0 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
'Lan interesting article on " Whitefield's Bones,"
1144°,4r Paper of Monday evening last, the writer gives
I,°llpDedote of that truly great and good man, which he
N' Z' is new. Such, however, is not the case, for a
'l-,;Y anecdote of him will be found in a note
1,42 q illiams's Diary," second edition, by Hanbury,
;!4i'„tt Page 434 : it is there stated that " The Rev. G.
,"hoth'',eld observed to Mr. Williams, that frequently he
-,4q glorified God by a life peculiarly active in his
1 was not permitted to say much for Him at death.
`r7 tt,%'llol I, friend Williams,' said be, ' may probably
'4l-i;ft;e at this season. It is usually the mourning
r,"(1 -i";44 Whose mouth is opened at that period, in order
uce his own sincerity and the faithfulness of
Itltith, Mr. Whitefield's death, it is well known, was
4t4,;11; and Mr. Williams having fallen into a lethargic
1,,\VD17, as incapable of opening his mouth for God."
You allow me, Mr. Editor, to add that Jos.
a5ll, 'll,l, of Kidderminster, was an extraordinary per-
Nh,"is natural powers were superior, and, though
`4,4t4' ,irriinert,ed in business, he had assiduously culti-
,N tnem ; but his piety was of a very high order, as
uiery" shows. He was indeed in thin respect
:till',°lle could wish that every British tradesmen were.
;k11„,'0 be regretted that the latest edition of this very
Sii;"le work, published by Mr. W.'s descendant, Mr.
rY, is now out of print. If the beauty and value
Nat t.• Williams's writings were known, I am quite sure
i:urther
editions would be called for.
