82 Life of The 



In all his tastes and habits, he was simple. Enterprising 

 and perservering, he was diligently employed in advancing the 

 interests of the Church of which he was a bright ornament, and 

 in beautifying and adorning our city, by the erection of Schools, 

 and Colleges, and Cathedrals. He was an enthusiastic friend 

 of education, and proved his devotion, by contributing his own

 disarmed opposers, and converted them into warm and devoted 

 friends. 



Such a man's departure to another sphere, is a great 

 calamity. Who can supply his place? Who can in so short a 

 sojourn in a land of strangers, again make so many true and 

 sincere friends? 



But he is gone — gone to his great reward. Peace to his 

 ashes. Honour to his memory ! 



But who will break the tidings to that aged father, whose 

 hoary locks have long been ripening for the grave? Who shall 

 comfort that bereaved sister, and that afflicted brother? Alas! 

 our pen is arrested. — Our hearts are full. *****
