Elder James Compton

February 18, 1905 - May 2, 2007

I just received word that Elder Compton was called home by our God at about 7:30 AM EST today. May our Lord be praised for his grace in giving us a wonderful blessing in Elder Compton, and may He be praised for taking him home to rest forevermore.

"And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?"

"For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption."

I will miss Elder Compton dearly, but I am thankful that his long sojourn has ceased, and he is finally at home where he so long desired to be.

Thanks for the posts on Elder Compton. I never knew him, but know people who did. All speak highly of him.
