Mr. Durell has given an account of his last visit to Jolin on the evening of this day. He chose the same subject to read to him as on the day before, but from another Evangelist. It was Luke xxiii., the account of our Saviour’s crucifixion. During the reading, Jolin’s sensibility was greatly excited, and his half-broken sobs were heard. Mr. Durell, thinking it proper to check this state of mind, pointed out the sufferings of Christ as a matter of holy joy, and threatened to lay down the book, and read no more, if Jolin continued to feel so much. Mr. Durell, wishing to avoid any thing which might discompose Jolin, carefully omitted making any comment on the most affecting part of our Saviour’s sufferings. He, on the other hand, sought to comfort him by an application of the promise, that “they who sow in tears, shall reap in joy;” and by the prospect of paradise held out to the penitent thief. He adds, in conclusion, “In the course of my profession, I have seen many individuals on the brink of the grave; but never before did I witness such coolness and such self-command—a scene so holy, so edifying, so sublime. Had he been in the full bloom of human prosperity, and with the prospect of adding half a century longer to his existence, he could not have been more collected. I was myself almost falling into a delusion contrary to the evidence of my own senses. I could not believe that one so near his end could retain so much courage, or such contempt of ignominy and death. I could not believe that one so gentle, and now so well instructed in religious duties, could have been ever capable of committing a crime for which he deserved to die—that he could have been a murderer.”
