enjoyed, and was a welcome guest at the richest banquets of intellect, such as Sages admire and love, he could also descend to a participation of the sportive and innocent Recreations of a child. As a Husband and as a Father, he was tender, affectionate and exemplary; as a Friend, he was faithful and sincere; as a Companion, he was courteous and cheerful; as a Man, he walked humbly with his God.* He made some publications in England, but we have only seen a probation Sermon, preached Jan. 12, 1783, for the Lectureship, before mentioned. THE REV. JOSEPH WHITE, A. M. Mr. White was a native of Virginia, and a graduate of Princeton College. He was Ordained by Bishop White, of Pennsylvania, Deacon, July 25, and Priest, July 27, 1788. He came to Carolina the same year, and officiated until the succeeding spring at St. John's, Berkley ; when he was elected Rector of Prince George, Winyaw, which he resigned in 1790. He was a Gentleman of a liberal education, of a most benevolent Heart, an engaging Deportment, and friendly disposition. To add to his income, and as a mark of their regard for his many excellent qualities, the Vestry allowed him to take charge of a small congregation at Black-Mingo, a few miles from George-Town, to whom he preached monthly, and * A Monument will shortly be erected to his memory in the Church at Georgetown, of which the following will be the iuscription: Sacrum Memoriæ from whom he received an additional salary of £100 per ann. To this charge he directed much of his time and attention. From some cause, and with which, from the lapse of years that has intervened, we are unacquainted, he was induced to relinquish these situations, and to remove elsewhere. He died afterwards in Charleston, in the 39th year of his age, and was buried in the Cemetery of St. Philip's Church. THE REV. WILLIAM JONES, A. M. Mr. Jones was born at Ely, Cambridgeshire, Eng. and was the second son of the late Rev. Thomas Jones, Rector of Prince George, Winyaw. He was seut early in life to Westminster School, where he attained considerable reputation for his acquirements in Classical literature, and from thence was admitted a member of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he remained until he had taken his degree, fully sustaining, during the whole course of his Collegiate Studies, that celebrity which had accompanied him from Westminster. He received the prize of 50 Guineas, as Wrangler, and soon after entered into Orders. He was Ordained Priest, June 6, 1785, by Dr. Hinchliffe, Bishop of Peterborough. For several years he served the Curacy of Downham; but he resigned in 1794, that he might visit the Land which held in its Bosom, the ashes of his Father. To this step he was furthermore induced, by the impulse of those feelings that belong to a dutiful son, and an affectionate Brother, and having resolved to become as a Husband to his widowed Mother, and as a Father to her Orphans, he bid adieu to the scenes of his childhood, and to the companions of his youth, and landed at Charleston, So. Ca. in March 1794. As soon as his arrival was known, the friends of his late lamented and honoured father flocked around him; among the foremost of whom was the Rev. Dr. Purcell, who repeated to him all those marks of Benevolence and Hospitality that characterized that worthy man. In the late Rev. Mr. Frost, sen. then Assistant Minister of St. Philip's Church, he also recognised an old cotemporary College Companion, with whom he reciprocated in all that luxury of feeling that flows from an early, firm and virtuous association. Their meeting, after so long a separation, was a pledge of their future union. They became from that moment unalterable and inseparable friends, "His amor unus erat." By these Gentlemen he was invited to preach at the Churches of St. Philip and St. Michael, and by many of the members of each of these congregations, the Discourses he then delivered were not soon forgotten. When he visited Georgetown, a flow of heart was manifested towards him that soon resolved itself into his election to the Charge recently occupied by his respected father. At that time the Episcopal Church of that place, sat clothed in the robes of Sadness; no Watchman was then heard to sound the alarm from that portion of the Battlements of Zion; she remembered him who slept the sleep of death within her walls. At such a juncture, and under such circumstances, the appointment was to him peculiarly interesting, and he entered upon the responsible duties of his sacred office, "much impress'd, "As conscious of his awful charge." Gifted by Nature in no ordinary degree; his mind stored with useful knowledge, and possessed of those qualities that denote the Scholar and the gentleman, he secured the good will and the admiration of all who knew him. The flock which had partially wandered, quickly returned again at his call, to their accustomed fold. In the pulpit his eloquence inclined the young as well as the aged to listen to his impressive admonitions, while in the Ordinary walks of life, he soon became among them, in the capacity of Pastor, their zealous guide and their spiritual friend. But, alas! his influence and example in this endearing relationship, like those of his Father, were not permitted to last long! In consequence of a visit to Charleston, during the sickly season, he was seized with the Fever that then raged, and died at the residence, and in the arms of his friend, Mr. Frost, Sept. 1, 1794, in the 39th year of his age. A few minutes before he expired, observing those standing around his bed to be in tears, his last words were, "Weep not, we soon shall meet again." He was buried on the East of St. Philip's Church, near the Chancel. "All Flesh is grass, and all its glory fades, THE REV. GEORGE H. SPIEREN, A. M. Mr. Spieren was descended from a respectable family in Ireland, and was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin. He left his native country in 1787, and arrived at New-York, early in November. He was soon after elected Rector of the united Churches at Newburgh and Wallkill, and resided at Newburgh, for several years. In 1795, he was Rector of Christ Church, Poughkeepsie, in the same Diocess. He soon after removed to Virginia, where he presided over an Academy for the instruction of youth. In 1797 he came to Carolina, and was elected Rector of Prince George, Winyaw, Jan. 6, 1798, where he added to the responsibility of the pastoral office, the labour of superintending a respectable Seminary. He resigned in 1802. The death of an amiable son of great promise, filled his mind with deep melancholy. He "retired to Sullivan's Island, worn out with grief and affliction for the loss he had sustained; and though desiring death, yet striving to sustain that life which was requi |
