DEATH OF Rev. CHRISTMAS EVANS.

July last. On OaDDaln, July lOln, ne
preached twice in the Welsh Baptist meet
ing-house, and on Monday evening at the
English Baptist meeting house, with al
most as much bodily and mental energy,
as he had been wont to display twenty
years ago. After he had retired to rest,
Monday evening, he had an attack ofwhat
was supposed to be erysipelas. On We'd
nesday he was better, and on Thursday t
walked out, but in the evening he had (
alarming symptoms, and in the night grew
worse. He exulted with holy triumph |
in the prospect of eternal glory, and his
end was peace, JOY and triumph.
The news of his death flew as on the !
wings Of the wind, and on the following
Monday, one ofthe largest assemblies ev-
er seen on su:h an occasion in Swansea,
evinced their last mark of high respect
and veneration, by coming from great dis
tances to accompany the remains of this
devoted servant of God TO their long rest
;ng,place.
Christmas Evans was ofthe Baptist de-
nomination, and has made Christ crueifed
the grand theme Of his ministry So years.
