Christian Messenger - Wednesday, 26 October 1859 - Page 342 - Mary, Olivia, John and Ebenezer Anderson - Children of Bro. James Anderson of Gaspereaux, have all been taken away within a few days by that fearful malady “Ulcerated sore throat.” Sept. 4th, Mary Eliza after an illness of four days departed this life in the 13th year of her age. Olivia was the next to follow, who passed away from the scenes of Earth to the pure bliss of Heaven, Sept. 9th, in the 19th year of her age. Three years ago she became savingly acquainted with the Saviour and united with the Church in this place, and remained a consistent member until she left the Church militant to join the Church triumphant. Our dear sister’s illness was brief, only 5 days, yet she was found ready to obey the summons of her Master, and as she came near the spirit-land, every cloud was gone. Oh! with what earnestness did she pray for her Pastor, the Church, and for sinners, such a prayer none but the dying could utter; and how affectionately did she entreat those who visited her to prepare for the dying hour, and even before she came to the Jordan of death, she seemed like one breathing the Heavenly atmosphere, and longing to be with Jesus; but soon the freed spirit took its flight to meet a sainted mother, with the redeemed millions before the throne. About an hour after, John departed this life in the 16th year of his age, having been sick but 4 days, who left some evidence of a hope in the Saviour. These two were laid beside each other in the same grave. The nest day a sermon was preached from “Lord Jesus receive my spirit.” Sept. 21st, Ebenezer was also taken away aged 8 years. How deep and mysterious are the providences of God, may the Lord support our brother, the father of this deep affliction; a few years ago he lost the partner of his youth, now his children are nearly all taken away, may he be enabled to say, “The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away, and blessed be the name of the Lord.” - Communicated by the Rev. E.O. Read.
