* LOI 1945-2:
** With the Lord: William B. Johnson: Our brother, a well known servant of the Lord, late of 927 Chalker St.,Akron, Ohio, passed suddenly but peacefully into the Lord’s presence on Dec. 1, 1944. He had been in ill health for some years but had breakfast as usual, and while reading the scriptures with Mrs. Johnson, went home to be with Christ. Brethren W.P. Douglas and R.W. McCracken, both of Cleveland, spoke at the funeral service. We commend Mrs. Johnson to the prayers of the Lord’s people." Memorial officiated by W.P. Douglas.
** W.P. Douglas, 2016 Brunswick Rd., E. Cleveland, OH: "Our aged brother nearing his 85th birthday is not able to move about much, but on occasions he can minister the word of God with freshness. He took part in the funeral service of brother W.B. Johnson of Akron, Ohio. Writing to a friend recently he said, "Few have had a longer race nor have been the recipient of greater care, thought and love of a gracious, forbearing and patient 'God, for as long as I have been-now in my 68th year of grace. Surely I can say "Who is a pardoning God like Thee, Or who has grace, so rich and free."
** Widows of the Lord's Servants: "Honor widows that are widows indeed" (1 Tim. 5:3). Since we last published a list of widows of the Lord's servants in the issue of April 1944, four more sisters have been bereft of their husbands. This brings the list of sisters thus widowed in the past five years to 33.
