In the first Number of our work we had to record the death of the venerable Swartz. We are now called to perform the same melancholy office for his worthy successor in his truly apostolical labours for the salvation of the Heatlien. The account will be no more than a transcript of that which has been pub. lished by the venerable Society in Bartlett's buildings, in their late annual report.

On the 2nd of Oct 1803. the Rev. C. W. GERICKE departed this life at Vellore, whence he was proceeding to Cuddalore, to re-establish the Mission at that place. Soon after his return from his most remarkable journey to the southern countries, the great success of which, in the awakening of several thousand Heathens to embrace the religion of Jesus Christ, has already been mentioned, his health was attacked by a fever, of which he recovered, but his increasing and incessant labours did not permit him to enjoy that rest, which his age of 61 years, and a weak frame of body, required. He was taken with a disorder in the bowels, which he thought might be removed by change of air; but, returning from Rahacot tab to Vallore, his disorder increased to that degree, that he was unable to proceed. Thus ended the laborious and pious life of this faithful servant of Christ, after he had served him in India 38 years, with 'a zeal and sincer

ity, which was exemplary to the public, and edifying to thousands, amongst Europeans and Natives, of all ranks and situations. The co sternation and grief amongst all classes, a the death of so valuable a man, was beyond description. His soft, mild, meek, and hum ble character, had made him beloved by persons of distinguished stations, and by every one. His conversation was every where agree able and instructive, as his long experience and attentive observations furnish him with important materials to entertain the company, wherever he happened to be visiting. He spake with so much circumspection and wisdom, on religious and moral matters, on literature and political subjects, that all who beard him were pleased; and even such as differed from him in matters of religion, had a respect for his exemplary character, and revered his Christian virtues; insomuch that many called him the primitive Christian. His public spirit was always active, and he took a great parti any institution for the common benefit Though the propagation of the Christian Re ligion was his chief object, and occupied hi mind in preference to all other objects, he p proved and encouraged, as much as he could the culture of sciences, in those with whom he was connected; and he even paid a month. ly salary to an honest and skilful Bramin, for the benefit of Indian literature. In offering

and rendering good services, he took very great pleasure, and he never declined any, which he found himself able to perform, even though attended with great difficulties Mamy addressed themselves to him, in their urgencies, and requested his oral, or written, recommendation, mediation, or assistance; which had often cost him much time, great exertions, and not seldom considerable expenses, and loss of money, besides his vast and expen. sive correspondence. His charity was bound. less. Though the various concerns, which were entrusted to him, as a man on whose ecnscientiousness and exactness all could rely, and some generous rewards for his good offices, might have made him rich, he observed the utmost frugality, that he might have to give to the needy. To go into a detail, or to mention only the various branches of his abounding charity, were impossible; many of which had come to be disclosed only by accident. Many widows and orphans, helpless, afflicted, and oppressed, bewail, with flowing tears, the loss of their benefactor, father, guardian, advocate, defender, and comforter. To his brethren, he was the most tender friend and brother, never assuming as a seignior, but always the first and most ready to take upon himself the heaviest burdens, to alleviate, and comfort, and assist his Brethren. He was indeed a shining light, whose gentle rays enlightened, warmed, and enlivened. His counsels, and advices, were maturely premeditated, and he never insisted upon his own opinions, nor was in the least offensive, in his paternal admonitions on errors, but rather indulgent, silent, and patient, when the common cause was not materially injured. He never complained of personal offences, and when his conscience and duty urged him to complain, in order to avert imminent dangers, he did it with the utmost reluctance, and the most affecting anxiety, for his tender heart was full of love towards his neighbour.

DEATHS.

Nov. 36. At Bath, aged eighty-two the Rev. Dr. Archibald Maclaine, forty-eight years Minister of the English Church at the Hague. His funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Gardiner, of Bath, who stated many particulars, which strongly indicated the truly christian frame of mind in which this venerable minister of the Gospel departed this life. Dr. Gardiner observed, as we have been told, that in retiring to his bed, Dr. Maclaine thanked God, that while the Heathens, naming Socrates in particular, were so much in the dark about their future state, he who had been a grievous sinner, bad through the mercy of God, Such a blessed hope, and added, “I know in whom I have believed." Dr. Gardiner represented the Doctor to come as a penitent sinner to the throne of grace, leaning only on the cross of Christ, filled with gratitude to God: hat Christ Jesus and eternal salvation were is constant theme, and that he was filled with

the hope of glory. His last words to his friends were," Weep not for me, O ye of little faith."
