While waiting at the place assigned (or rendezvous in one of flic streets, a Christian friend, a lady, passed by and asked him where ho was going, lie was ashamed to conless his intention, and readily yielded to her invitation to go with in r to church. It was the turning point with him. lie was arrested by divine truth, was brought under a set.so of sin, became a Christian?a iailhful missionary, a devoted ayd exalted hero, an ; postle ol Christ ? and died a martyr on the isle of Krromango, a victim of heathen rage, but a sacrifice of loye to his Itedeamer.
