ministry in 1826, and for more than half a century was one of the most active 
workers for the promotion of Methodism. Several years ago he was placed on the 
superannuated list, but he continued to labor as best he could to the very last 
for the Church he loved so well. In his prime the Doctor was famous as one of

he “folds the drapery of his couch about him and lays down to pleasant dreams.”
