OBITUARY: Brother A. C. Borden was born, in Calhoun County, Ala., on November 15, 1835, and died on August 13, 1904. Brother Borden had been a faithful preacher of the gospel for forty-four years, and had delivered during this period ninety-eight hundred sermons. He had been feeble for many years. Besides his other afflictions, he had been for a number of years almost entirely blind. I had known and been intimately associated with Brother Borden for many years. He was a noble, pure Christian; a grand gospel preacher; and one of the best-posted men in the Old Testament Scriptures I have ever met. In delivery he was earnest, zealous, forcible. But he is at rest. One by one these old soldiers of the cross are passing away. Soon it will be ours to go; let us, like Brother Borden, be ready. It is a sad fact that Brother Borden was neglected by the brotherhood in his old age and affliction. He suffered much and long, but his suffering has ended. The blessings will be sweeter because of the sufferings here. May the Lord bless his bereaved family. Brethren, send help to Sister Borden; she lives at Edna, Texas --- J. W. Denton, Gospel Advocate, 1904, 634.
