With the declining year his health declined, but his speedy removal was not anticipated till within two days of his disease, and then it took place very suddenly. Those of his children who were hastily summoned to witness the last conflict, found death disarmed of his terrors, and amidst the agitation and affliction occasioned by a conviction that a final separation in this world had taken place, they felt as if treading on hallowed ground.

"For if we believe that Jes died and rose again, even so them als which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." in his 82nd year, sincerely lamente! great service in his day to the reading CORRESPONDENCE. In this our final notice to Correspondents, we have to acknowledge t receipt of communications, which for various reasons have not been used, frem Messrs Ashdowne; J. C. Meaus; and Discipulus; on the subject of Baptism. Philalethes' paper is left for him at the publishers'. We wish the poetic merit had equalled the piety of J. E.'s "Lines.” The racket from our much respected correspondent G. A. of Ireland, did not come to hand till our two numbers for November and December were made up and nearly worked off. Guillaume will see that we have anticipated his wish in the present Number. Should any communications be hereafter addressed to the Editor, they will – a matter of course be forwarded, unless otherwise directed, to the Conductor of the New Series.
