“He began at once, ‘O my God, suffer me not to fall from thee: make my repentance sincere, and let my faith stand firm--O! accept me, unworthy! for the merits of Jesus Christ. I am wretched and miserable, let my soul be cleansed in his blood and presented spotless before thee; bless my dear wife and children, bless my dear father and mother, bless you (addressing himself to me,) and your family; and God make you a greater blessing than ever to the church, but don’t waste your life in this country, go home and do good among the poor. O God! bless all the doctors who have attended me, and let them not forget their own mortality amidst these scenes;’ adding prayers for such generally as he might at any time have had disagreement with.

About eleven, seeing him restless, and less of consciousness about him, I asked him if he knew me, he said, ‘Yes;’ and in answer to my question, ‘If I should pray for him?’ he said, ‘Yes;’ but there was no respond to the few petitions I offered up, and he was no longer sensible. At half-past one, another discharge of blood took place, which led us to think him expiring; but the spirit lingered till half-past two, when, we doubt not, he entered into his much-desired rest. I may tell you, though I mean to send a medical statement of the fact, that the three doctors ascertained after his death, that the liver was perfectly sound, but the colon had become ulcerated; and at length, a blood-vessel being eaten through, the discharge
