REPORT ON THE DEATH OF REV. H. LARKIN AND BRO. M. A. WISENER.
The Committee appointed to report appropriate resolutions in relation to the death of Rev. H. Larkin, formerly a member of Tennessee Presbytery, report, that from reliable information received, Bro.Larkin closed his career on earth, and left the Church militant for the Church triumphant, on the 14th of July last, in full prospect of his blessed reward, through Christ Jesus, in heaven.

Your Committee recommend that your reverend body adopt the following resolutions as expressive of the high respect in which he was held by his brethren, while he was one of you in life, and the place that a recollection of his worth still occupies in memory--viz."

Resolved, 1. That in the death of our beloved Brother Larkin, this Presbytery has lost a pleasant and safe counsellor, our churches a sincere and honest advocate of truth, morality, and temperance, both by precept and example.

Resolved, 2. That in said death we deplore his loss, yet bow with submission to the will of our common Lord Jesus Christ.

Resolved, 3. That in the death of our brother we feel the strength and force of our Lord's injunction, "Be ye also ready."

Resolved, 4. That we most deeply and tenderly sympathize with his bereaved wife and family.

Resolved, 5. That a funeral address be delivered in relation to the Christian and ministerial life of Bro. Larkin, on Sabbath next, at half-past seven o'clock P.M., before this Presbytery and the Winchester congregation, and that said address be delivered by Rev. W. D. Chadick, D.D.

Your Committee also report, that since your last meeting of Presbytery, God in his providence has removed by death Bro. M. A. Wisener, one of your candidates for the gospel ministry, in which your Committee, with your reverend body, are reminded of the uncertainty of human life, among the young as well as the old, and of the importance of the judicious improvement of life's short duration, according to the grace that is vouchsafed us in our common gospel.

M. H. Bone, Chairman.
Wm. D. Chadick.
A. K. Erwin.

DIED, after a protracted spell of sickness, on the 14th July, 1860, Rev. HENRY LARKIN, who was born in Hawkins county, Tenn., June 30th 1795; professed religion in the Court-house in Winchester, December, 1821, and was received as a candidate for the ministry by the Tennessee Presbytery in September, 1825, at old Mt. Carmel, Franklin county, Tenn.; and died, as above stated, July 14th, 1860, being a few days over 65 years old.

Brother Larkin was a Scotch-Irish descent, and his wife, formerly Christiana McLeod, was of the same origin. He was a minister of the gospel for some 28 years, most of which time he was actively and zealously engaged in preaching the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ, while at the same time he advocated strongly the cause of temperance. He enlisted in this cause several years before he professed religion; and generally when in company, he, in a private manner, would urge the claims of the temperance cause. And after he became a minister he began to lecture publicly, and continued to do so as long as his health would permit. He was instrumental in building up many temperance societies. So when he died, the cause of temperance lost one of its warmest supporters and best friends.

Brother Larkin raised a large family of children, mostly sons, (three daughters) who were also examples of temperance and morality: yes, more, the old father had the pleasure of seeing the most of his children worthy members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church before he died. For several years before his death his health was very imperfect; consequently he was not able to preach as he had done while his health was good, for then he labored with much zeal and success, and doubtless the truth of God as delivered by him proved a savor of life unto life to many that heard it. In the death of this old brother, Tennessee Presbytery has lost a worthy member, the Church a bright ornament, the community a worthy citizen, and his family has lost a kind and affectionate husband and father.

Brother Larkin was confined to his bed for several weeks before his death, during which time he suffered much pain; but during intervals, when his sufferings were not so intense, he had ample time for reflection. The writer of this spent several days and nights with him during the three last weeks of his life; he talked much with me of the past, and also about his prospects for the future; at first he said there was some darkness overshadowing his mind, but when he began to contemplate the many precious promises, and the goodness and mercy of God, the darkness vanished as the morning cloud, and light from the eternal world shone into his soul, which caused him to rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory; and for some weeks before his death he appeared to have unshaken confidence in the grace of God in his salvation; he appeared to be as confident of his acceptance with God as David was when he said: "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil."

O what a sight to see an old veteran soldier of the cross, and minister of Jesus Christ, while in the agonies of death, and while wife and children weep around, rejoice in hope of eternal rest beyond the grave! Brother Larkin left a wife, nine children, and many other relatives and friends who mourn his loss; but let me say to you. Dry up your tears, for you cannot weep as those who have no hope; and while you are bereaved sorely, and afflicted deeply, remember that your husband and father is in immortal bliss at God's right hand. Then press onward in the same path in which all the pious dead have travelled, and soon you will embrace loved ones again, where
