Brother McCullough united with* the M. E. Church in the year 1843, and ever since has lived a consistent and exemplary Christian ; hischildren do not remember of him failing to have family prayer in* thirty-nine years. His hands wereever open to the wants of the suffering, and he Was ever ready to* assist in the Master's vineyard. For the past few years his health has been failing, but his hope ii> Christ remained unshaken. His last Illness was very short and his death unexpected. He labored on the farm Monday, was’ taken sick that night, grew worse l until Saturday morning, when, at* the rising of the sun, his soul departed to meet its Savior. The night before his while Buttering terrible pein (his disease was' lung fever and heart' affection) he would repeat portions' of Scripture and his mind seem to dwell on “that bright land above.?’ We deeply feel the loss of our* brother, for to know him was to love him. His widowed wife and the whole family have our tenderest sympathies. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. L. D. Thompson, assisted by the RevGeorge Guild, and were very large-

ly attended.
