where he generally took an active part ; on which occasions he was not known to be absent more than once for 40 years , and his loss will be felt by his friends at that place as a real affliction .

He had been for some years subject to that painful disorder , the gravel , which increased upon him toward
the latter part of life , and his death was brought on at last by water in the chest . Although he had to struggle with excessive pain , having enjoyed a vigorous constitution , under the breaking up of nature he was often heard to say , " I have to
thank the Almighty for a long and health * ful life ; I am quite resigned to his will and ready to depart . " As he had lived usefully he died happily , and in him was exemplified and to him may be applied the words , Mark the perfect man , and behold the upright ; for the end of that tnan U
peace . Having by industry and application to business realized a considerable property , by his last will he made a kind distribution of it amongst his relations and friends . He had , a short time before his death , given £ 50 towards the erection of a new chapel at Headcorn , and J 100 towards a house for the use of the minister at that
place . He also gave £ 50 in aid of building a new chapel in Cranbrook ; and by his will , amongst other bequests , he gave £ 250 to the Headcorn Society to be vested for ever ^ . £ 5 0 for the further liquidation of the debt on the chapel at
Cranbrook ; £ 50 to the General Baptist Fund for the Relief of Poor , and Aged Ministers ; £ b 0 to the Fund for Ministers ' widows of the same denomination , and £ 30 to the General Baptist Education Fund .

father . At the expiration of the term of his "apprenticeship about last Easter , he came to visit his mother at Rochdale , with the design of commencing business as soon as his health , which was then in an unfavourable state , should permit * But soon , the symptoms 6 f that disease appeared which has laid him among the dead .

recover , he expressed an earnest wish that he might speedily be enabled to enter upon those exertions which he hoped would place him in a situation to be useful to his family . But when it became manifest to him that he had not

into the chambers of death , without any expression or appearance of regret , he meekly bowed , to the will of God , and addressed himself to the great business of preparing for the solemn event immediately before him .
During hia apprenticeship he was m the habit of attending with his master on what is commonly called orthodox preachr ing .
