News is received of the departure " to be with Christ" of our esteemed and beloved brother, T. G. Johnson, of Nassau, Bahamas. The heart-trouble from which he suffered made him realize that his home-going was not very far off. He has gone, and will be greatly missed.

Brought up in the Church of England, he was " lay reader " in that communion when, through a visit of Mr-Holder to Nassau, he learned the way of God more perfectly and took his place "without the camp." From that day he never wavered from this position in its various trials. Ever actively engaged in the dissemination of the truth, while carrying on his business, he preached boldly on every occasion that offered. Always " ready to give a reason for the hope that was in him," he let few opportunities go by for confessing his faith, and witnessed the good confession before all-great and small alike. The poor owed him much, for his heart was ever open to their plea. " He was a good man," as all will ungrudgingly acknowledge, and his removal will be felt as a distinct loss, not only in his immediate family circle, but in the " household of faith" and in the community at large. One by one our Lord's servants are called to their rest; may we who remain be diligent and faithful in our testimony for Him who is worthy, and for whose coming we wait.
