pupils whose minds he had eritlghtenecl and whose hearts he had forntfed , or from hl § nunieroiis parishio&VS i who owed , to him their civljfeatidft
and welU being . This attachment , which never varied and \ vhich will long survive the pastor , appeared in an affecting manner at the ceremony of his funeral . iThe annals of Alsace
afford few examples of so imposing a solemnity as an , Immense concourse of the , inhabitants of the immediate neighbourhood and of the surrounding departments , all clad in mourning , goiftg in melancholy silence to
contemplate fpr the last time , the features of their benefactor , of theiry «^ r * whose body was inclosed in a glazed coffin which the delicate ingenuity of one of his parishioners had contrived for this purpose .
Witli the view of preserving the memory of this venerable pastor , a subscription has been opened in the country which he himself remodelled , for the foundation of a charity which
will bear the name of Oberlin ; and which , destined to provide for the moral and physical wants , of the inhabitants of Ban de la Roche , will perpetuate to future generations the influence of his kindness and the
example of his virtues . We trust confidently that not only the inhabitants of Alsace , so long witnesses of his zeal , but also many persons in foreign countries and the interior of France , to whom the name
of the pastor Oberlin , so often repeated , cannot be unknown , will wish to honour his memory by co-operating in this pious foundation , a living monument of his enlightened benevolence best suited to the sentiments
and character of this illustrious citizen . The subscriptions are received at Fouday , ( Ba ? i de I ® Roche , ) in the department of the Lower Rhine , by Legrand , and Son at Paris , Strasbourg , and London , by Treuttel and Wurtft . " „ ' i _ JL * _^_ _ . ___ _ . _ i . __ J _ : . i
