inaction, unless thus suddenly developed.

He was buried the next day at Trichinopoly church, where the mural
tablet, with most touching and appropriate simplicity, bears no
inscription in laudation, but merely the holy words, "Be ye also ready."

Thus ended a life of inward and outward brightness, which comes like a
stream of sunshine among the shadows through which most of the labourers
had to struggle, either for want of means of education, or from poverty
or melancholy, and yet as true and as exhilarating a course as was ever
one of theirs. May we not read his description in the verse:--

"And there are souls that seem to dwell
Above this earth--so rich a spell
Floats round their steps where'er they move,
Of hopes fulfilled, and mutual love:
Such, if on high their hopes are set,

Such wedded souls our God shall own
For faultless virgins round His throne."

Mrs. Heber published soon after her return her husband's journals, and
these, bearing the impress of his graceful, scholarly hand, attracted
many readers who care merely for information and amusement; and thus, by
their mere mundane qualities, his writings did much to spread knowledge
of, and therefore interest in, the field of labour in which he died.
Large subscriptions came into the societies, and in a few years a church
and three schools for the natives, with the pastor he had indicated,
served as the best monument of that Low Sunday at Trichinopoly.

His successor was John Thomas James: the most memorable event in whose
life was a halt at the Cape of Good Hope. This was the first time that
colony had ever been visited by a Bishop, and there was no church, though
a piece of land had been newly granted for one, which he consecrated
before proceeding on his voyage. He arrived in 1828, but the climate of
Calcutta struck him for death almost immediately. He was only able to

clergy, then was forced to embark, and died at sea within a few months of
his arrival.

During this time Daniel Wilson had been working under Mr. Cecil at
Chobham, where he remained for three years, when a tutorship at St.
Edmund's Hall was offered to him, which enabled him to marry his cousin
Ann, combin
