At Westerly, R. I., Oct. 29th, 1847, of consumption, Mr. Enoch W. Vose, aged 36 years. Mr. Vose, for nearly five years before his death, was a professed disciple of Christ. About ten months since, he found himself attacked by the dreaded disease which had removed his brothers and other near friends. He was confined to his room about three weeks. His sufferings were severe. His faith was strongly tested in giving up his affectionate wife and his fond children. He possessed in abundance what might make life desirable. But as the current of mortal life ebbed towards the gateway of the grave, his immortal life rose through abounding grace and flowed with strong emotions towards the Paradise of God. To his wife and children and friends, who stood weeping around his dying bed, he spoke in words of calm and holy resignation. Being asked if he was afraid to die, the instant and emphatic reply was, "No - my trust is in God; glory to God." While prayer was being offered, and a hymn sung, descriptive of the heavenly world and state of the righteous, he fervently exclaimed, "Glory to God." At the close of the hymn he repeated the same triumphant rejoicing exclamation, and in an instant, without a struggle, was quietly asleep in the arms of the Saviour. Thus to die is gain.
