on the free grace and tender mercy of God in Christ Jesus. Often had he expressed a wish, when health stood on his cheek, that in his last moments he might feel himself to be the chief of sinners, and never was a desire of the heart more fully realized. Those who were present with him when health had fled must bear their testimony to the views which he entertained of himself in the latest moments of his life. With his last labouring breath he said to those around him, as if he were desirous to give them another token of his safe standing, "I am accepted -accepted." Gathering up his feet in the bed, like the good old patriarch, Jacob, he departed this mortal life, full of the assurance of faith, and full of years, at five o'clock in the evening of the 15th day of November, 1843; aged seventy-seven years. His dying testimony will never be forgotten by those who witnessed his departure to enter on the large reward reserved for him in heaven. In him the church of the living God on earth lost an admirer, and the family a kind and indulgent father. His worth will long be remembered by all who knew him; and his conversation at all times tended to pleasure and improvement. May his piety and zeal long encourage the hope of those who have believed through grace; and, with the divine blessing, may it awaken a desire in all to follow his steps as he followed Christ. INDEX.
