Episcopal Church, and amid all the vicissitudes of life, he maintained his
integrity. His last illness was painful, but he bore it with christian
fortitude; he knew that God was thus loosening the ropes, and taking up the
stakes of his earthly tabernacle, in order to his removal an eternal home.
His friends have to mourn over this work of the Destroyer, but they may not
"mourn as those without hope."
His fight is fought, his faith has reached the end, firm to Heaven's his
glance, his heart ascend, There with the judge he saw his crown remain, and
if to live was Christ, to die was gain.
