Robert Dabbs departed this life September 3, 1896. A man of God has fallen. He is not dead, but sleepeth. He gold his friends and pupils at Sunday-school the Sunday before his death that he was prepared for heaven and would be here only a few days longer. God seems to have said: "It is enough, come up higher." He is gone, his voice is hushed, yet he speaks. His life is more than a memory and his example should be an inspiration and his influence a benediction, and his life-work a blessing to his people, especially to his relatives, whom he so earnestly requested his friends to pray for. He was faithful to his Lord, true to his church and upright in all his dealings. He was sick but a few days, and suffered much. The angel of death came, released him of this pain and took him to his long-sought home. HELEN. Tyler, Texas.
