The life and writings of Rufus CBurleson, DD., LLD., containing a biography of DrBurleson by HonHarry Hayens; . e. A short time before his death, Eev. Mr. Tryon askedhim: On what are your hopes of acceptance with yourCreator and your Judge founded?7 He promptly replied:On the merits of Christ only. It was by such dying testimony as this, and by such elo-quent pleas for the Sabbath-school and the strict observanceof the Lords Day that this great Statesman became anefficient co-laborer of the Old Guard. Thus lived and died one of the noble founders of Texasindependence and glory and a pillar of virtue and remains were borne to the new Baptist Church by hisMasonic brethren and an immense concourse, where his dearold friend, Tryon, preached a sermon of great power and ten-derness. His noble companion, a mother in Israel, his twodaughters, Mrs. Col. Clough and Mrs. Dr. Beall, and JudgeVanzandt, the banker, all live in Fort Worth. May the mantle of the father fall on the son, and may hisnoble example inspire all the youth of Texas to deeds of piety,patriotism and glory. HOK A. G. A. G. HAYNES. In a previous article on the spotless lives and noble deedsof our dear brethren of The Old Guard, I wrote: Gods Dr. Rtjfus C. Burleson. 715 mercy to Texas is eminently displayed in giving her true,wise and heroic leaders in Church and State, equally so inthe noble men and women He gave to aid them in their greatplans. And if I can do full justice to the co-laborers whostood by the Old Guard and like Aaron and Hur, held uptheir hands, the reader will doubt whether to praise God morefor the Old Guard or for their co-laborers. This sentimentwill be fully illustrated and confirmed by the noble deacon,Hon. A. G. Haynes, whose long, zealous and eminently use-ful life I now desire to record, as a monument to his praiseand rich legacy to his family, to Texas Baptists and the Em-pire State he loved so well. Bro. Albert G. Haynes was born in Green county,Georgia, August
