By the death of the Rev. John Lomas, Wesleyan
Methodism has lost a most accomplished preacher and
divine. Mr. Loma, commenced his ministerial career in
1820, and occupied the pulpits of Bath, Brietsil, Birming-
ham, Hull, Manchester, and London till 1804, when he
became successive Theological Tutor at Richmond and
Headingley Colleges, retiring in 1973. From the outset
Mr. Lomax was, in a very marked sense, • student and a
preacher. lie was a man of immense reading, and he
carefully mastered and digested what he read. Though
he hail, like James Parsons, of York, • weak voice, his
eloquence was very striking. Ills sermons were real
discourses, and sometimes massive dissertations. His first
few sentences rivetted the attention of his audience, whirls
remained fixed till he finished the division of his subject,
and gave them a few moments pause for relief. His style
was plain, lucid, elegant, and forcible, and was formal on
the hest modebt His life was spotless, simple, and
charming, and his charity was equal to his mental vigour
and the purity of his life. He was never married.
