caiidour mjudg-ingfof Qtlfers ^ iii his love and trust in God , in his ^ kindness to all who had any connexion with him * in his careful discharge of-all the duties of his situation 'in-life , and in the humility and meekness of his disposition , he has left us an example well worthy of our imitation . In early life he was a member of the New Connexion of CireneraLBa ^^^
by his zealous efforts to do good , especially in the Sunday School , at Loughborough . His examination ofthe Scriptures having led him to a belief in Unitarian Christianity , he left the General Baptists , and joined the Unitarian , congregation . He always remained willing to acknowledge and assist in every'gobtl work , by whomsoever - it "was carried on . For the last thirty years , he was the superintendent of the mill for
spinning worsted belonging to Mr . Paget , and by his fidelity and attention to the interests of his master , and his kindness to the workpeople under his charge , he acquired the confidence , esteem , and love of all parties . During his management of the mill , riot "an oath or bad word was to be * heard in' it ; and this was effected without any severity , by his gentle" authority , and by the prevailing ^ influence of . his excellent example and his constant attention to the
comfort of those-under his care ; in consequence of which he was universally beloved by them . For some time his health had been very precarious , and he at last departed from this life , after a very severe illness of about six weeks , which he sustained with exemplary patience , supported by his unhesitating conviction that all the appointments of our Heavenly Father are for the best , and by his trust in the goodness of God , as revealed by our Lord Jesus Christ .
