"We hastened to his bedside," say his brethren, "found him panting for breath, and evidently sinking into the arms of death.

The physician immediately left him, and retired to rest.

We sat down, conversed, prayed, wept, and watched the progress of his dissolution, until, at precisely three o'clock on the Lord's day morning, October 23, 1825, the soul, which had been so long waiting for deliverance, was quietly released.

It rose, like its great Deliverer, very early on the first day of the week, triumphant over death, and entered, as we believe, on that Sabbath, of eternal rest, which remaineth for the people of God." His age was thirty-three.

As soon as the fact of his death became known, all the flags of the different consuls were seen at half-mast.
