The deceased was for considerable time be-
fore his death, severely afflicted, hut he bore
this dispensation OF Providence with the ut

was not united with any particular sect of
Christians, nor made any profession of reli-
gion, yet he saw and felt the importance of il

himself 10 tie a sinner, he would often ex-
claim, 60 wreched man that am VIII q
shall deliver ne from the body of this dea h
Towards the closing scene he gave the clear

had passed from death unto lile--He would
frequently eXhOrt his children not TO live as
he had done, but to embrace religion while
young, and the heart more susceptible of di /,
vine impression-ln the solemn hour of his
dissolution he said, "Jesus is with me, and
precious TO my SOUL" and only a few Sec
onds before his spirit took its flight, he clasps
ed his hands and exclaimed, 81 see my pre-
cious Jesus; and then closed his eyes in
peace.
