of the man's industry and the Christian's freedom from ostentatious
display.

Help each step upon the way,
Strength sufficient for the day,
All things easy in Thy might,
Work for thee a felt delight.

Courage, patience, grace supplied,
All things needful--at Thy side;
Such my happy lot will be,
Working, dearest Lord, with thee.

Agreeably with the spirit of our labor, we will take an impartial view
of our friend as a Christian, in the eyes of the world, and among
laymen generally. That he was no drone in the Christian hive, all the
world could see; that he was active and unusually laborious for Christ
and the Church, no one who follows the spirit of the sermon eulogizing
his memory, or who reads this work, can deny; as an Elder of the

among other items of care the temporal welfare and spiritual prosperity
of the various clergymen with whom he had labored.

In his demeanor he was never in a hurry to do to-day what he should
have done yesterday, because having no faith in procrastination, he
left nothing undone to-day to be p
