RECENT DEATHS.
MRS. MARY MIDDLETON.
Died, on the 16th of April, in the eighty-fifth year of her age, Mary,
relict of the Rev. J. D. Middleton, the first pastor of the Baptist
church, Lewes, Sussex. For upwards of fifty years she honourably
sustained the Christian character, and "came to her grave in a full age,
like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season."

MR. NICHOLAS MEHL.
Died, on May 2nd, 1835, Mr. Nicholas Mehl, of Chiswick, a deacon of the
Baptist church at Hammersmith, in his 82nd year. He was a native of
Strasburg, in Germany, and left that country for England at the age of
19; was baptized by the Rev. J. Uppadine in the year 1806. He was one of
the warmest friends to the Baptist cause at Hammersmith, and his
unassuming simplicity of manners, purity of conduct, and marked
benevolence of character, made him beloved by all who knew him. It may,
with truth, be said, he devoted his time to the cause of God, paid much
attention to the poor, and in promoting their comfort seemed to find his
own happiness. May his aged widow, and the church with whom he has been
so long connected, trace his footsteps, and follow him as far as he
followed Christ. His remains were deposited in the vault beneath the
school-room, attached to the Baptist meeting-house, on Thursday, the 7th
of May, there to repose until the resurrection morn. The Rev. J.
Uppadine improved his removal the following Sabbath morning, from Rev.
vii. 14, to the end.
