John Chandler Williams, Who Departed This Life, January 31, 1831 In concluding this brief survey, to adopt the language of his most intimate friend, 'the conduct as a Christian' of him whose loss we deplore, 'was exemplary and settled, even, calm, and active proving by a course of holy obedience the love he bore his Saviour; neither carried away with the wild vagaries and extravagances, which consider frames and feelings the sum of all religion, nor yet degrading the glorious Christian faith, by making works the meritorious, proof of his having a part in it; but taking the whole Word of God, as the pillar and ground of his faith, his confidence, and his duty, he never for a moment lost sight of the true panoply of the Christian, Jesus Christ and him crucified, Jesus taken by wicked hands and crucified and slain, Jesus dead and buried, Jesus risen again and ascended up into heaven, very God of very God; him he loved, him he served, he trusted in him, and, as we confidently believe, will not be disappointed Of his hope.' On the whole, therefore, brethren, we cannot refrain frompraising God in the comfortable persuasion that his removal has been ordered in mercy, and consummated in peace. The thought should prevail with all Of you to act the same part in life To the aged of your number, especially his old friends and acquaintance, let me present his blameless example as a powerful stimulus, if impenitent and unconverted, to seek the Lord while he may be found, and to call upon him when he is near; if already penitent and believing, to grow in grace as he grew, that so ye may be able, long as reason remains, to cherish the same bright presentiments of eternal life.
