Ellwood D. EMMONS
Age: 20
Date of Decease: 8mo. 7 1862
Washington Co., O.
Son of Thomas and Mary EMMONS.
He had sustained a good moral character, but when brought to a bed of sickness, found that it was not sufficient to justify him in the Divine sight, and that the great work of the soul's salvation had been too much neglected in the time of health.
He spoke of the privilege and duty of attending religious meetings, and regretted that in time past he had not been sufficiently careful when there to have his mind gathered in reverent waiting on the Father of Mercies for ability to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
He passed through much mental exercise during his protracted illness, but was eventually, through redeeming love, enabled to experience forgiveness, and his mind was clothed with peace. Reviewing his life he said that he had been travelling in the broad way to destruction, but, through mercy, had been brought to see the exceeding sinfulness of sin, and to experience the goodness of God through Jesus Christ. He desired to praise Him for his long-suffering compassion, often expressing thankfulness that he had not been taken away in the early part of his illness in an unprepared state.
He said that he had been permitted to have a view of the glorious heavenly kingdom, where holy angels were praising God, and much desired that his parents and brothers and sisters might endeavor to live so as to be prepared to meet him in that happy home, "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."
To a young person of his acquaintance he said, "Put not off from time to time to make thy peace with God, for death may snatch thee hence; and in the grave there is no knowledge, nor device; no place for repentance. Millions have been called from time to eternity while slumbering in sin or in a career of wickedness. Seek to become wise unto salvation, and to be reconciled to God through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. Thou canst not effect it through any other name. There is no other name given whereby sinners can be made heirs of salvation. Lead not a giddy and unthinking life, but work out thy soul's salvation while it is day, for the night cometh, and thou wilt then be unable to do it. Dwell not on idle thoughts- on airy nothings; seek a mansion above the sky by prayer and a thirsting of God, as the hart panteth after the water-brooks. Neglect not thy immortal soul, and bestow not labor to decorate thy body which is but dust. Beware of the vanity and flattery of the world; love God with thy whole heart, that thou may be able to say in truth, 'My record is on high, and my reward is with thy God.' Having once entered a mansion of the blest, God will wipe away all tears from thy eyes, and thou shalt be unutterably happy for ever."
