For some twelve years he had been laid aside
from the active duties of the ministry, and was a
great sufferer from aSthmatic affection. During
this period he was confined to his house most OF
the time, and was seldom able to attend the wOr-
ship OF the sanctuary, and never able to take an
active part In Its exercises. his Sutterngs through
this long period were Often dlStressingly severe,
seldom able to rest except at intervals through the
night. But grace was given him, not only to la
Dor, but to suffer for Christ He was in his
60 year.
Brother NcAlster was an earnest and devote ed
minister His preaching was practical aud pointed,
aud his zeal according to knowledge. His irsl
ministerial abors were in E,erettsvtlle, where he
taug ht school and preached. He then preached

DR. Guthries Advice-Now and then few
wseacres are permitted in certain quarters to ex
hibit at once their animus, aud their nonsense by
sneoring at ministers of the gospel, especially city
pastors, who, with the hearty approval of their
people, take a season of rest, and recruit their
health and strength at some of the Springs or
elsewhere 1t is OF little use to waste words upon
such stupidity. Their folly is manifest unto all
men, as was that of "Jannes and Jambres, y
when they "wthstood Hoses Happening to
light upon the following in one of our newspapers,
it is extracted for the benefit of any to whom
either the ministerial or medical advice Of such a
man as DR.. Guthrie of Scotland may be useful.
"Whatever may be thought and said by the
narrow minded and captiOus, experience and OBJ
servation vindcate the wisdom Of an annual vaca-
ton for the ministry equally with others. With
characteristic sympathy aud vim, years ago the
Rev. DR.. Thomas Guthrie said to the writer: You

will prescribe for you: Never do you allow Sum
