THOMAS WALKER, Leeds. 57 6mo. 24 1851 A Minister. It is believed that many who will read this brief notice can bear witness that the life of this beloved friend was characterized by much simplicity, and by a cheerful humble willingness to do what he could in the service of the Saviour whom he loved. In youth he yielded up his heart to the visitations of heavenly love, and in early manhood felt constrained to testify publicly, what he himself sweetly experienced, that Christ was not a hard master, but that his yoke was easy and his burden light. He was thus, through divine grace, enabled to become a preacher of righteousness in word and in deed. The day before he was taken ill, viz., First day, 22nd of 6th Mo., being apparently in usual health, he attended the morning and evening meetings at Leeds, and each time appeared in testimony, concluding his ministry on earth, by an impressive reference to Jesus Christ as our only hope of glory. Some of his last words during his illness, were "The Lord is good to us," followed by a few more, which could not be gathered, owing to his voice being much affected by the sudden seizure, which in little more than twenty-four hours, severed the silver cord, and emancipated the redeemed spirit from this scene of probation, to unite with the ransomed of all generations in celebrating the praise of Him who died that we might live. |
