telling them, he wished they might have the same support he felt, when they should be placed in circumstances similar to his. On an occasion of bodily infirmity, he very feelingly said, "The righteousness of Christ will soon cover all our shame." He continued in a state of extreme debility and suffering for many days, waiting his departure in a condition of child-like dependance on the mercy and faithfulness of his heavenly Father, reconciled to him, a guilty sinner, through the atonement of his blessed Saviour. He longed to depart, and be with Jesus; and would sometimes ask if it was wrong to pray for this blessing, hoping he might not be impatient or presumptuous. On his last sabbath on earth, his medical friend, having felt his pulse, said to him, "Well, Sir, I think you will soon be where there will be no more pain and suffering." He replied, "Not on account of anything of my own; it is purchased by the blood of Christ." Soon after this, through weakness, his articulation became indistinct, and dissolution appeared hourly approaching. He lingered, however, till the following Thursday morning, under the influence of much bodily anguish, but having his mind calm--often apparently quite happy--as he passed along the dark valley. It seemed as though a beam of heaven's glory illuminated his path, to assure his soul of her coming bliss. He had bid adieu to his affectionate relatives once before, deeming himself in the last struggle; but again, on the last morning, the mourning family were assembled around his bed, witnesses of his bodily distress; and to receive, more by expressive looks than by words, his final adieu. He faintly said, "Pray for me; pray for the presence of Jesus." Afterwards, with more distinctness than he had spoken for several days, he added; "Oh, blessed Jesus! _once more_, I implore thy love." One of his sisters remarked, "You will soon _rest_ in his love," quoting an appropriate promise; to which he rejoined, expressively, "That is no mere speculation." He said no more, but apparently listened to that verse, commencing-- "Jesus, I love thy charming name," and in a few minutes closed his eyes on all terrestrial scenes. He died on the 18th of December, 1834, at his father's house, at Plaistow, Essex, aged twenty-seven years. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. FOREIGN.
