An Extract. In 17S8, Bishop Asbury. on his way to Charleston, finds an old colored man, named Punch, fishing on the bank of a creek.— Punch’# character had been bad. The bishop rides up to him, and inquires, “ Punch, did you ever pray ?” The reply, is, “ No, sir.”— The bishop talks to him; Punch is alarmed. The bishop sings for him, “ Plunged in a gulf of dark despair we wretched sinners lay,” and the tears roll down the swarthy cheeks of his solitary auditor. The bishop rides away. Punch throws down his fish-pole and starts for home. To use his own language, “ I been tink fore I got home Punch be gone to hell.” Punch became a converted man. He preached to his own people. The- over seer forbade him. Then the overseer became converted, and the word spread still more. Some twenty or twenty-five years afterward, during Bishop Asbury's last visit to Charles ton, Punch traveled sixty or seventy miles on foot to Charleston to see him. Years after that the South Carolina Conference sent a missionary to the colored people, in obedi ence to the request of some gentlemen of wealth. The missionary came to the cabin where Punch lived. An aged man with wrinkled and palsied limbs came to the door, but there was glory in his face, lie looked on the missionary in silence, then raising his eyes to heaven said, “Now, Lord, lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.” The visitor was confused, but the old man said, “I have many children in this place. I have felt for some time past that my end was nigh. I have looked around to see who might take my place when lam gone. I could find none.- I felt unwilling to die and leave them so, and have been praying to God to send someone to take care of them. The Lord has sent you my child ; lam ready to go.” lie died in a few days, and left two or three hundred peo ple, whom he had gathered together, to the care of the missionary. The successors of Asbury have a duty which they owe to the lowty. * * * * *r, * Let us pause a moment over the testimonies of the dying ministers of Christ. These are a few golden sands wrenched from the grasp of death. The last words of “the great Ot terbein,” as Bishop Asbury calls him, were, “ The conflict is over ; lay me down upon the pillow and be still.” Guetthing, who was taken sick on a visit to Father Otterbein. and started for home but died before he reached it, suddenly said, “I lark ! hark ! who spoke ? whose voice is that I hear ? Light, light, what golden light! Now all is dark again. ; Please help me out of bed.” lie said, “ Let us sing ‘Come thou long expected moment.’ ” Me knelt and otfered prayer. lie was helped into bed, folded las hands across his bosom, and in fifteen minutes was in Paradise. Wil liam Gill quietly fell asleep in death, and closed his own eves. William Jessup said, when dying, “My work is done. Glory, glory !” Hope Hull, while dying, was asked concerning his spiritual state, and replied, "God has laid me under marching orders, and lam ready to obey.” While prayer was of fered at the dying bed of Jesse Lee, he broke out in ecstacics. “Glory,glory, Jesus reigns ! heaven is just before me.” He also said the next day, “Give my respects to Bishop Me ivendrQC ; tell him that I die in love with all the preachers, and that he lives in my heart.” He said, “ Brother Boehm, when I die I wish you to close my eyes.” The aged Asbury, as he passed on His way proclaiming Christ, cried out In rapture, “ Ifail, all hail eternal sHory !” And the quiet words of McKendree, "All is well.”- still linger like the words of a parting benediction upon the Churches.—Re miniscences of Rev. llenvy Boehm. The Praying Sailors. A ship once sprung a leak in mid-ocean, and there seemed no escape for the crew from a watery grave. The captain, with deep emo tion, gathered his men around him, thirty-two in number, and briefly stated their condition. “Are you prepared for it ?” he asked, feel ingly. Two men stepped forward. “Captain, we believe that we are prepared for death.” “ Then,” said he, “ pray for me and your shipmates. I know that lam not prepared.” The two men knelt down with the com pany, and earnestly prayed God to save them all for' llis dear Son's sake. There was no jeering now at their praying shipmates. No one to scoff at their religion. Every one felt that there was couUbrt and safety for them in God. While they were praying their sig nal of distress was seen, and a lifeboat sent to their rescue. They felt as if God had sent an angel to their help, and t.heir thanksgiv ings were as earnest as their prayer-meeting for assistance had been. A daily prayer meeting was established among them, and be fore port was reached each one of the thirty two was hopefully converted. It is a blessing beyond every other earthly good to be associated with a praying Chris tian people. We do not know how many times the Lord wards off danger and trouble from us on this account, and how many bless ings come to us in answer to their prayers. Choose such company in preference to any other, if you would enjoy the blessings God bestows in this life, and be fitted at least for such companionship in the life beyond. The Fallen Sister, Yon may ransack the world for objects of compassion ; you may scour the earth in search for suffering humanity, on which to exercise your philanthropy ; you may roam the hospitals and asylums of this vast city, penetrate the dens and caves of all other profligacy, lavish your bounty upon a trans- Atlantic famine, or scatter the Bible broad cast throughout the great moral wilderness of heathendom ; but in all the million claims upon your faith, upon your feelings as a man, upon your benevolence as a Christian, you will never fulfill a mission nearer to Christ, never promote a charity more con genial to his gospel; you will never more surely wake joy in heaven, and force tears into the eyes of sympathizing angels, than when you can bring a Magdalene face to face with the Redeemer, and thrill her poor heart, even to breaking, with the music of the Divine voice calling her by name—Mary. # > 1 Never too Old. Rev. Andrew Longacre, in a recent sermon said : “A man is never too old to work until he is too old to live.” We thought how true that is ! Men of advanced age, trembling on their staff, as they tread cautiously along the crowded thoroughfare, or sit quiety in the old arm chair at home, may yet do something—do something for Jesus. Christian men often retire from business too early in life. They might work on and accumulate property to be used for Jesus. Let us work on—work ever—and 1 even in the death grasp, we may be able to , do something for Jesus. I The Christian at Work. T. DeWITT TALMADGE, Editor. Without Premium, $3; with Premium, $325.
