Died, on Monday evening, the 16th Feb., at his house on Clapham Common,
aged 70, John Broadley Wilson, Esq. well known and universally esteemed
as an eminently devout Christian, and most liberal supporter of the
cause of the Christian religion in every section of the church. His
illness was of very short duration; an attack of paralysis on Saturday,
the 14th, the effects of which no medical skill was permitted to remove,
being the appointed messenger to convey him into the presence of the
Saviour he ardently loved, and in whose service it was his supreme
delight to spend and be spent. Mr. Wilson was connected, more or less,
with a great number of religious and charitable institutions; to the
Religious Tract Society, and the Baptist Missionary Society, he stood in
the relation of Treasurer, and each of these valuable Societies will
have to mourn, not merely the loss of his munificent donations, but also
of his judicious counsels and holy example. We trust some authentic
account of this eminent philanthropist will be prepared, to edify the
world which has sustained so great a loss by his removal; but we could
not forbear inserting this hasty tribute of immediate respect to the
memory of a man, whom to know was to love, venerate, and admire.
REV. JOHN MASON.
At Exeter, on January 20th, after a protracted and painful illness of
twelve months' duration, the Rev. John Mason, for 17 years the beloved
and eminently devoted and useful pastor of the Baptist church in
Bartholomew-yard, in that city. His removal is felt throughout Exeter as
a public calamity. He died at the age of 45. We hope to be able to
furnish our readers with a memoir of this excellent servant of Christ.
MRS. ANN CARROLL.
Died on Thursday, Jan. 29th, in the 79th year of her age, at her
residence, Baalzephon-street, Long-lane, Bermondsey, Mrs. Ann Carroll,
after a protracted illness in which her exemplary piety and sterling
faith proved the efficacy of those doctrines of which, during a long
life, she had been the consistent and humble believer. Her remains were
interred in the family vault of St. John's, Southwark: and it may,
indeed, with truth be said, that in her the poor have lost a humane and
benevolent friend; the Baptist denomination, a consistent member; and
the various Christian charities of the metropolis, a worthy and generous
benefactor.
