On the 21st of June, Mr. Frederick C. Rogers, son of the Rev. Ferdinand Rogers, D.D., of Zion Church, Greene, entered into rest.

The Gospel Messenger of July 4th says:  Mr. Rogers was a candidate for Holy Orders in the Diocese of Central new York.  He was admitted to candidateship in Sept. 1869 and entered upon the preparatory studies in the General Theological Seminary at New York.  Before he had proceeded far in his course, signs of disorder in his nervous system began to appear, and he was obliged with great reluctance, to suspend all literary labor.  Various efforts were made by more active pursuits, by relaxation, by change of scene to bring back to soundness and vigor the enfeebled body, and the disturbed mind suffering heavily by its sympathy with the physical disease.  One after another these patient experiments sadly failed.  The merciful Maker of his delicate frame, working in a mystery which we can humbly adore, but cannot comprehend, had another purpose, and was evidently making him ready for a service higher than that of any earthly Sanctuary.  It was a very affecting struggle between the sacred resolution of his spirit and the law of decay triumphing so early in his material organization.  As long as any power for Christian duty or usefulness remained, he bravely endeavored to use it for some good end and for his Master's honor.  Even the less regular undertakings of his declining health were aimed at some charitable result, the spiritual good of some neighbor or acquaintance, or the extension of the kingdom of Christ.  With the last year, we ought not to omit to say, he has labored and traveled, most faithfully and very effectually, in the interest of the Gospel Messenger, largely increasing its subscription list. Whether sick or well, the same attractive, gentle and honorable qualities of character stood out strongly to the light, purity of heart, a tender and scrupulous conscience, lofty aspirations, and zeal for the glory of God.  With such elements of promise, such capacities educated and trained for the ministry of Christ, with virtues so determined and graces so refined, he has passed on into that great everlasting peace, of which he had but feeble and broken foretaste here.  We can give thanks for him and ask faith and hope for ourselves.  In behalf of his family, in their repealed bereavements, affectionate and fervent intercessions will be offered in a large circle of families, sympathizing with their sorrow.
