THIS man had reached a ripe, old age before he was struck down. He was able to attend the public means of grace until shortly before the end. At communion times it was his practice to walk from Lingerbay to Finsbay, a distance of three miles, in time for the morning prayer meeting, giving an example to younger people. He never remained long in prayer publicly, but was fervent and humble in his petitions to Heaven. He was elected to office as a deacon, and performed the duties of his office well. We believe he is now in the Church above, with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob the heirs of the same promise. He was sustained by Christian cheerfulness in the midst of pain.—D. J. McA.
