Rev. J. T. Borah, of Rienzi, Miss., the venerable stated clerk of Bell Presbytery, died Jan. 12, after a service of more than fifty years in the ministry. He was buried at Corinth. Rev. I. D. Steele, of Nashville, whose wife is a daughter of Brother Borah, writes from the home of his late father-in-law, whither he went to attend the funeral: "He closed his own eyes and went to sleep in Jesus."
