On last Sunday afternoon, the Rev, W. c.

preached an excellent Discourse la the Court
Home at tfanklinton, with reference to the
death of the venerable and faithful servant Of
Christ, DR.. Hoge, he having commenced hia
ministerial labors in thia place The reverend
gentleman took for his text the l2Gth Psalm
and 9Th verse; "He that goeth forth and weep.
eth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtlsss ootne
again with rejoicing, bringing his sheayes with
him" After pointing out tho labors and trials
OF the faithful Christian Minister, he REFER cd
to she labors of Dr.. Hoge, who organized the
hfst church In that place, and had much 90 con.
tend With, from the want OF harmony amohgst
the members, and tho session. That caused
him to weep. And although endowed with
superior talents, he frequently lsmentod his
ignorance, feeling that he Was bat an humble
servant 20 his Divine Master Mr. X, then
alluded ID HE great zeal and self-denial
Tor the extension Of the Redeemer's King
dom, going twenty or more miles on the Sab
bath day, and sometimes preaching four times
on the Sabbath, and no obstacles or excuses
seemed TO stand in his way, when he wns called
on to preach tho Gospel, and he had no doubt
many present might have witnessed HE fidelity
In that place. and his earnestness for the conyer.
SION and salvation Of sinners, and during re.
Vival OF religion in that place, preaching day
and night for some days, and it is TO be hoped
that the good seed then sown, which has 80 long
been buried in the earth. may yet spring up and
bring forth fruit to the honor and glory of God,
and shine as diadems in his crown Of rejoicing
at the great day. 1t was fifty-eight years ago
that DIR. Hoge commenced his labor3 in that
place, and there may be some IN that room who

verted, and others who arc gone To glory, and
which would cause him to rejoice Ia meet them |
there IN Heaven. Our venerable father vas zone |
to receive the rewards Of his labors and he hoped
we might all be led to follow lIs good example.
Tue discourse was listened TO by a large and
respectable congregation with much attention
