In memory of the REV. ENOCH DAVID, who departed this life Nov. 28th, 1793. Aged 78 years, 8 months, and 22 days.


Farewell, Good Man.


A faithful herald, thou, of Heavenly grace,


Thou couldst awake conviction on the soul


Where others touched not, and e'en thoughts control;


Full on the mind enforce each Gospel truth;


Nor didst deceive by noise, by art, by sound


The vacant minds of gaping crowds around. Tho' science marked thee not, yet thou knew'st well In plainest language noblest truth to tell,


And tho' thy page was not with learning fraught


Thy warfare so ended in a good old age


Has thou concluded well thy pilgrimage.


Adieu, good man, rewards await thee now,


Where men of greater fame


Shall to thy virtue bow.


DANIEL G. W. DAVID died May 7, 1861, in the 94 yr. of his age.
