THIS was one who never professed publicly the name of the Saviour, although he evidently professed by his saintly life and conversation in the world from day to day, that he had undergone a saving change for eternity. He did not receive strength to witness publicly but nevertheless he was more careful than many who do so. Gifted with a very sweet voice he was most acceptable as a precentor, and frequently led the praises of Zion. We believe that he is now singing in glory in the better country. It was visible to all that his heart was gained for the things of Heaven in opposition to those of the world, as he lived a heavenly life on earth for all to witness. While very weak and humble, he was upright in his conduct, and wished to be strictly just in his dealings with his fellows, as he abhorred crooked ways. He lived to the advanced age of 88. Latterly he suffered from weakness and difficulty in breathing, but bore his illness with Christian fortitude and resignation. He had no pain but faded gradually away. He left a sweet savour of Christ to his family, to whom we express our deepest sympathy.—D. MacA.
