and in the thirty-third year of his ministry. He was a minister of
great talents, and his ministry was exceedingly popular and very
useful. He was chosen President of the Conferrence in the
Centenary year; and, during the time the. Conference held their
meetings in Liverpool, he performed the duties of his distinguished
office with great ability. He had scarcely entered upon his labours
in the Sixth London Circuit, to which he was appointed, when his
health suddenly failed, and, except in a very few instances, for
nearly two years, he was unable to preach or perform any public
ministerial service. He returned to his residence in Albany-street,
Regent's-park, from the Isle of Wight, three weeks ago, his health
worse than it had been through the winter, and with the impression
that he was returning home to die. But he anticipated death with
Christian calmness, and even with desire, for he felt assuredfor his
interest with his Saviour; and he expressed a wish to be spared pro.
tracted suffering, and to be favoured with a sudden death. His
desire was granted. A large blood-vessel in the lungs gave way,
and, in three or four minutes he breathed his last.
