 24 The following verses were added, and sung by way of conclusion :

See, a stranger comes to view ; Tho'he's black, he's comely too Comes to join the choirs above, Singing out redeeming love. Welcome, Negro, welcome here, Banish doubt, and banish fear, You, who Christ's salvation prove, Praise and bless redeeming love.

I concluded; with some remarks on the nature of salvation by grace, and exhorted all present to press forward in the heavenly race. It was as evening, the circumstances of which, if they had never been recorded on earth, were yet-doubtles registered in the book of remembrance above. In a few days the Negro was baptized ; and not long after he went oh a voyage with his master. Since that time I have not been able to hear any tidings of him: whether he yet wanders as a pil- grim in this lower world, for whether he has joined the heavenly choir in the song of redeeming love in glory, I know not. This I do know, he was monument to the Lord's praise. He bore the im- pression of the Saviour's image on his heart, and exhibited the marks of converting grace in his life and conversation with singular simplicity and un- feigned sincerity. O! give glory, to God.

FINIS.
