Vlll cessors. Before two years had passed, a deliglitful work of grace gathered many to bear witness that tlie tradi- tional character of this church, as a daughter of The great awakening," had not departed. Like Dr. Edwards, he always suffered for those in bonds as bound with them, was ready to appreciate whatsoever things are ])ure, lovely and of good report, and will ever be remembered for his genial, sunny interest in all about hini. While he was often recognized by the readers of the New Eng- lander by his "clear, earnest and comprehensive think- ing," his deepest interest was centered in Ids work as a minister, and for this he declined both a Professorship in the East, and the Presidency of one of our most thriving Northwestern Colleges. He was suddenly taken to the worship of the upper temple on the 26th of January, 186G. His last message to the Church was : " Be faithful to the end, to the end, to the end." The present pastor. Rev. Edward L. Clark, was in- stalled January 3, 1867. Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." ' New Haven, May 18, 1867.
