Christian Messenger - Wednesday, 05 December 1860 - Page 390 - Sydney B. Daly - Son of Mr. M.M. Daly, died at Kingston, Aylesford, Nov. 17th, in the 19th year od his age. He came from the United States not long before, and was attacked with diphtheria, while attending on persons sick with that dreadful malady, on the 20th of September. His suffering was great. On visiting him, and perceiving that he seemed unconscious of the need for preparation for eternity, I remarked to him, that I hoped - certainly I had fears - that he had not imbibed any such pernicious idea that the Bible is not true, or that all will be saved. From his silence I naturally inferred that he had. While I was on a remote part of my circuit he became extremely ill. He then stated to Bro. D.M. Welton, of Windsor, that he was once impressed in a time of revival, and united with a religious body; but that some contentions arose and he withdrew, and embraced Universalism. He added, "I find it will do to live by, but not to die by." After a season of deep distress, he trusted that he obtained consolation by relying on the Saviour of sinners. A little before he deceased he requested me to attend his funeral, and preach from the passage that relates the conversion of the malefactor on the cross. The night before his departure he expressed to a young man attending upon him an ardent wish that he should be Christian, and meet him in heaven. The solemn occasion was improved, in accordance with his request, by a discourse addressed to a numerous and attentive congregation from Luke xxiii, 39 - 43. - Communicated by Rev. C. Tupper.
