DIED,
On the 4th inst. at his seat in Granville, N. C. in the 69th year of his age, the Rev. LEWIS TAYLOR, sen'r. The disease which terminated the mortal life of this great and good man, was lingering and painful, but he sustained it (aided by heavenly strength) with almost unequaled fortitude, patience and christian resignation.
The friend whose loss we now mourn, after a painful conviction and a thorough repentance for sin, was happily converted to the Lord, and embraced the religion of Jesus Christ in the 24th year of his age ; and shortly after, became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
For the space of two score and four years he was a preacher of the Gospel ; and in public and in private, by precept and example, with unblemished character, zealously supported the pure doctrines of the church of which he was a member.
It is almost superfluous to mention that he was a man of extensive reading, in possession of a large fund of useful knowledge, and deep devotion.
He lived to see at least four of his children happily converted and members of the church, with himself, one of whom has been a popular preacher near twenty years. Also some of his grand-children he lived to see brought home to God—and no doubt died praying that all his posterity might share in equal heavenly bliss. He has left a widow to mourn the loss of a kind husband, and children to lament the death of an affectionate father. And we all regret the loss of him who was a friend to the poor, whose hand was always ready to wipe the trembling tear from the widow's eye and cause her heart to sing for joy, and who was a good and useful citizen. He died in the arms of Jesus, with his soul feasting on the immortal food of the Gospel. How unlike the death of infidels !
Truly he lived the life, and died the death of the righteous.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright ; for the end of that man is peace.
Reader, behold how the christian lives, and learn by example how he dies !
While his happy soul, wash'd white in the blood of Jesus, now basks in the unsullied beams of heaven, and drinks the defying streams above, let us with equal and constant steps follow on.
