Excerpt from In Memoriam, Rev. David Irving, D.D: Born August 31st, 1821, Died October 12th, 1885 Seemingly unfinished labors, when Christ calls his faithful servant to his reward, are complete in Him. The work which Christ has broken off, He will finish. Dr. Irving seemed to covet the benediction, Blessed is that servant whom his Lord, when He cometh, shall find so doing. His ambition seemed to be to die in harness. But let us turn now for comfort to those precious words which God has written for the consolation Of mourners, For if we believe that Jesus died and. Rose again, even so them also which Sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. Weep not for death 'tis but a fever stilled, A pain suppressed, a fear at rest.
