day cunning or fishing. 1t had beer
his heart-Work, to which he had giveI
all his energy aud time, to preach
Christ and Him crucifed. 1t nov
seemed to be Gods will shat be shoulC
retire, and while it was painful to bl
no longer permitted to take an active
part with the brethren, he would
endeavor to endure his retirement
with the patience that God wonlC
give him. His remarks were deeply
affecting, and many eyes were filled
with tears to witness the NANTES

affection to retire from the scene o.
active conflict.
