to God. He cOnyerscd freely with his pastor and
gave him great satisfaction, and requested him to preach
his funeral and preach to the young Of Bethel and
tell them attend religion snow " and not TO put
it off as he had done. very impressive sermon was
preached by the Rev. DIR. Mcfarland at his funeral
from the text, Remember thy Creator in the days
