced minds where
others more zealous had failed. For the beloved widow—who was to him
a true help-meet in all his service—we would ask the prayers and sympathies
of the Lord's people. In the departure of Richard Smith, we feel
the loss of a true personal friend, and a devoted servant of Christ.
"We shall meet him once more, at Thy coming again."
