      tervrtre humility and an ardent desire to kuow , to obey and to extend the influence of the truth as it is in Jesus * A regular attendance upon public worship she deemed not only an imperious duty , but an inestimable privilege , and ber vacant seat in the house of prayer will long * remain a painful monument of her death to her former

      fellow worshipers and friends . She was a member of the Stain forth Unitarian Chinch , and her remains were deposited in the burial-ground belonging to that society . And as hers was the first funeral that had taken place at Stain forth , a great number of people of all denomination !* were assembled on the occasion . But

      with whatever feelings of curiosity many might be led to attend , it was peculiarly pleasing to observe the seriousness of their department , and the interest they manifested in what they saw and heard . Scarcely lialf the persons present were enabled to join in that part of the service that was conducted in the chapel ; but the address

      delivered at the grave ^ was heard with the deepest attention by the whole assembly . A funeral sermon was preached on occasion of her death , the following Sunday , to a numerous and much affected auditory , from 1 Cor . xv . 57 : " Thanks be to God , who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ . "

      The removal of such a person as Elizabeth Abdy , from the infant Unitarian church at Stainfortb , and especially from her numerous family , will long be painfully felt by her former fellow-worshipers and friends . Both the latter and the

      former , however , will be best enabled to support her loss , by endeavouring to imitate the excellencies of her character . May

      her virtues , therefore , be firmly engraven upon tbeir memories , and reflected in their conduct * J . G .

      April 24 , at Ckatkam ^ aged 33 , Mrs . Sauah Cuwdill , wife of John Cundill , Unitarian Baptist minister . In attempting to give a sketch of her character , it may suffice to say , that she was respected by all her acquaintances , and dear to those with whom she was intimate . Her naturally placid and affectionate temper , was

      improved by religious impressions to an easy conformity with every thing endearing and becoming in the domestic and social circle , She was bred up among the Methodists , but never could be persuaded to join the society , because she did not possess those feelings upon which they lay so much stress . She thought conversion meant a

      turning from evil to good , and that serious and pious people , who believed in Jesus as the Christ , were the subjects of gospel salvation . Hence , when she heard the doctrines of Unitarianism explained , ehe readily embraced them ; and became

      extremely attached to the ministry of Mr . Heinikin , the Unitarian minister at Gainsborough , where she then resided : in these principles she afterwards lived , and in these she died , full of comfort and confidence in a merciful and gracious God , whose love was attested bv Jesus Christ .

      She fell a victim to maternal affection . Anxiety and grief for an only child , whose life was considered in danger , brought on a premature delivery , at the end of seven months' advance in a state of pregnancy , and in the end terminated her life .
