Yet, through self-distru.t, it was not till rear tue close of his pilgrim age, that Ire had the confidence to avow him
 self as Christian before tho world. At the patriarchal age of ninety years, he publicly rrofesssd his faith in Jesus Christ, and united with the Congregational Church in Torring
 ferd ; and, as he had Hong lived . consistent and blameless Christian life, 50 he continued | to do until. at the call of the Mastsr, he do. parted, and, as we trust, has found his rest in Heaven. -e .9~a .eai 9'
