Subscriptions and Donations in aid of this Society will be thankfully
received at the Baptist Mission House, No. 6, Fen Court, Fenchurch
Street, London: or by any of the Ministers and Friends whose names are
inserted in the Cover of the Annual Report.
With feelings of deep sorrow we have to announce the decease
of the excellent Treasurer of this Society, JOHN BROADLEY
WILSON, Esq., which took place, after a very short illness, at
his house on Clapham Common, Monday evening, the 16th instant.
His disease was palsy, rendering respiration difficult, and
considerably affecting the organs of speech, but leaving his
mental faculties in full vigour to the last. He died,
rejoicing in the Saviour, whom he had long loved, and whose
example, through divine grace, he had been enabled so
eminently to follow. Never, perhaps, was there an individual
of whom it might more justly be said, _When the ear heard him,
then it blessed him; and when the eye saw him, it gave witness
to him: because he delivered the poor that cried, and the
fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of
him that was ready to perish came upon him; and he caused the
widow's heart to sing for joy. He was eyes to the blind, and
feet was he to the lame: he was a father to the poor, and the
cause that he knew not he searched out._
"AND I HEARD A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAYING UNTO ME, WRITE, BLESSED
ARE THE DEAD WHICH DIE IN THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH: YEA, SAITH
THE SPIRIT, THAT THEY MAY REST FROM THEIR LABOURS; AND THEIR
WORKS DO FOLLOW THEM."
JAMAICA.
