FROM DR. BI LLIES NOTES.
Last end of flic Cliristain and the Infi
del.
[Note dated October, 1838.]
In writing out my notes I find I have r.
good deal to say of myself, but the read o'
will pardon this apparent egotism when hi
reflects that I am writing from my owi
liary, like an autobiographer, it is una
voidable, and I preface this note espe
cially with the remark, because it records
au era in my life, personal to myself, of
very serious consequense as *1 hope and
believe m my'.future welfare,and moreover,
its frank recital may do good to others.
With many students of my date in
Yale College, I became very skeptical in
my religiuos opinions from the great in
fluence over ns of some seniors in our soci
ety. Just after the discussion and settle
ment of the Missouri question in Congress,
the college societies (the Brothers and
Linonian) took the subject up in their
halls, and the'argument and language of
the Northern students against slavery and
slave -owners were so offensive to the
Southern members, that they seeceded in
a body, and formed themselves into a
new society,and called it the Coiliapean; I
became a member in my freshman year,
tho’ I engaged hut little in the discussions
was always an attentive listener to those
further advanced; among thorn were two
brilliant young men, both from Virginia,
wlio,‘ ‘with thoughts that breath and words
that burn” would carry their side of a
question in dis; u , although, tie weaker
one. Tho discussion of religious subjests
was their favorite field for display, and
unfortunately for us young fellows, they
were both infidels. Tom Bayne,Hume and
Bolingbooke were tlietr Diversities, the
Bible and Scotts Commentaries, tlieir text
hook for ridicule; for a long time my old
Sunbury training would assert itself, and
shame away my rising doubt, hut before I
left college.l was a full brother to “doubt
ful Thomas.” One of the young Deists
was last in the ship Albiofi, (in which
Professor Fisher of our college, also per
ished,) his family being wealthy, he was
on his way to Europe, to finish his educa
tion. The other, lived to see and mourn
liis errors, and died a Christian and a min
ister of the gospel which he derided in his
college days.
My medical education did not do much
in removing my skepticism, for here
again I fell into evil associations and re
flections. It is true that the study of the
human body, so fearfully and wonderful
ly made, fixes in your mind the existence
and the work of a great Creator, but the
resurrection of this body after its mutila
tion and total dismemberment under the
knife, gives to the human understanding,
aud one predisposed to unbelief, a plausi
ble pretext, and yet how vain !
If, however* the study of medicine is
not calculated to cure a skeptical mind, I
am very sure from my own experience, at
least, that the practice must he, when
our attention is prolonged to the patients
dying hour; the contrast between the end
of the Christian and the infidel is enough
to convince the most indifferent observer,
of the reality of the Christian religion. It
has been my lot, in a long professional
life, to witness very many deaths, oT per
sons of all shades of religious views; and
many of none at all; of the moral man and
the brave man who met death unflinch
ingly; but ifi ail, there was wanting the
calm and peaceful resignation of the true
believer. I have seen him die, and in his
perfect mind, with a smile expressing
simply “I have nothing to fear, and every
thing to hope.”
In my long plantation practice I have
watched with interest the last hours of the
negro, and as a general rule they ’are pas
sive and apparently indifferent about the
future, there are exceptional cases, of
course; ono I remember, of a woman who
shouted and welcomed the angel with glad
ness, but whether it was her desire to get
rid of the lioe, or to get to heaven, 1 could
not spv. I remember another, of old Ish
meal, the bell ringer; he was owned by a
pious gentleman, highly valued by him,
as a good faithful servant, and much in
dulged ; all that was required of him in his
latter days was to ring the bell to assem
ble the people to worship in the Baptist
church in town, and the Chapel on his
masters plantation for evening prayer.
His master had built him a lodge near the
entrance gate, and on my visits (being the
contract physician to the plantation) he
would come to open it for me, when I
would salute him, with “Good morning,
my old friend, how do you do?” and he
would answer:
“Thank you, master, quite well, blessed
be Ged, and waiting for the summons to
go home to heaven, and be at rest.”
And this, or something like it, was his
uniform reply upon each succeeding call.
One day I missed Ishmael at the gate, and
I drove up to the hospital where I was
told that he was very sick, and that his
master had removed him where he could
be better attended,his disease was typhoid
pneumonia, and had been very prevalent
and fatal during the preceeding month. I
found him laboring urder the complaint
in its most aggrevated form, and after
close attention for a few days I thought his
time was up, and told him- no, saying
“Ishmael, my old friend,l think your wish
is soon to bo gratified, that the message
to come home mid he at rest is near at
hand, and instead of ringing the bell for
the church below, you will soon be
tolling the bell of the ehurch above.
“Well, Doctor,” he replied, “if it pleases
God, I would rather ring a few years lon
ger below, but his will be done.”
Contrary to all expectations, Ishmael re
covered, and sure enough he rang the
bell belmc for several years longer, and
when the summons did come, it found
him ready, lamps trimmed and burning
and his death was triumphant and happy.
My notes are full of the deaths from yel
lo"w fever in 1854; many personal friends,
and all daily acquaintances; also of inci
dents connected therewith.
One afternoon, Amos Ailing having ju: t
expired with black vomit, George Wing
and O’Neal,Clensy and myself were stand
ing over him, when O’Neal observed:
“Well my friends, it may be our time
next,’’ and before the week had passed,
they had all gone, leaving me only. Wing
had worn himself down with nursing,
not only his friends, hut any one who
needed his services, he was ind*etatigable
and fearless in the discharge of his volun
tary duties, and fell a victim to the dread
disease.
O’Neal was ill hut a single day and
night, and when much exhausted by fre
quent discharges of black vomit, I handed
him a glass of brandy, he shook his head
and whispered:
“I promised my mother for reasons
known to ourselves, never to touch it, nor
have I in 22 years.”
“But my friend,” I answered, “it might
save your life.”
“No, Doctor, if that only will save me,
let me die,’’and in a lew hours after he
was gone.
I might fill pages with the history of that
terrible scourge, but such is not the pur
pose of this note. I will oAly add the re
markable fact that out of our large colored
population there were hut few cases of
yellow fever, aiid no deaths.
Another fact occurs to me; I recollect no
burial services held over the dead, and no
prayer over the dying, except once in the
rco n of a young stranger among us, who
was constantly calling for his mother, and
turning to the young men around liis bed
he said: “Boys, if any of you can pray,
please pray for me.” There was a dead
silence fora moment, when the old color
ed nurse,kneeling by him prayed that “the
good God and mcrciftll father woujd spare
the sick boy for his mother’s sake and for
Christ sake.” He was among the few' who
recovered. The praying men kept away,
on account of tlieir families I suppose.
Iu the beginning of the epidemic, I had
a strong and efficient staff of assistants,
but as it progressed, they wore taken from
me, one by one. My friend,and colleague,
Dr. Lewis Baker, stood by me faithfully
while he could; but in the midst of it was
confined to his bed by a severe affliction
which terminated his life a short time af
ter. Mr. Dennis, an estimable and cliris
tain young gentleman from the North,
was a willing and active co-worker, hut
soon succumbed to the dread disease.
When nearly worked down by incessent
labor, exposure and fatigue, I w r as reliev
ed bv two physicians from Savannah,
Doctors Wragg and Young.
The timely arrival of these gentlemen
saved me the painful anxiety of attending
my own son, Butler, who like a good sol
dier, as he afterwards proved himself,
faced the enemy with me until hot was
stricken down. Under a kind Providence
he was spared to us.
But I find my thoughts have been run
awav with by recollections of events that
have transpired long since the date of tlic
note that I started to write out, viz: “The
End of the Christian and the Infidel. ’’ I
had in my mind at the time two special
cases, hut the truth set forth has been
confirmed through all my practice and
experience. In speaking ot the death of
the Christian, I mean, of course, the day
by-day living Christian, and not the pro
fessor only, for the last moments of the
canting hipocrite are more appalling, if
possible than these of the Infidel.
While yet a young man, and thougtless,
I attended with my deceased friend, Dr.
Fraser, a Baptist clergyman, who had been
suffering for years with a pulmonary com
plaint, aiid in passing through Darien,
was ams ed by an alarming hemorhage, or
bleeding from the lungs. Dr. Fraser gave
him three days to live, and ho blessed
God for that much time, that he might
write a few lines to his family, and say
a word to us, and such friends as might
call to see him. He was the guest of Sirs.
King, a kind and hospitable lady, who
had him removed to her house for more
tender care and nursing; either Fraser
or myself was with him during his short
illness, and at its close, both of us. His
express ofions gratitude to Mrs. King and
ounrselves were affecting in the extreme;
every word he uttered was a lesson of
truth'and wisdom, of love and trust, and
as the finale hour drew nigh, and scarcely
able to articulate, with a pleasant smile,
he took Fraser’s hand, and said:
“See how a christain can die; let my
death bear humble testimony,” and with
encouraging words he calmly passed away
—poor Fraser, his lips trembled and his
eyes filled, and turning Mrs. King, he
said: “May my last end be like liis,” he
died not long after, and I humbly trust, it
was.
Not very long after this impressive
death, I was called to see a gentleman of
education and social position, severely ill
with typhoid fever, this disease is marked
by its sane moments, and paroxysm of
wild delerium, the patient was*an old ac
quaintance, he was well informed on
medical subjects, and on the third day af
ter a violent paroxysm, and in his quiet
state, he begged me to sit near him, as he
wanted to speak with me seriously. With
an expression of terror on his face, he
said: “Doctor, I’m going to die, 1 feel it,
I know it. and what am Itodo ? it is too
dreadful to think of.”
“But why” I ask.”
“Because,” he replied, “I'm not satisfi
ed with myself, I have reviled religion,
and ridiculed the Bible, and plaspliemed
and denied the Savior, and said and done
all else that was wicked, and for days and
nights I have been consumed with rc
mofse. I told him to send for our mutu
al friend, , and talk with him, thatl
was not a physician to the soul, and could
not help him.
“No, no;” he said “not him, of all men,
I’ve said too much to him and [toi
lately.”
I felt a personal interest ifi what he had
to say, for it was this very gentleman who
had upheld my wanderings, and if the
approach of death was about to drive away
his belief, and bring him to confession of
the truth, he had scoffed so ingeniously
and so long, I wanted to know, and deter
mined to watch him to the end, and of
this Iliad no doubt,for the unerring pulse
his shrinking limbs, contracted features,
more especially the nose and the dry and
crispy hair and other symptoms, gave pal
pable premonition of death.
Without going into particulars, his con
versation in his sane moments was an un
conditional serrender of his Deistical sen
timents, trying to palliate his offences by
telling me of the good he had done, his
acts of charity, his subscription part tic u
lai'lv, in aid of an old and retired minis
ter iu out neighborhood; he would become
excited and staring at me, leap from his
bed and try to get out of the room; his
family had placed two able bodied ser
vants near him for in his delirium it was
necessary to restrain him by force. Two
elder physicians were in attendance with
me, but their visit were short, simply
holding a consultation, determining the
treatment, and would leave me to carry it
out. It was on the seventh day about
noon, after painful and wearisome watch
ing, when Nelson, (one of the negro men)
come to my room and told me his master
was under his bed and they could not
get him out, that he told them to drive the
devil away and ho would get hack in bed,
and to call me. With great difficulty we
got him hack, where he lay in a coma
tose condition until near sunset when he
woke up with a start, screaming loudly he
setting up in bed, he pointed to a corner
of the room, and then fell hack and cov
ered himself up.
It was filled with curses and impreca
tions, for he lmd made no peace with his
conscience or his God; we had to hold him
down in his bed by main force while the
paroxysm lasted, when ho would relapse
into infant meekness. .The old Doctors
came in to pay their evening visit, hut
hearing him howl, they left precipi
tately. At last the death struggle came, I
was siting by his head, and tho two ne
gro men were standing at the foot of the
bed, he had been laying quiet for a few
minutes when ho muttered, “there he, in
a join !" and before either of us could in
terfere, he turned out of bed, and in do
ing so, upset the table standing between
the door, and the bed, putting out the
candle, and tile table, railing against the
door barricaded it: the negro men who
had been looking like two scared rabbits,
jumped out of the window, the family
hearing the uproar came tfi the door, but
couldn't get in, nor could I open the door
to admit them; the exclamations of the
poor sufferer were awful, but the strug
gle was soon over, when it ceased I, found
that he was dead.
Lot ns try to profit by tbe lesson these
two deaths teach ns.

Uundredsand thousands of Catholics in the Dio

their duties towards God and their country.
“Man,” wrote Leibnitz, “isa compound of time

of the world present; and as such, he has eternal
