 neighl)ors niet by his invitation in his parlors, to hear one 

 of his personal friends condnct the simplest of religious 

 Services. He stood in the dosest rehitions and singular 

 sympathy with the first pastor, Hex. Ricliard Metcalf, and 

 thns was secured the future of liberal christianity, and for 

 more than twenty years his time and wisdom have f)een 

 devoted to the cause ot the church. For twenty-one suc- 

 cessive years he was a meniber, and most of this time 

 chairnian, of the standing committee, and also Superintend- 

 ent or assistant Superintendent of the Sunday School ; 

 always ready to give a lifting band at the right time and 

 in the right place. The departure of such a man is a great 

 loss to any Community.
