our eyes, when we were admiring the Grace of God that appeared in him. To himself, however, death was gain. He died like a good servant of his Lord, who found him engaged in his proper work. But our loss by his departure seems irreparable. We have lost a Father, and this is a loss which God can alone make up. May He graciously grant that we may not be wholly disappointed!

Early the following morning I attended the funeral of our late reverend Father, which was conducted with all the honours due to his blessed remains. It was a mournful and afflicting scene, indeed, which I have not witnessed since the death of the venerable Schwartz.

On the 9th of April I preached to the Tamul congregation, and exhorted the Christians to consider the late mournful event as a warning from God to repent, and to shew their gratitude to God by a holy life. After the Tamul service I attended Divine Service at St. John's, and heard the excellent sermon preached by the Rev. T. Robinson, in memory of our late Father. It impressed on our minds not only that esteem and veneration due to the memory of our late beloved Bishop, but awakened us also to endeavour that we may be approved of the Lord when he shall be pleased to call us away.

I am, with great respect,

Reverend Sir,

*

your very obedient humble servant,

J. C. KOHLhoff.
