    who have spoken unto you the word of God j whose faith follow ; considering the end of their conversation . ]— " And you well know that his cares , his influence , his usefulness , and his esteem , were not confined to this congregation , but reached to persons and societies in the neighbourhood , and even to a

    great distance . In a word , a person of his years , so wise , so useful , so highly esteemed , so universally lamented , I never knew , and I believe has seldom been known . < c That his years were so few—that he was cut off in the prime of his life and usefulness , and in such an awful mannerare to us matter of unfeigned and bitter lamentation . Bat let us be silent , considering that God hath done it /* The manner of his death was peculiarly affecting- As he was going on a Lord ' s-day morning to preach at Oldbury , a village six

A number of Mr . Orton ' s letters to him on these subjects were happily preserved , and have lately been published , in a collection of " Letters from Mr . Orton to Dissentin g Ministers and

    Students , " edited by Mr . Palmer . These letters , addressed to Mr . Clark will serve to give the reader a more complete idea of his character . Among Mr . Clark ' s particular friends was the Rev . Mr . Joseph Grigg , who possessed remarkably popular talents , but had no pastoral charge . He resided at St . Alban ' s , and was kind in assisting his brethren . Several of his pieces , in prose and verse , are inserted in Mr . Harrison's Miscellanies , among which are the following lines , addressed—
