  Notes	Biblical Recorder, Raleigh, North Carolina, Wednesday, 23 July 1902 BASS BASS.- Mr. J.A. Bass was overtaken by the hand of affliction at his home in Danville, Va., march 19, and was called to his reward May 28. He was called from this world in early manhood, being only twenty-two years old, and was baptized by Rev. W.E. Warren. He was a pious, consecrated young man. Many were impressed with his daily walk. He loved and revered the church and Sunday-school, and was ever loyal to the Master?s work. Faithfulness to his prefession adorned his life when in dying moments. His daily walk with friends and kindred in North Carolina and Virginia proved to us that he was ready to meet his God. Just before he crossed the river of death he spoke these words for his North Carolina friends: ?Fairwell pilgrims of North Carolina ? a few miore years, and we will be together.? A few moments before he breathed his last, he called the family to bid them good bye. The first to hear the parting word was the dear old father, and the next was his three sisters, then the little brother Harry, and last of all the one who loved him most, the dear mother. Then was heard to sing a few words from that old hymn: ?Redeeing love has been my theme and shall be until I die.? When the shadow of death drew near he said, ?Tell mother I am going to heaven.? His remains were placed near Birch, Va., where his little sister Lizzie, had been sleeping twelve months and four days. Let us remember him as one who sleps and not dead. A friend. J.D. Elliott.
