His  death  occurring  at  the  age  of  fifty,  in  the  prime  of  manhood


WILLIAM    LEWIS.  (J55

and  recent  health,  in  the  full  tide  of  prosperity  and  usefulness,
caused  his  friends  to  regret,  in  a  worldly  view,  a  career  so  short.
His  life  was,  however,  exemplary  in  every  respect— full  of  Chris-
tian kindness;  his  heart  and  hand  were  open  to  comfort  and  to  o-ive,
on  all  proper  occasions ;  so  that  it  may  be  truly  said,  he  did  not
live  in  vain.
WILLIAM  LEWIS.
