On the oath ult., at his residence near Mays

in the 69th year of his age.
| The subject of this sketch was a native of
county, where he continued to reside until remov-
ed by death. By untiring industry, strict econo-
my, and constant attention to business he secured
| not only competency for himself but left a hand
some property for his children. Strictly honest in
all his business transactions, he left name of un
spotted integrity In his intercourse with his fell
low men, he was kind courteous and affectionate.
He had no personal difficulties to annoy him, and
no enemies 10 revenge. Bro. M. united with the
Baptist Church, in Mayslick, the 18th of Octo-
Der, 1843. He was baptized by Rev. J. L. Helm,
during his successful passionate of that Church. On
the 18th of April. 1874, he elected by the
church to the Deaconship and continued to fulfil
the duties of that Office until his death.
Such few of the facts in the life of our de-
ceased brother. Let US see how he met the duties
and responsibilities that were imposed upon him.
Behold him then, as the sincere and humble Chris-
tion. He was not a mere professor of the religion
of Christ but real, earnest, Christian. His love
to God and his cause was deep, firm and abiding
With him, there ostentation, no parade. His
sweetness of temper-kindness of heart-upright
department and godly CONVERSATIONAL bespoke
the true Christian gentleman. His life was well
calculated to show what the religion of Christ is
fitted to accomplish, when left to exert its proper
and legitimate influence upon the heart and life of
those who profess it.
Bro. NJ. possessed expansive benevolence. His |
charities not distributed indiscrimnately, but
reserved for those objects esteemed deserving
1t was only necessary to make known to him some
object of suffering or to spread out before him the
wants of n perishi=g world-at home and abroad, |
for the bread of lfe-to enlist his sympathies, |
prayers and means to supply their necessities. All
the great benevolent enterprises of the day-Sab-
bath schools, missions and the distribution of the
Holy Scriptures-shared in his sympathies and
contributions.
His love for the church of his choice intense,
and his anxiety for her peace and prosperity seemed
only the stronger the nearer he approached the
'Valley and the shadow of death" Truly could |
he say
''I love thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of thine abode,
The church blest Redeomer saved,
With his own precious blood.
AS Deacon of the church Bro. NJ. excelIed. The
Office of Deacon is fgreat responsibility, and
to fill it acceptably requires a of earnest pety
and prompt and correct business habits. 1t may |
that Office with greater fidelity and singleness of
purpose than did the subject of this notice. Ger |
tainly did it with greater acceptability .

fidence of his brother DeacOns, and Of the entire
rotherhood-esteemed and beloved by them all

pastor, with high Of duty and correct bust
ness habits, he could not fail to magnify his Office

had not bereft him, useful and active members of
the church of Christ His last illness prOtrac
ted and his suerngs great. Yet in it all, his
confidence in his Redeemer was firm and mistaken.
He knew in whom he had believed, and felt that he
was safe in trusting all in his hands. Death at
length came, and, without regret, he fell asleep
in the bosom of the Savior. To mourn his death
he leaves four children, and large circle Of rela-
tives and friends. May they follow him, as
he followed Christ, and at last into the rest that
remains for the people of God" "BIessed are the
dead which die an The Lord from henceforth: yeo,
saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors;
and their corks do fotIo,e them" C. X.

'sTruly in life we are in the midst of death.'
The deceased was one, whom to know vas to ad-
mire; while her winning exterior, combined
with so many amiable qualities Of heart which
attract aud endear made her the object of the
deepest interest and affection which friends could
offer upon earth. She has gone from their pres
ence in the flesh: but we have r. ason to hope
that her spirit has fallen sweety asleep in Jesus,
and is at rest. Her suferinGs were not long,
but severs-a stroke of apopeXy closing her
young career. May God in His mercv comfort
the beveaved parents and sorrowing fTienGs with
the sweet trust that ''tteir loss as her gain"
Calm on the bosom OF thy God
Dear spirit rest thee now;
Ev'n when with us thy footsteps trod-
His seal was on thy brow.
