Yes, there it lay, comforting with the com.
fort of God, the soul of our dying friend.
But the 18th of April, 1889, came, the best
and happiest day of his life, as he said,
when, at the hands OF the Bishop OF the Dio-
oese, he was admitted into the communion
of the church, and, from myself, received
the tokens of his Saviour's love in the Lords
Supper. At his request, before the confirm.
tion, the beautiful hymn, "Just as am ~
was sung, and it was touching sight to see
and hear him go through it with clear and
feeling" voice. Now. dear friends, thank
God, from the ground of my heart, that ne
rescued my young friend from the darkness
of unbelief, and that he revealed His son in
him. I thank Him that He has given
US another proof that the simple Cos.
pel of Christ sig the power of God
unto salvation to every one that be.
lieveth." I thank Him for the peace
which was an astonshment to himself when
he said, "Can it be possible? Isit true that
I, SO unworthy, should feel that l have q
personal God as my friend and personal
Christ as my Saviour" Aud thank Him
that He heard my prayer for him when, for
q long time past, his name. with others,
went up for remembrance before my God
He did not know this. No man knew it
and would not mention it now were not
this occasion peculiar one and to me call
to speak for the good of those unto whom !
minister. Oh, that they would heed this
call and give their lives to Him who gave
Bis life for them. And now, friends, after
prayer you may take the body of the young
Judge away, for he has gone to stand before
the Great Judge, clothed, I humbly hope
and believe. ia the robe of his Redeemer's
righteousness, on which the eye of God him
self can look and see no stain.
