accepted Christ on his death-bed as his Sav- 

 ior. He sent for me, and told me about 

 his change of heart. I then pilead with him 

 to give me something before he died, for 

 publication in the paper of which he was 

 editor. He said he was too weak then, but 

 would give something later. But I felt so 

 sure he never would that I begged him to 

 permit me to make public through his own 

 paper his repudiation of infidelity and ac- 

 ceptance of Christ as the Son of God and 

 the Savior of mankind. He was not willing 

 to do this; I plead with him till he cried so 

 sehemently his wife and daughters inter- 

 posed, and declared I must not prolong my 

 visit. He was willing to say to his friends 

 that he had renounced his skepticism and 

 had become a Christian; but he could not 

 consent to come out in the paper he had 

 been editing so many years, and tell of his 

 new birth. At his funeral, when the cler- 

 gyman announced in his sermon that Mr. 

 G. accepted Christ before he died, a man at 

 ray elbow said, "That is a lie." After the 

 sermon I remonstrated with him, and he 

 said something like this: " I can not believe, 

 from what I know of Mr. G., that he ever 

 accepted Christ as the Son of God — surely 

 not when he was in his right senses." 



Note the contrast. Mr. Whitcomb says if 

 he can not edit a newspaper successfully, 

 and put his Christianity into that paper, he 

 will let the newspaper go and every thing 

 else, "all for God." Now, then, will the 

 Christian people stand by him in his new 

 departure, and see that his paper. The 

 Friend Telegraph, is a success.
