Ffieudship's last Offices hare been paid 10 the
remains ,f ,fLAwREscE WILLIAMS. This venefa,
bic man was native Of North Cssoiina; but for
many years resident cf this District in which be
was well known, and generally cstccmed sor kis
mild, benevolent, and pa,riarchal claraeter. At
the commencement Of The Revolutionary War,
when quito youth, he embraced the cause OF
Freedom: and served his time in J.ettse Of Mar
que and Reprisai, until the vessel was taken by
The enemy: and her crew made prisoners Of vaf.
gagged, for q livelihood. in The management OF
plantations, which business he followed through
The rrsi Of his life. During his lingering and nam,
fuI disrasc, which terminated in death, the uscrcy
Of Providence which supplied al earthly wants,
and tho means Of grace happily afforded him, we're
bis frequent subjects Of d,scnurse and gratitude.
According TO his anxious wish, the Sacrament of
the Lords Supper was ndminister.dto him, ON his
sick bed, in the sclcmn and affecting service Of
the Church. II vas an impressive testimony 70 the
value Of religious ordinances, which could insuiro
The sufferer with calm and boly assurances of di-
vine love; and draw fa,ih hs ardent aspirations of
faith in tho savioufs iniercession for psfdcn and
acceptance with God. The humble christian felf,
that, in himself, there was nothing, which sove-
rrisn justice could find worthy OF aver. ri. homes
Of salvation rested on The divine promises. He
was assured, than through g,ace, 1.-THE king Of
tcrrors could Lavc no triumph over him. "Y Yea,
though lIe walked through The ysIlcy OF the shadow
Of death, be would fear no evil THIS btcssrd an.
,icipaiion wns realized. With apparently very III
tlc pain, and ui.hnat a struggle be ceased t6 be
mortal On the 9th uii and commenced the life
eternal, in The I'D ycar Of his age Thus full Of
years, cstinablc a The opinion Of those sbo knrw
him, and irrcproarhablc in his wallis of fisr, he
has bequcathed 10 survivors the example or man
uho loved mercy, and did justice, and walked
tumkly with his God.
Pilgrim Of that heavenly land,
Bys the Saints OF God possrssid:
Lean upon The Sarioui hand;
And enter in thy glorious rest.
Lcare all fears within the ground,
Where Thy relics cain reciine,
Until The Angcl's trump ahall sound,
Their joyous call TO lie divine.
When freed from earti, the righteous Csc,
To hsmcwafd joys, on faiths suoHg wing
ben, uhese, q. grave Thy victory!
And then, o. DEATH where b Thy sting,
