to the objet of finding them bread; he 
creéted and maintained fchools at his own 
expence for the education of all the young 
people employed about his extenfive works at 
New Lanark, of whom there were feveral 
shundreds, andemployed every means he could 
devife to- have them inftructed in religious 
knowledge. Mr. Dale was a Diffenter, and 
for many years one of the paftors of an Inde- 
pendent Congregation in Glafgow. In this 
charaéter he poffeffed the efteem, love, and 
affe€tion, not only of the flock over which 
he prefided, but of the clergy and people of 
every other denomination. In his converfa- 
tion and uniform praétice he gave a meritori- 
ous example of the powerful influence of the . 
Chriftian precepts, when men live under their 
influence, in leading them not only to at- 
tend with diligence to all the relative duties, 
making them good hufbands, fathers, and 
neighbours, but loyal and dutiful fubjeéts. 
Modeft and unafluming In his manners, he 
endeavoured to hide himfelf from public no- 
tice—-but “'a city fetjon an hill top cannot 
be hid ” His fellow-citizens, hailing him 
as a father, and anxious to extend his {phere 
of ufeful a€tion, fhewed their high efteem of 
this chasitable diffenter—charitable in the 
true fenfe of the word—by calling him into 
the Council of the City, and making him one 
of its magiftrates; an office which he dif- 
charged with fingular diligence and paternal 
folicitude. During many years of the latter 
part of his life he was coniulted on all im- 
portant occafions, not only on matters relat- 
ing to the public welfare of the city, but the 
private concerns of its cit'zens—-nor did he 
ever refufe his fervices, for he confidered not 
his life as his own, but as devoted to the 
welfare of his fellow-creatures. This is no ful. 
fome eulogium to the memory of this fingular 
man, whofe whole life was an uniform trani- 
cript of the pure Chriftian character. His © 
worth is deeply engraven in the hearts of all 
who knew his character, and his death is a 
real public calamity—an irretrievable lofs to 
his country.—-Mr, James Jackfon, | upwards
