Her general conduct was a beautiful illustration of the divine instructions of her Lord and Master ; her universal charity , her constant kindness and attentiou to the feelings of others , were strong proofs that she had imbibed the

      genuine spirit of the gospel . The nuaffected grief of those who shared her bounty declares that all the brethren and the poor do love her , and they who knew her intimately will long remember with gratitude and pleasure the scrupulous attention which she ever shewed to the comforts of those around her . Nor was the kindest feeling in her the result of weakness , for she was endowed with a very superior mind , and had acquired varied and extensive information . This

      Mr . James Whitehouse . 1831 . June 9 , at Coseley , in the 89 th year of his age , Mr . James Whitehouse , farmer . His life had been adorned from infancy to the close of his mortal existence with those virtuous traits which are the result of genuine principles , aud which constitute the Christian character —humility without meanness , benevolence without publicity , and regularity

      ou the means of grace , especially the Lord's Supper , without vain show or ostentation . In his last moments he was comfortably supported by past reflections , united with a steady faith in the gracious assurances of the gospel of Christ , and strongly evinced the efficacy of the Unitarian doctrines in shewing a readiness to depart , to be with Christ .
