DEATH OF ELD. S. DAVISON.

ELD. SAMUEL DAVISON died near Pardee, Kansas, June 5. He was born in England in 1802; united with the Baptist church at the age of 16, and early in life entered the ministry. He united with the Seventh-day Baptists in New Jersey, in 1843. We shall never forget the impression made on our mind by his tract entitled, "The True Sabbath Embraced and Observed," which we received from Eld. O. P. Hull on the occasion of a visit to us soon after we commenced the observance of the Sabbath, in 1853. Eld. Davison was a firm believer in the hope of life through Jesus and the resurrection. In his later years, he embraced certain views of the prophecies, which we could not endorse; but of his integrity and conscientious regard for the truth we think there could be no question.
