From the Commercial Advertiser, Oct %
Mr.. Webster, We believe, was not at the time OF
his death, member Of any religious denomination.
with the Presby terrain Church. We know that he
had high regard for public profession of religion
in Others, and rejoced when such showed their fdel
ity to their professions by corresponding life.
Some years ago, we had the pleasure of spending
several days in company with Mr.. Webster at ths
residence Of mutual friend, Harvey Ely, Esq, Mt
Rochester During that intercourse, we had more
tbnn one opportunity OF conversng on religious sub
jects-sometmes on doctrinal points, but moro gene
rally on the Importance Of the Holy Scriptures. aa
containing the plan of mans salvation, through the
atontment Of Christ. So far as our knowledge OF
the subject extends, Mr.. Webster was rs orthodox
any we ever conversed with.
On one occasion, when seated in the drawing
room with Mr. and Mrs. Ely, Mr.. Webster laid hts
hand on copy of the Scriptures Saying, with great
emphasis, ''Ths is the books This led to con-
yersation on the Importance OF the Scriptures, and
the too frequent neglect of the study of tho Bible
by gentlemen of the legal profession their pursuit,
il life leading them to the almost exclusive study
of works baving reference to their profession. Mr.
Webster said, Il have read through the entire Bible
many times. ] now make practice to go through
it year. 1t is the book of all others for Law
yers well as for dvines; and pity the man that
cannot find in it rich supply of thought, and OF
rules for his conducts it fits man for hle--it pre-.
pares him for DEATH
Tho conversation then turned upon sudden deaths;
and Mr.. Webster adverted to the then resent death
of his brother, who expired suddenly at Concord, N
Ill. "My brother" he continued, "knew the i'm.
portancc Of Bible truths The Bible led him 20
prayer, and prayer was his communion with God.
On the day on which he died, no was engaged in an
important GAUGE in the court then in session. But
this cause, important as it was, did not keep him
from his duty to his God he found time for prayer,
for on the desk which he had just left, was iou1d
paper written by him on that day, which, for fer
vent piety, \ deyotedness to his Heavenly Master,
and for expressions Of humility, think wss never

Nr. Webster then mentioned the satisfaction he
