following year, he printed the " Hampstead Chapel Psalmody," 

 prepared by his brother, Dr. W. B. Carpenter ; and he himself 

 edited and printed " Tunes for the Christian Church and 

 Home," for the use of congregations employing Dr. Martineau's 

 Hymn-book and his own Selections from the Psalms, etc. He 

 acknowledges in his preface the kindness of " authors and pro- 

 prietors who have allowed him the use of most valuable tunes. 

 . . . He also wishes to express his deep veneration for the 

 memory of the late Rev. S. C. Fripp, B.A. [see p. 7], the 

 friend of Latrobe, under the guidance of whose exquisite taste 

 the organ of Lewins Mead Chapel, Bristol, was wont not so 

 much to play the tunes, as to utter forth the very hymns the 

 congregation were singing. Whatever is good in the editing of 

 this Collection is due to his influence." 



These twelve years of Philip's life were those perhaps in 

 which he seemed to accomplish the most. He had earned a 

 high reputation as a practical philanthropist and as a man of 

 science. He had helped to save many lives, and to elevate 

 hundreds more. Thousands owed to him the brightness of 

 many happy hours, and he was not devoid of mirth and sport- 

 iveness. But underlying all, there was the sadness of sacrifice. 

 The strength of his affections measured the intensity of their 

 frequent disappointments ; while his ideal of holiness rarely 

 allowed him peace of conscience, — his was " hard doctrine," 

 which few could bear. He also suffered the natural penalty 

 of an overstrain of his powers. Whilst at Stand the bracing 

 atmosphere rendered life a delight, he never ceased to feel the 

 depressing influence of Warrington. " The first fresh joy of 

 a Christian life, and the unchilled warm burst of youthful 

 hope," had departed ; but he was sadly and humbly reaching 

 onwards towards Christian perfection. 



perance words ; but Philip smiled and replied that he knew that they 

 would not be acceptable to that Christmas party, and asked to be excused 

 from lending the glee. When Philip met Mr. H., a few weeks after, 

 he said, " After you left me, I could not rest to think that I had in my 

 house something that I could not lend to a friend. I went to my music 

 and turned it over, till I found the glee. I then went to the fire and 

 burned it."
