Rev. Daniel e Reese, pastor Of the M. p.
Church, In Georgetown, then arose and took for
bis teIt the 9Th 7th and Sth verses Of the fourth
chapter OF second Timothy: "POr | am now
ready to be offered, and the time Of my departure
is al hand. 1 have fought a good aght, have
finished my course, have kept the faith. Hence
forth there 10 laid up for me crown OF righteous
ness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge shall
give me at that day; and not to me only, butunto
all that love His appearing
The minister commenced his discourse by ssk-
ing, who does not wish for that calmness In
death which Paul expected and besought his
hearers to live for! The deceased he knew
well sId long-his loving spirit, his fidelity and
geuteness endeared him 70 all. He entered
1he Marylgud Conference In 1859, and no matter
where be wag assigned by the stationing power,
ne never refused, but obeyed the call with cheer
1ulness. For two years he served az their presid-
ing ofhcer, and he fulfilled his duties with such
ability that the conference urged him TO serve
ahem longer, but he declined. The deceased was
In his 46tk year, and was a useful minister, hav-
ing his whole hear. In the work In March last,
he was sent to this charge, and in the commence
nent Of his usefulness be had been cut down.
But bis end was peace, and his spirit now rests
IN bliss Let rs not look in the conn for Brother
RobY, but with the eye Of faith look 70 those
heavenly plains whs1e the good spirits OF earth
are In their enjoyment. DR.. Reese concluded by
eKhorting his hearers 10 live that life which
would secure such an end TO themselves
The sermon was listened to with marked at
1ention, the preacher being the oldest effective
minister now In the Conference, and held In much
estsem.
The choir then sang HGo TO thy grave in peace, u
and after the benediction had been pronounced
by the Rev. g. w. Samson, Of Columbian Col
the procession proceeded to Oak Hill Cemetery,
Georgetown, where, after the burial service wss
read the body was consigned 70 the grave.

Mr. Robey, although apparently healthy per.
son and OF remarkable cheerful and active dispo-
sitiOn, had been for twelve YeaB physically In
disposed; but the immediate eagse Of his death
was typhoid fever, having been taksr Jul about
nine weeks since. II was thought at Obs time
that he would soon recover, but relapse set IL,
and gradually s:nklag, bis spirit peacefully took
ia flight on Thursday evening last On reali-
zing that his end was near, hs called his sorrow
ing family TO his bed side and took lsive Of them
He desired, after giving his counsel to his family
70 be remembered to the Conference, and aise Ea-
Cussted that the president, Rev. l.. w. Bates, TO
whom he was much attached, should preseh his
funeral sermon, but that minister being unable to
reach the city In time, Rev. DIR. d. F.. Reese was
called. A little while before his death he re-
suested his aged brother (Rev. U. Ward) TO re-
peat the hymn, " There II q foun tain filed with
blood !" ke., during which he seemed to be flled
with unsPeakable joy, and his spirit peacefully
Eended It's way to the God who gave 1t.
