Ever ainee the dav of hia baptiam in Pebruary, 1810, and until within a few daya of hia death, he ateedily in aea- son and out of aeaaon, preaehed tbe word of God with foree and eonvietion He was the father of all Baptiat Ministers, aa there are none living now who eommeneed to labor for the Master as early aa he did. In all thia time, he has beeo a true leader in Is- rael, living up to the doetrinea and lea- sons that he tanght. Thouaanda have been eonvieted un¬ der his teachingB and bronght to a knowledga of our Lord and Saviour Jeaua Chriat, He has been married four times and I am his fonrth wife. Asahnabandhe was loviBg and kind, providing at all times the neeeasarlea and proper com- forta for the well-belng of hia family. By his former marriage, ha leavea three ehildien and a host of grand- ehildren, He was an agreeable neighbor and an upright, law abiding eitizen. He believed strictly in the Golden Rule and all his actiona were characterised by it. The eommunity will mias him, hia ehureh will miss him, ard lastly but not leaat, I shall miss him. I know that I shall meet him in heaven above about whieh he has preaehed sa long and often I know that there will be no sorrow, neither parting, aad that God shall wipe away every tear.

John Jaaper waa interested in the tlT.lra of atate. ile often prajed for (iovernora, Preaidenta. acd rulera in thiB ard other ooontriea.

They often viaited hia ehureh, not to eritieiae, but to hear him preaoh. beeauae they really enjoyed hia atyle ard manner of preaeating the wo.d of God. One of our Northern jnurnala made a very unfavorable eritieiam on Rev Jaaper aeme time ago. But one of oar Soothern white papera eame to hia reaeue.

He believed in putting the truth ao it eould be eaaily reaehed and plainly underatood. He waa alwaya more in¬ terested in the thought and the deliv¬ ery of hia meaaage than he waa in the homiletical arrangement of hia aer* mon. Hia great aim in the pnlpit waa to preach that Binnera might be aaved from hell, and to eheer God'a wayworn aainta on their pilgrimage. John Jaaper waa a phitosopher. He waa a deep reaaoaer, and independent thinker. He waa a great warrior for hia Lord and Maater. By hia ordera, he engaged in many battlea and when the smokee and noiae had paaatd away. he waa found to be a oontinuona eoaqueror.
