Sivu 9 - How amiable are thy tabernacles,- O Lord of hosts ! " My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth, for the courts of the Lord ; my heart and, my flesh crieth out for the living God.
Sivu 4 - ... from things immoral or dishonourable ; yet it was not until about the twenty-first year of his age, that his mind was peculiarly and strongly impressed with the supreme importance of heavenly things, and the necessity of making them the primary objects of pursuit; and even after these convictions, the pleasures of the world, the desire of accumulating wealth, and of obtaining pre-eminence amongst men, gained, for a time, the ascendency in his mind. Divine Goodness did not, however, leave him...
Sivu 8 - Scriptures, both at home and abroad; and he was particularly exertive in the establishment and managtnent of that excellent institution, the Retreat, near York, for insane persons. Though he possessed an uncommon degree of firmness of mind, and was favoured to rise, with singular fortitude, above his own troubles and afflictions, yet he knew and felt for the imperfections, trials, and infirmities, incident to human nature; and this sympathetic regard towards others, joined to a religious tenderness...
Sivu 9 - ... of Robert Grubb, and his eldest son, Henry,* such of them as attained to maturity survived him. In the endearing relations of husband and parent, his exemplary conduct was no less conspicuous, than in the more public duties of life.
Sivu 5 - ... of religious principle. As his mind gained strength by obedience to the convictions of Truth, he was led to take a part in the discipline of our Society, and to labour, with great zeal, for the impartial and Christian exercise of it, in the monthly and quarterly meetings of which he was a member; in both which, though he had many difficulties to encounter, he was instrumental in effecting much good. He soon became more extensively useful, in this department of the Society's affairs; and the strict...

The degree in which he was ever afterwards kept aloof from the spirit of the world, though necessarily engaged in its cares for the support of a numerous family, and...
Sivu 9 - There is reason to believe, that in a good degree of this favoured state of mind, the messenger of death summoned this Christian soldier from works to rewards. The attack which terminated his life, though rather sudden, was gentle. He appeared to be sensible that the close was approaching ; and though he said but little on the subject, his deportment manifested that he was waiting for that solemn event. A few days before it took place, he gradually became weaker, and departed quietly, without any...
Sivu 7 - ... or for promoting, by other means, the cause of truth and righteousness amongst men, his heart and his house were open; and in this cheerful dedication of his time and substance, he was blessed and comforted. He was earnestly solicitous that Friends should contribute according to their ability, to such matters as required pecuniary aid, whether for the maintenance of our poor, the relief of the distressed, the accommodation of the Society, or the forwarding of benevolent objects ; and was a good...
Sivu 6 - ... example, of a cheerful acquiescence in these respects, became instructively conspicuous. This active and indefatigable labourer in the cause of religion and Christian morals, was a man much given to hospitality. To those who travelled in the work of the ministry, or for promoting, by other means, the cause of truth and righteousness amongst men, his heart and his house were open; and in this cheerful dedication of his time and substance, he was blessed and comforted. He was earnestly solicitous...
Sivu 4 - ... elder in our Society, not much that is interesting has come to the knowledge of his friends. But it appears, that as he grew up, though he possessed a great degree of uprightness, and was preserved in conduct from things immoral or dishonourable ; yet it was not until about the twenty-first year of his age, that his mind was peculiarly and strongly impressed with the supreme importance of heavenly things, and the necessity of making them the primary objects of pursuit; and even after these convictions,...
