TAYLOR.—At his home in Hyde Park, Mass., Nov. 6, 1899, Eld. Daniel T. Taylor,
Of precious memory, aged 76 years, 7 months and 16 days.
Eld. Taylor was born at Rouse's Point, N. Y., March 20, 1823, and was converted to Christ and joined the M. E. Church in 1841. In the winter of 1843 he first listened to the doctrine of the pre-millennial advent of Christ, and became a firm believer and powerful advocate of that truth. In 1844 he dissolved his connection with the M. E. Church and identified himself with the general body of Advent Christian faith. In 1846 he began to preach the glad tidings of soon coming redemption, beginning his ministry in Canada, where he labored two years in association with Eld. Levi Dudley. He was ordained at Clarenceville, Canada, [28 Jun 1848] by Elds. J. Litch, R. Hutchinson, H. Buckley and C. H. Dow, and during a long ministry as both evangelist and pastor, preached in many places in Canada, New England, and New York state.
But he wrote even more than he preached. In 1852-5 he prepared his masterly work, entitled, "The Reign of Christ on Earth, or the Voice of the Church in all Ages," a noble volume of 545 pages, first published by H. L. Hastings in 1855. It will no doubt remain a standard authority while time shall last. He has also written many other books, pamphlets, tracts, and articles for the religious press. He was said to be the best historian among all the Second Advent ministry and people, upon matters relating to the Christian church, both Roman and Protestant. He was a poet of no mean talent, and his stanzas ring and thrill with true fervor and poetic spirit. His well known hymn beginning,
"Lift your glad voices in triumph on high" will never die, and many others of his short poems are equally good. For many years he was a strong man, whose writings and public ministry alike were an honor to the cause he loved.
Several years ago he suffered from a paralytic shock, and has since been incapacitated for work of any kind. His letters, showing his intense anxiety to be at work, and his attempts to express his ardent longing for the coming of the Lord, were pitiable because revealing the sad ravages that disease can make of the noblest mind. For several months he had been gradually failing, and the death of Bro. H. L. Hastings, Oct. 21st, was a blow from which he could not rally. In but little over two weeks he was dead. His funeral was largely attended, and was at his residence. Elds. Burr, Hobbs, Piper, Haines and Smith assisted in the services. Touching remarks were made by Bro. J. K. Hastings, referring to the intimate relations long sustained between Bro. Taylor and his deceased father. He was then laid away to rest until the resurrection morn, exemplifying his own sweet words.
"We are passing away—but we're homeward bound,
We shall meet where the holy ones dwell,
Where the sweet-gliding waters of life are found,
And where none ever say farewell.
The writer enjoyed the privilege of occasional correspondence with Bro. Taylor for some fifteen or eighteen years. His letters were wonderfully encouraging and strengthening to a humble Adventist preacher and pastor. Probably he never knew how much good they did, but one grateful heart is glad to own the benefit thus received. May God in love and tender care direct the bereaved widow, and the loved and only son who mourn.
