    was eminently respected as a singularly upright unassuming gentleman , who in his business may be said to have carried the Bible to his counting-house in the highest as well as in its literal sense

    . To those who knew him bestand loved himhe will be remembered for his l-hearted benevolence and truly Christian ^ , zeal . In early , life he took great interest in the establishment arge

    of Sunday Schools , and devoted himself lovingly and sedulously to their superintendence until broken health obliged him a few years since to relinquish them to other hands . In his church
