North Carolina Presbyterian 12/8/1892
  At his residence, near Red Springs, Nov.
25th, 1892, Dr. AMGUS BETHUNE, in the
70th year of his age.
   His was a life of singular purity and upright-
ness.  Few men live so long and so uniter-
ruptedly maintain a name as wide-spread for
unsullied integrity.  His was one of the
sturdiest of characters.  In it there was no
compromise with evil.  His very silence on
the least questionable propositions was felt
to be a rebuke.  He was indeed a living
epistle of Christ.  Out brother has gone but
his works shall follow him.  Having minis-
tered long as a pious physician to his suffer-
ing brother man in order to stay the inroads
of their diseases and alleviate their pains, he
is now, great numbers are confident, where
he himself is free from disease and pains and
made perfectly blessed in the enjoyment of
God.  Having fought the good fight and
kept the faith we are assured he now wears
the crown.  Antioch church has lost one of
its best members, but heaven has another
added to its multitudes clothed in white and
filled with glory.
