able to the candour of the speaker, as it was to the character of my departed brother. A Pædo-baptist minister in Scotland, at a numerous assembly convened at Glasgow, for the sake of forming a Society in aid of the Baptist Mission, in the beginning of last October, expressed a wish, with which the universal feeling of all present seemed to be in unison: "Would to God that every brahman in India was altogether such a man as Brother Fuller or Brother Carey!" Nor did Dr. Balfour, Mr. Wardlaw, and Mr. Chalmers, appear less disposed to testify their respect to our late invaluable Secretary than Mr. Greville Ewing. . As Dr. Stuart, who drew up the sketch of Mr. Fuller's life inserted in the Christian Herald, and copied by Mr. M. has assured me, that he gave no offence by adding to it the following extract, which I had sent him, from a letter I received soon after Mr. Fuller's death, I need not scruple to insert it myself."But all this time, (said Mr. Wilberforce,) I have been thinking of our departed friend, for ours not yours I must term him; at least it will go ill with me, and with any one who does not belong to that blessed society to which he belongs. There is a part of his

work, The Gospel it's own Witness, which is enough to warm the coldest heart."

I conclude this preface with the entry on the minutes of the Committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society, dated May 22. 1815. "This Committee learn with deep regret the decease of the late Rev. Andrew Fuller, Secretary to the Baptist Missionary Society, and impressed with a sense of the valuable services rendered by that excellent individual, in promoting the translation and publication of the sacred scriptures in the East, desire to unite their condolence on this afflictive event with those of their Baptist brethren to whom he was more particularly allied, and of the Christian world, by whom his memory will deserve to be held in affectionate and grateful veneration."

To this testimony of the most respectable Christian Senator in the British Parliament, and the most respectable Christian Society in the world, I add nothing but my fervent prayers, for his surviving widow, and all his children and family; that his God may be their God, guardian, guide, and portion for ever. Amen!
