A brighter dawn shall bless our raptur ed eyes , When from that sleep to life again we rise . For 'tis but sleep : the sleep will soon be o > r ,
And place us on a sleepless , deathless shore , Where endless pleasures to no guilt alfnr'd , Eternal Bliss by sorrow ne ' er obgctfr'd , Unchanging * spring * of purest lustre bright , Unfading day with no alternate night , Friendship ilioSt friie , and mix'd with no atloy , Ahd piir £ deTOtion , shall complete our joy .

Mir . Etfatdrd Taylor ' sArttiftht of the ttitS Mr . Winder , of Wuhmciu Sir , Norwich , Ana . 12 , 1817 . IT was with feelings of deep regret that I heard of the dearth of my excellent friend Mr . Winder ; and although my acquaintance with him was but of few TeaYs' standing , I feel
it a duty which I owe to the memory of so valuable a nian , to communicate to ihy tJriitarian brethren , through the * medium of the Repository , some account of such parts of his life and character as fell tinder ray observation . It is perhaps known to many of your readers , that the General Baptist Cfodrch here had bfeeti fbr niafty years in a very low state . To tins , the
conduct of two successive preachers haid veti ittuch contributed . Some rtidhths sifter Mr . Madge had been settled as the minister of the Octagon congregation in this city , he was conversing with me one Sunday evening * on the state of the General Baptist Church ^ a ^ rd as I did not know then even who was the minister , I prckrosfed to accompany
him to the ttieetibg . We heard A very jiidlcibus sferriitfn ftvtn the preacher , whose name I then le&ftteti t 6 be Winder . I'he impression made 6 n the ihihds of Mr .

Think not your meretricious wiles , Hold an irrvmortal in your snares $ Ifcehold the tomb—nor longer dare My steps with flatt e ring" lures to spread , Can ye ray tniud for that prepare—Or rank me with " th' illustrious dead ?"
Beyond that tomb my sabbath lies , In vain jour tempting toils are drest , Vain as the meteors of the skies ; I'll rest me in Immanuel ' s rest .
Then Mock ' ry cease thy wanton smiles , And earth With all thy gilded cares , Think not your meretricious wiles , Hold an immortal in your snares . ' C .

p *—upon Mr . Winder . They vrere both strangers to him even by naftie : at the first interview he was rather reserved . I met him soon after at my friend Mr . Newson ' s house , and we fell into conversation on religious subjects . I was struck with the Vigdur of his mind , hi £ actitetiesg , atid hi $ intimate acquaintance with the Scriptures . I
happened to mention Mr . Lindsey ' s interpretation of a passage ^ he replied he had never heard of any writer who had taken that view of it ; aad in the cowirse of our coravefsation , I found that he was quite ignorant , riot only of the writings , but even the names of the most celebrated Unitarian writers .
He heard of rriesttey , of JLindsey , of Befcsham , Of JLardner for the first tim& . Up to this period ,, as he afterwards said , " he had read no Unitarian book but the Biblew" He novr read trith great advantage attd delight some of * the writings of the Above-ttientidned aottthbrs , titilh which he Was chiefly supplied by Mr . Madge , frbni whose conversation , and that of Mr . Perry , he derived great instruction . Among some of his congregation he soon
became suspected ot heresy , and he was requested to deliver his senti < me > nts publicly on particular subjects , and those te * t& which fcre most commonly supposed to favour the Trinitarian atfiettfce \^ e *^ e dioaen for him .
