In bidding you farewell to-day my thoughts at once turn to the days and scenes of my first arrival and efforts. 7 years, is not a long time, but in California, long enough to make a chapter in life, extraordinary in incident and interest, long e h almost to make a life of itself. I first arrived here in April 14th, 1851. I was told before coming that the place contained some thirty thousand inhabitants. There could not have been less than ten thousand, there might have been as many as fifteen thousand. Evyery house in town was then crowded, as wwell as every cabin on the hills, yn the flats and in the ravines for one or ‘two miles around. The city had its wards in Donkeyville, Gold Flat, Selby Flat, while the ward in Cayoteville was as ambitious and pretending, asthe central ward itself. It boasted then a Mayor, Common Council, Marshal and Police, City Attorney and Recorder, and all other officers necessary for a city government and sufficient to plunge it into debt which to this day remains unpaid. Stirring times then and hard, hard, becalse scores were just coming from the famous Gold Lake expedition, penniless and disgusted. It was from one of those Gold Lake adventures I first learned the meaning of the word “strapped”—-hard also, because many of the diggings were not paying anything like the fabulous rates of 49 and ’50. Men got angry and sold their claims because they were not turning out more than an ounce per day to the hand; hard be. cause the great fire of March 11th had . just swept over the city, causing an en. ormous sacrifice of fortune, as well as of Office Main st. opposite Express offices. ——TERMS,.—— For ONE YRan—In ADVANCE..

Finally, that is, after years of mutual labors and interests, hopes and fears, suecesses and reverses, Joys and sorrows, friends and brethren, we must part ; must pronounce the sad and painful farewell. With me, it has been a household word these years. Many are the friends, during the last seven years, who have come to me one by one with this doleful word. Some, who had succeeded in bettering their fortunes, and glad their time had come toreturn. Seme, hopeless of doing any better than live, and anxious to return to their distant homes and live there. Some, disappointed altogether in their plans and expectations, and disgusted with the country, bound to other parts, to retrieve their losses, and some, ee 7 to leave furever the scenes of time, for . ‘ that bourne whence no travellér ever re.

There isa history at gives it importance ; it is the word 3 that giv S 1 impor ae ee a when I applied to them for a church subif friends, and . cen of their friendoe : ‘ f frie nds, and the token of th scription. I remember how Ad. Smith ship. came to the Hotel and invited some of The apostle Paul, we are told “first the ladies, as a matter of special favor to them, to go over and see and admire his new saloon before he opened those fine glass stained doors for the benefit of tie vulgar herd, and [remember how the ladies went and admired it. Scott of the Empire envied his rivals, but then he too was respectable. Dr. Brown, was not only very rich but reputed to bea very honorable gambler honorable no doubt, as aman once said tome with all gravity, that Tom Bell was tke most honorable robber he had ever seen or known in the country. The names of such men as Scott, Barker, Lovell, Sandy Brown, such places as Exchange, Empire, Bella Union—how they bring up the murderous exercises and scenes of our first years. Were it not for the reality of the terrible havoc of character and morals and life that must forever remain associated with them it would seem like a dream that is past, like a sleep when a man awaketh. In that same month a religious society was organized, chiefly for the purpose of building a church edifice. Horace Everett of Charlestown, Mass., was President, and Dr. Dexter.Clark of Rockford, Illinois, Treasurer. There was no church organization here then A class of the M. E.C. and one of the Methodist South church held occasional meetings while a Gold Flat miuer preached to themonthe Sabbath. Dr. Clark as nearly asI can recollect was the only professional man that pretended to adhere strictly to his profession. Lawyers, Physicians and Preachers, were all of them for a time, miners or traders. Law, Medicine and Gospel were simply incidentals, they came into important note however very soon after. The building of the church commencHe was then on his way from Macedonia to Hle had passed some time at Athens, where he had preached the Gospel, but not with such suecess as to warrant him to remain there, or to orvisited Corinth, in the year 452.” Jerusalem. ganize a church. He came to Corinth and found Aquila and Triscilla, who had lately arrivedfrom Rome. Upon the arrival of Silasand Timothy, Paul entered on the great work of preaching the Gospel in that splendid and dissipated city. His embarrassments and discouragements were such, as almost drove him from the place—but in the midst of them all, he was met by a gracious promise of the Lord that He would be with him, and would not leave him, and that it was his purpose to collect a church there. In thiscity Paul remained 18 months preaching without mclestation. After a while opposition arose, but it is believed that the very leader of this opposition was soon after converted. In due time a church was organized which soon became the most famous of all the apostolical churches. Of course it is easy to believe that he loved the church, and that too intensely. His labors had not been in vain, his love not altogether unrequited, and his farewell, has all the force and tenderness of feeling which pertains to a genuine sincere Christian friendship. His life had been devoted to the “care of all the churches”—he had planted and trained them—and as the time came to bid them farewell, we can better imagine than describe the feelings, that wrought in his soul the conflict and pain of separation. Nothing is more touching and full than the farewell the scene at Ephesus—no . . i a ed in June, and it stood on this very spot surrounded by lofty evergreen pines, which gave it quite a forest like appearance. In September, the church .was done ; a full and crowded house, met together for a joyful and delightful d cation. The same day the church was organized, the first church north of Sacramento city, and perhaps the first in the mountains and mines of California The membership was 21. One lady, the rest men. Of it, it may be said and truly it was a membership for the times. A more harmonious efficient and examplary church, from the dnftings of so many churches, could not I think be gathered together again. In February the entire debt was paid off chiefly by the Ladies, who by their efforts raised $2,700. In April ’52 I was installed in due form as Pastor. from my arrival to my installation, what of the times? Indeed that year will ever be along. long remembered year. We worshipped till we had a louse of our own, in the Dramatic Hall on Broad street, by permission of Dr. Robinson. The Theaire at night however had always by far the largest crowd. The Sabbath was the day of days not for worship and spiritual refreshings however. With the exception ofthe 4th of July 1851, bull and bear fights, theatrieal exhibitions, cireus performances, all paid better on the Sabbath than any other day. Merchants sold four times as many goods, bankers bought their biggest lots of dust, boarding houses were literally crowded from morning till night, washing and sewing in the cabins, done up for the week, spreeing and carousing keptin ebeyance for the Sabbath, The Sabbath was the set time fer the pandemonium of passion, pleasure and gain, to train and tear. Dark, dark, times indeed—times that tried men’s souls, that gave all men a chance to shew themselves out to appear as they were in fact. No wonder families did not feel at home here, they did not wish to bring up little children amid such horrid degeneracy, and unblushing wickedness. Society was just divided into two classes, those who were actually going, and those who were intending to go away as soon as possible. ‘There was but little confidence in the mines, quartz was set down asa humbug, and placer diggings about used up. it worth their while to buy Sunday clothes it was throwing money away, white shirts were useless. It may seem strange and almost incredible to those who have been here but a short time to hear the narrative of those times. It may cause such to inquire what could have inducedjmen to think of such things as churches? pray, what chances of success, what ground of hope at all for reformation or cizilization ? Well, in that year, two churches were organized and twochurch buildings dedicated. A day school and Sabbath school were opened for the children, and a press, the Nevapa JouRNAL was established, and since then how many interests have risen up to mark our progress, and how many have gone down, some to some to show poverty compared with former years. Another press, four churches, three show improvement, Sabbath Schools, 2 divisions of the order of the Sons of ‘Temperance, public and private schools, eleemosynary societies, a library association, hospitals factories, mills, the triumphs of laws, and the benignant presence of the religion of the Gospel. There are houses now, cottages with neat and green surroundings shew the longing of the heart for rest, and its settlement into rest. We have not the flush times of °51, ’52 and ’53, neither have we the intense waste and recklessness that characterizthem. We have not thethronged and illuminated saloons. The law has exter, minated them, a law that came with the progressive pressure of moral feeling and opinion; this backed up the law. We have not the barbarous sports of Lovell’s ring; before the law passed the Legislature the miners razeed poor Charley’s hopes, as the freshet wrecked and carried off his memorable Jenny Lind. We have not the wealthiest city in the mines, we might have had but six fires have proved more than our match, five consumed property, the last and sixth wasted our confidence; it has done damage more by breaking up our intentions, upsetting our plans, making us uneasy, unsettled, tolook some where else for a home, than if it had only burned five times the property it did. This feeling is bound to exist, it is bound tokeep families and capitaiists away, until waterworks, fire companies, &c. guarantee some safety against these dreadful fires. To build up to-day is to prepare to burn down to-morrow, but on this topic I refer you for further thoughts to the Nevapa JouRNAL and to the man who has been lifting up his voice like a trumpet since July ’56, to do something or other which will give you the upper hand in times of fire. But all this time,’ Men did not thinkour feebleness or our eee ST THE.NEVADA. NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY MORNING, J UN E 25, 1858, We have not now, dashing and crazy Sabbaths of 51, thank God. Ifnothing else but this partial restoration of the idea of rest on one day in seven had been accomplished, this would have been ough to repay the years of anxious yer and effort. You remember some of you the first meeting in the old church in ’53, to request the merehants to close on the Sabbath promising our patronage to those whodid. A day of smail things ; then the agreements and disagreements of the merchants about closing, then the petitions to the Council, then to the Legislature for three yearsin succession, how only inch by inch, the great work has progressed, till to day we rejoice in a quiet Sabbath, a Sabbath, some of you never expected to see, this side of the Rocky Mountains. Honor to the people, thanks to the good and shrewd sense of their representatives, not to their hearts remember, which gave way to the mandates of their “Sovereign Constituents,” and Praise to God, who in His good Providence overiuled in this matter. Wecan rest now and we can worship with no one to molest us. We have not so many exclusively professional politicians who for their own personal aggrandisement got up cliques and parties, fermenting the whole community with angry passions, sectional animosities. The day is over, and a man now is expected to have some merit if he applies for an office ; and one may say “North,” without standing in danger of his brains, or say “South,” and yet pass for something else than a fire eater, and a madman. In 1851 it was really a difficult work to persuade men to believe in the expediency or necessity of building churches in the mines—and it was no childs play to worry afew dollars for such an object: In footing up what has been done for churches, parsonages, ministers, missionary and bible societies, Sunday schools and religious interests of yarious sorts, by the people of this place, notwithstanding their numerons reverses, amounts to no less than $69,000—$69,000 in seven years. True most of the money has remained in this place and the people have not been materially impoverished in the end nevertheless it is a golden monument of praise to the public spirit and liberality of the people. But Lhave not time to dwell longer on all the events, changes and times that press on the recollections of my Nevada life. To think of the past it I first came here; men, places, times, have changed so completely, that I can only three remain. turn the windlass, has since filled the office of Attorney General of the State, and has quite distinguished himself in his profession—another who used to sell books, somewhat tinged with yellow covers—for three years has been a Disirict Judge, equal to any in the State for industry, executive ability and dispatch; the third is still pursuing the even tenor of his way—-breaking from it only once to figure as acandidate for the office of Of the whole tribe of Supreme Judge. Doctors only two, Knox § Overton, remain to remind us of pioneer days. ministers who have preached to you in different churches as stated, supplies fo1 a longer or a shorter time, I have counted 19, only two beside myself remain, to preach, we know not how soon, their farewell sermons. This church has renewed its membership twice since its organization. Of the original members, beside my family. only two remain. So it has been from the’ first; friends, acquaintances and strangers have kept coming and going, with the coming and going of every day. And here turn to the sad record ‘of your dead.— Weeping around the remains of a dear infant, of a beloved wife, husband or parent, I have stood with you, in prayer commending you to God for the consolations of the riches of his graces. Gathered around the coffin of the acquaintance and friend I have bowed with you, and then pointed your faith to Him, who is “the Resurrection and the life.” The dead, oh how many, taken off in the prime of life, in the gloryings of hope and in the full strength of manhood. How many strangers have lain down before youreyes, and you have gathered them to their long homes. I have preached funeral sermons over the, remains of 55 who died of sickness, of 17 who were stricken down in a moment without any warning. of 4 who by their own hands ended life and sought the refuge of the tomb, two who clutched to life but lost it in the throes and horrors of a drunkard’s delirium; of 9 little children whose sleep I could not call death —they but reposed in the arms of Him who said ‘of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” How familiar to me and to many of you, the path to yonder graveyard. Only two above the age of 50 have I buried, the rest, nearly all of seems as if it was twenty years ago, that hardly reatize Iam in the same place. Of the host of lawyers that were here, One who used to Of SSS ST TSE TE SEE NE en ET will go no more there—but my thoughts oh, how often they’ll hover about and haunt with yours, the hill where the dead are crowding in. To them I have said farewell but not to forget them. My familiarity with death has not hardened me into insensibility; it warns me, does it you? But time fails me brethren, to dwell longer on these details of sorrow—on the changes that have come up so quick and in such throngs, breakinz up as it were the unity of life, making it seem more like a strange dream when one awaketh. Yes, seven years ago I came among you with all the rawness, inexperience, and unfitness of a student, fresh from the seminary. Though you had not much confidence or much care as to the work which brought me here, you were willing that I should have a chance and try the experiment. I had fair warning, that I should have to toil pretty much alone, and while you hoped or wished me success, you were not willing to risk your time or chances. Dr. Clark, himself aright-hand man gave me a hundred opine Os) Rade true respect of a thinking, intclligent ple, and now I can safely challenge you; who have known me the longest, that whatever you may say against mé to my face or behind my back, you cannot say that I came here to bé rich, or to be popular—that you never knew where to find me. The chief, uppermost and controlling wish of my soul has been your well-being and happiness. I have labored for it more than for mine. Your good name I have cherished and loved as dearly as a mother her daughter’s. In your prosperity I have been glad, and your afflictions all of them have filled me with sorrow, and therefore, itis with no ordinary feeling that I say to you farewell. When I look back and see what has been accomplished—the progress and the po sition of many persons and things, I feel truly grateful—not a little encouraged and hopeful for the future. Hut when. I see how much has been left undone—how many opportunities have slipped away without improvement, how much more, incomparably more, might dollars, to be released from a note of . have been done, a feeling of pain and a few hundred which had his name, in connection with two or three others. But you have in my case verified the rule of helping those who help themselves, and whenI think of the many enterprises I have undertaken in your name, and in none have been left finally in the lurch, I cannot but feel a pride in a people whose prompt and generous impulses, have these many years justified every expectation, and earned to themselves a true and honorable name. Go where you please and under the sunyou will not find a people, taking all the circumstances together, more liberal, more free hearted and generous than this, and many places with ten times the ability not one-tenth part the heart and will. Your kinduess to my family, that night in which our little cottage on the hill was burnt, the heartiness with which you supplied the wants of my little children, then totally destitute of raimentand food, and the fact that in about 24 hours you had subscribed enough to erect over our heads, the spacious and beautiful home — beautiful to me and mine because the work. and gift of your true kindness, that now stands on the ruins of the old, we never shall forget it. In any time of future trouble and calamity we may wish ourselves in it again, in any time of future prosperity, though it far surpasses the joys we have known with you, our thoughts will often revisit the home where so many’pleasant, friendly reunions with friends and people were enjoyed. I feel deeply also, the patience with which you have borne with my blunders —the charity with which you have covered my weaknesses and my faults, and indeed I bow in profound recognition, admiration and gratitude, at the fortitude with which you have stood my incessant begging. From the first I have been almost a professional beggar. My face in the street hag been equivalent to a demand for more or less of your money, for some object or other. A long time ago I voted myself a bore, and wondered the people did not drive me off. Show me another minister who has begged in propria persona, and by indirect means, some $10,000 in the same time from the same persons and I think I will show you aman who has been driven from the face of his fellows; but you have endured me. Let me advise you in mercy to future ministers to pass alaw forbidding them to Leg aé all, it will be better for him and better for you, Asa general rule jéfe less a minister has to do with d ng his people, the more he wiJeffo for the people, both in and out of the pulpit. To this part of my life Inow most devoutly and conscientiously say farewell. In bidding you farewell, I go with a conscience clear of this—of ever having tried to be popular. I have worked hard to do my duty and set before you the duty the example ofan upright Christian life, but I have never, not once trimmed to catch the popular breeze. I have made more of standing to my own convictions, than running after the praises ofmen. Ihave not shunned to declare the whole counsel of God. I have felt always the charge of souls. I have recognized and advocated God’s claims to your entire being—not excepting your politics or your business. I have seen many chances where by a few words of explanation and softening I could have won back alienated feelings, but when I found that the desire to be popular was the chief motive, J have refrained. I knew i was right. I knew my convictions were right. My principles were right and I could afford to stand by them till doomsday, and alone, if need be. I ‘could afford to keep my selfrespect—and cherish an honest purpose, even at the expense of the aversion and suspicion of a whole community. I knew the time might come when I would them at least not quite 35. Perhaps I have not only my self-respect but the repentance troubles my soul. I am constrained to ask your forgiveness that I have not, been more devoted to your soul’s salvation—that I have not been more earnest and simple in my lifeprayers and labors to compass your conversion to Christ, and your edifi¢ation in the hope of a blessedimmortality. 1 can see now, where I could havé done better and more—but all regrets that do not touch upon a future improvemert are unavailing, and now there is nothing left for you or me but to rédéem the time. I have preached to you not less than G00 sermons. I shall preach no more, the results will appear by and by, when we stand at the bar of God. 1 have aimed to preach by my life as well as by doctrine and precept—that preaching whether it has been a savor of life unto life or of death unto death, will be tevealed at the judgment. Oh impenitent friends, at parting with you how lremember that God has said there is no peace to the wicked. “Your consciences bear witness that you have had line upon line, precept upon precept. While 1 have lived among youl have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. I have warned you, reproved, rebuked and exhorted you with all long suffering and doctrin>. I have preached as a dying man to dying men and nowI must go away, perhaps to see you no more. I must take my farewell of you—Friday morning next [leave this place with all its interests and attachment, tne birth-piace of all my children but one—the graves of as dear friends as God ever gave to a minister —the home spot of as true hearted christians as ever rallied in a good cause—the place of my sucesses and my short comings, perhaps never to return toit as a home. Receive then all of you my brethren the word of exhortation from the lips of him whose voice has so often sounded an alarm and poured invitations in your ears, though I fear as to many, perhaps the most of you, without effect. My voice may never more be heard by you. O remember the invitations—forget not the threatenings I have urged and given. Heaven forbid that any of them should rise in jndgment against you another day. Now is the day of salvation. ‘To-day if ye will hear His voice harden not your hearts. I beseceh you once more, and perhaps oneo for all, in Christ’s stead “Be ye reconciled to God;” flee from the wrath to come; lay hold in the hope that is set before you; my work now is done; my message ended. Farewell, finally brethren, farewell; be perfect; be of good comfort; be of one mind; live in "peace, and the Ged of love and peace shall be with you; the Lord bless and keep thee; the Lord make his face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee; the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace. Amen.

In bidding you farewell to-day my thoughts at once turn to the days and scenes of my first arrival and efforts. 7 years, is not a long time, but in California, long enough to make a chapter in life, extraordinary in incident and interest, long e h almost to make a life of itself. I first arrived here in April 14th, 1851. I was told before coming that the place contained some thirty thousand inhabitants. There could not have been less than ten thousand, there might have been as many as fifteen thousand. Evyery house in town was then crowded, as wwell as every cabin on the hills, yn the flats and in the ravines for one or ‘two miles around. The city had its wards in Donkeyville, Gold Flat, Selby Flat, while the ward in Cayoteville was as ambitious and pretending, asthe central ward itself. It boasted then a Mayor, Common Council, Marshal and Police, City Attorney and Recorder, and all other officers necessary for a city government and sufficient to plunge it into debt which to this day remains unpaid. Stirring times then and hard, hard, becalse scores were just coming from the famous Gold Lake expedition, penniless and disgusted. It was from one of those Gold Lake adventures I first learned the meaning of the word “strapped”—-hard also, because many of the diggings were not paying anything like the fabulous rates of 49 and ’50. Men got angry and sold their claims because they were not turning out more than an ounce per day to the hand; hard be. cause the great fire of March 11th had . just swept over the city, causing an en. ormous sacrifice of fortune, as well as of Office Main st. opposite Express offices. ——TERMS,.—— For ONE YRan—In ADVANCE....

Finally, that is, after years of mutual labors and interests, hopes and fears, suecesses and reverses, Joys and sorrows, friends and brethren, we must part ; must pronounce the sad and painful farewell. With me, it has been a household word these years. Many are the friends, during the last seven years, who have come to me one by one with this doleful word. Some, who had succeeded in bettering their fortunes, and glad their time had come toreturn. Seme, hopeless of doing any better than live, and anxious to return to their distant homes and live there. Some, disappointed altogether in their plans and expectations, and disgusted with the country, bound to other parts, to retrieve their losses, and some, ee 7 to leave furever the scenes of time, for . ‘ that bourne whence no travellér ever re.

There isa history at gives it importance ; it is the word 3 that giv S 1 impor ae ee a when I applied to them for a church subif friends, and . cen of their friendoe : ‘ f frie nds, and the token of th scription. I remember how Ad. Smith ship. came to the Hotel and invited some of The apostle Paul, we are told “first the ladies, as a matter of special favor to them, to go over and see and admire his new saloon before he opened those fine glass stained doors for the benefit of tie vulgar herd, and [remember how the ladies went and admired it. Scott of the Empire envied his rivals, but then he too was respectable. Dr. Brown, was not only very rich but reputed to bea very honorable gambler honorable no doubt, as aman once said tome with all gravity, that Tom Bell was tke most honorable robber he had ever seen or known in the country. The names of such men as Scott, Barker, Lovell, Sandy Brown, such places as Exchange, Empire, Bella Union—how they bring up the murderous exercises and scenes of our first years. Were it not for the reality of the terrible havoc of character and morals and life that must forever remain associated with them it would seem like a dream that is past, like a sleep when a man awaketh. In that same month a religious society was organized, chiefly for the purpose of building a church edifice. Horace Everett of Charlestown, Mass., was President, and Dr. Dexter.Clark of Rockford, Illinois, Treasurer. There was no church organization here then A class of the M. E.C. and one of the Methodist South church held occasional meetings while a Gold Flat miuer preached to themonthe Sabbath. Dr. Clark as nearly asI can recollect was the only professional man that pretended to adhere strictly to his profession. Lawyers, Physicians and Preachers, were all of them for a time, miners or traders. Law, Medicine and Gospel were simply incidentals, they came into important note however very soon after. The building of the church commencHe was then on his way from Macedonia to Hle had passed some time at Athens, where he had preached the Gospel, but not with such suecess as to warrant him to remain there, or to orvisited Corinth, in the year 452.” Jerusalem. ganize a church. He came to Corinth and found Aquila and Triscilla, who had lately arrivedfrom Rome. Upon the arrival of Silasand Timothy, Paul entered on the great work of preaching the Gospel in that splendid and dissipated city. His embarrassments and discouragements were such, as almost drove him from the place—but in the midst of them all, he was met by a gracious promise of the Lord that He would be with him, and would not leave him, and that it was his purpose to collect a church there. In thiscity Paul remained 18 months preaching without mclestation. After a while opposition arose, but it is believed that the very leader of this opposition was soon after converted. In due time a church was organized which soon became the most famous of all the apostolical churches. Of course it is easy to believe that he loved the church, and that too intensely. His labors had not been in vain, his love not altogether unrequited, and his farewell, has all the force and tenderness of feeling which pertains to a genuine sincere Christian friendship. His life had been devoted to the “care of all the churches”—he had planted and trained them—and as the time came to bid them farewell, we can better imagine than describe the feelings, that wrought in his soul the conflict and pain of separation. Nothing is more touching and full than the farewell the scene at Ephesus—no . . i a ed in June, and it stood on this very spot surrounded by lofty evergreen pines, which gave it quite a forest like appearance. In September, the church .was done ; a full and crowded house, met together for a joyful and delightful d cation. The same day the church was organized, the first church north of Sacramento city, and perhaps the first in the mountains and mines of California The membership was 21. One lady, the rest men. Of it, it may be said and truly it was a membership for the times. A more harmonious efficient and examplary church, from the dnftings of so many churches, could not I think be gathered together again. In February the entire debt was paid off chiefly by the Ladies, who by their efforts raised $2,700. In April ’52 I was installed in due form as Pastor. from my arrival to my installation, what of the times? Indeed that year will ever be along. long remembered year. We worshipped till we had a louse of our own, in the Dramatic Hall on Broad street, by permission of Dr. Robinson. The Theaire at night however had always by far the largest crowd. The Sabbath was the day of days not for worship and spiritual refreshings however. With the exception ofthe 4th of July 1851, bull and bear fights, theatrieal exhibitions, cireus performances, all paid better on the Sabbath than any other day. Merchants sold four times as many goods, bankers bought their biggest lots of dust, boarding houses were literally crowded from morning till night, washing and sewing in the cabins, done up for the week, spreeing and carousing keptin ebeyance for the Sabbath, The Sabbath was the set time fer the pandemonium of passion, pleasure and gain, to train and tear. Dark, dark, times indeed—times that tried men’s souls, that gave all men a chance to shew themselves out to appear as they were in fact. No wonder families did not feel at home here, they did not wish to bring up little children amid such horrid degeneracy, and unblushing wickedness. Society was just divided into two classes, those who were actually going, and those who were intending to go away as soon as possible. ‘There was but little confidence in the mines, quartz was set down asa humbug, and placer diggings about used up. it worth their while to buy Sunday clothes it was throwing money away, white shirts were useless. It may seem strange and almost incredible to those who have been here but a short time to hear the narrative of those times. It may cause such to inquire what could have inducedjmen to think of such things as churches? pray, what chances of success, what ground of hope at all for reformation or cizilization ? Well, in that year, two churches were organized and twochurch buildings dedicated. A day school and Sabbath school were opened for the children, and a press, the Nevapa JouRNAL was established, and since then how many interests have risen up to mark our progress, and how many have gone down, some to some to show poverty compared with former years. Another press, four churches, three show improvement, Sabbath Schools, 2 divisions of the order of the Sons of ‘Temperance, public and private schools, eleemosynary societies, a library association, hospitals factories, mills, the triumphs of laws, and the benignant presence of the religion of the Gospel. There are houses now, cottages with neat and green surroundings shew the longing of the heart for rest, and its settlement into rest. We have not the flush times of °51, ’52 and ’53, neither have we the intense waste and recklessness that characterizthem. We have not thethronged and illuminated saloons. The law has exter, minated them, a law that came with the progressive pressure of moral feeling and opinion; this backed up the law. We have not the barbarous sports of Lovell’s ring; before the law passed the Legislature the miners razeed poor Charley’s hopes, as the freshet wrecked and carried off his memorable Jenny Lind. We have not the wealthiest city in the mines, we might have had but six fires have proved more than our match, five consumed property, the last and sixth wasted our confidence; it has done damage more by breaking up our intentions, upsetting our plans, making us uneasy, unsettled, tolook some where else for a home, than if it had only burned five times the property it did. This feeling is bound to exist, it is bound tokeep families and capitaiists away, until waterworks, fire companies, &c. guarantee some safety against these dreadful fires. To build up to-day is to prepare to burn down to-morrow, but on this topic I refer you for further thoughts to the Nevapa JouRNAL and to the man who has been lifting up his voice like a trumpet since July ’56, to do something or other which will give you the upper hand in times of fire. But all this time,’ Men did not thinkour feebleness or our eee ST THE.NEVADA. NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY MORNING, J UN E 25, 1858, We have not now, dashing and crazy Sabbaths of 51, thank God. Ifnothing else but this partial restoration of the idea of rest on one day in seven had been accomplished, this would have been ough to repay the years of anxious yer and effort. You remember some of you the first meeting in the old church in ’53, to request the merehants to close on the Sabbath promising our patronage to those whodid. A day of smail things ; then the agreements and disagreements of the merchants about closing, then the petitions to the Council, then to the Legislature for three yearsin succession, how only inch by inch, the great work has progressed, till to day we rejoice in a quiet Sabbath, a Sabbath, some of you never expected to see, this side of the Rocky Mountains. Honor to the people, thanks to the good and shrewd sense of their representatives, not to their hearts remember, which gave way to the mandates of their “Sovereign Constituents,” and Praise to God, who in His good Providence overiuled in this matter. Wecan rest now and we can worship with no one to molest us. We have not so many exclusively professional politicians who for their own personal aggrandisement got up cliques and parties, fermenting the whole community with angry passions, sectional animosities. The day is over, and a man now is expected to have some merit if he applies for an office ; and one may say “North,” without standing in danger of his brains, or say “South,” and yet pass for something else than a fire eater, and a madman. In 1851 it was really a difficult work to persuade men to believe in the expediency or necessity of building churches in the mines—and it was no childs play to worry afew dollars for such an object: In footing up what has been done for churches, parsonages, ministers, missionary and bible societies, Sunday schools and religious interests of yarious sorts, by the people of this place, notwithstanding their numerons reverses, amounts to no less than $69,000—$69,000 in seven years. True most of the money has remained in this place and the people have not been materially impoverished in the end nevertheless it is a golden monument of praise to the public spirit and liberality of the people. But Lhave not time to dwell longer on all the events, changes and times that press on the recollections of my Nevada life. To think of the past it I first came here; men, places, times, have changed so completely, that I can only three remain. turn the windlass, has since filled the office of Attorney General of the State, and has quite distinguished himself in his profession—another who used to sell books, somewhat tinged with yellow covers—for three years has been a Disirict Judge, equal to any in the State for industry, executive ability and dispatch; the third is still pursuing the even tenor of his way—-breaking from it only once to figure as acandidate for the office of Of the whole tribe of Supreme Judge. Doctors only two, Knox § Overton, remain to remind us of pioneer days. ministers who have preached to you in different churches as stated, supplies fo1 a longer or a shorter time, I have counted 19, only two beside myself remain, to preach, we know not how soon, their farewell sermons. This church has renewed its membership twice since its organization. Of the original members, beside my family. only two remain. So it has been from the’ first; friends, acquaintances and strangers have kept coming and going, with the coming and going of every day. And here turn to the sad record ‘of your dead.— Weeping around the remains of a dear infant, of a beloved wife, husband or parent, I have stood with you, in prayer commending you to God for the consolations of the riches of his graces. Gathered around the coffin of the acquaintance and friend I have bowed with you, and then pointed your faith to Him, who is “the Resurrection and the life.” The dead, oh how many, taken off in the prime of life, in the gloryings of hope and in the full strength of manhood. How many strangers have lain down before youreyes, and you have gathered them to their long homes. I have preached funeral sermons over the, remains of 55 who died of sickness, of 17 who were stricken down in a moment without any warning. of 4 who by their own hands ended life and sought the refuge of the tomb, two who clutched to life but lost it in the throes and horrors

of a drunkard’s delirium; of 9 little children whose sleep I could not call death —they but reposed in the arms of Him who said ‘of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” How familiar to me and to many of you, the path to yonder graveyard. Only two above the age of 50 have I buried, the rest, nearly all of seems as if it was twenty years ago, that hardly reatize Iam in the same place. Of the host of lawyers that were here, One who used to Of SSS ST TSE TE SEE NE en ET will go no more there—but my thoughts oh, how often they’ll hover about and haunt with yours, the hill where the dead are crowding in. To them I have said farewell but not to forget them. My familiarity with death has not hardened me into insensibility; it warns me, does it you? But time fails me brethren, to dwell longer on these details of sorrow—on the changes that have come up so quick and in such throngs, breakinz up as it were the unity of life, making it seem more like a strange dream when one awaketh. Yes, seven years ago I came among you with all the rawness, inexperience, and unfitness of a student, fresh from the seminary. Though you had not much confidence or much care as to the work which brought me here, you were willing that I should have a chance and try the experiment. I had fair warning, that I should have to toil pretty much alone, and while you hoped or wished me success, you were not willing to risk your time or chances. Dr. Clark, himself aright-hand man gave me a hundred opine Os) Rade true respect of a thinking, intclligent ple, and now I can safely challenge you; who have known me the longest, that whatever you may say against mé to my face or behind my back, you cannot say that I came here to bé rich, or to be popular—that you never knew where to find me. The chief, uppermost and controlling wish of my soul has been your well-being and happiness. I have labored for it more than for mine. Your good name I have cherished and loved as dearly as a mother her daughter’s. In your prosperity I have been glad, and your afflictions all of them have filled me with sorrow, and therefore, itis with no ordinary feeling that I say to you farewell. When I look back and see what has been accomplished—the progress and the po sition of many persons and things, I feel truly grateful—not a little encouraged and hopeful for the future. Hut when. I see how much has been left undone—how many opportunities have slipped away without improvement, how much more, incomparably more, might dollars, to be released from a note of . have been done, a feeling of pain and a few hundred which had his name, in connection with two or three others. But you have in my case verified the rule of helping those who help themselves, and whenI think of the many enterprises I have undertaken in your name, and in none have been left finally in the lurch, I cannot but feel a pride in a people whose prompt and generous impulses, have these many years justified every expectation, and earned to themselves a true and honorable name. Go where you please and under the sunyou will not find a people, taking all the circumstances together, more liberal, more free hearted and generous than this, and many places with ten times the ability not one-tenth part the heart and will. Your kinduess to my family, that night in which our little cottage on the hill was burnt, the heartiness with which you supplied the wants of my little children, then totally destitute of raimentand food, and the fact that in about 24 hours you had subscribed enough to erect over our heads, the spacious and beautiful home — beautiful to me and mine because the work. and gift of your true kindness, that now stands on the ruins of the old, we never shall forget it. In any time of future trouble and calamity we may wish ourselves in it again, in any time of future prosperity, though it far surpasses the joys we have known with you, our thoughts will often revisit the home where so many’pleasant, friendly reunions with friends and people were enjoyed. I feel deeply also, the patience with which you have borne with my blunders —the charity with which you have covered my weaknesses and my faults, and indeed I bow in profound recognition, admiration and gratitude, at the fortitude with which you have stood my incessant begging. From the first I have been almost a professional beggar. My face in the street hag been equivalent to a demand for more or less of your money, for some object or other. A long time ago I voted myself a bore, and wondered the people did not drive me off. Show me another minister who has begged in propria persona, and by indirect means, some $10,000 in the same time from the same persons and I think I will show you aman who has been driven from the face of his fellows; but you have endured me. Let me advise you in mercy to future ministers to pass alaw forbidding them to Leg aé all, it will be better for him and better for you, Asa general rule jéfe less a minister has to do with d ng his people, the more he wiJeffo for the people, both in and out of the pulpit. To this part of my life Inow most devoutly and conscientiously say farewell. In bidding you farewell, I go with a conscience clear of this—of ever having tried to be popular. I have worked hard to do my duty and set before you the duty the example ofan upright Christian life, but I have never, not once trimmed to catch the popular breeze. I have made more of standing to my own convictions, than running after the praises ofmen. Ihave not shunned to declare the whole counsel of God. I have felt always the charge of souls. I have recognized and advocated God’s claims to your entire being—not excepting your politics or your business. I have seen many chances where by a few words of explanation and softening I could have won back alienated feelings, but when I found that the desire to be popular was the chief motive, J have refrained. I knew i was right. I knew my convictions were right. My principles were right and I could afford to stand by them till doomsday, and alone, if need be. I ‘could afford to keep my selfrespect—and cherish an honest purpose, even at the expense of the aversion and suspicion of a whole community. I knew the time might come when I would them at least not quite 35. Perhaps I have not only my self-respect but the repentance troubles my soul. I am constrained to ask your forgiveness that I have not, been more devoted to your soul’s salvation—that I have not been more earnest and simple in my lifeprayers and labors to compass your conversion to Christ, and your edifi¢ation in the hope of a blessedimmortality. 1 can see now, where I could havé done better and more—but all regrets that do not touch upon a future improvemert are unavailing, and now there is nothing left for you or me but to rédéem the time. I have preached to you not less than G00 sermons. I shall preach no more, the results will appear by and by, when we stand at the bar of God. 1 have aimed to preach by my life as well as by doctrine and precept—that preaching whether it has been a savor of life unto life or of death unto death, will be tevealed at the judgment. Oh impenitent friends, at parting with you how lremember that God has said there is no peace to the wicked. “Your consciences bear witness that you have had line upon line, precept upon precept. While 1 have lived among youl have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. I have warned you, reproved, rebuked and exhorted you with all long suffering and doctrin>. I have preached as a dying man to dying men and nowI must go away, perhaps to see you no more. I must take my farewell of you—Friday morning next [leave this place with all its interests and attachment, tne birth-piace of all my children but one—the graves of as dear friends as God ever gave to a minister —the home spot of as true hearted christians as ever rallied in a good cause—the place of my sucesses and my short comings, perhaps never to return toit as a home. Receive then all of you my brethren the word of exhortation from the lips of him whose voice has so often sounded an alarm and poured invitations in your ears, though I fear as to many, perhaps the most of you, without effect. My voice may never more be heard by you. O remember the invitations—forget not the threatenings I have urged and given. Heaven forbid that any of them should rise in jndgment against you another day. Now is the day of salvation. ‘To-day if ye will hear His voice harden not your hearts. I beseceh you once more, and perhaps oneo for all, in Christ’s stead “Be ye reconciled to God;” flee from the wrath to come; lay hold in the hope that is set before you; my work now is done; my message ended. Farewell, finally brethren, farewell; be perfect; be of good comfort; be of one mind; live in "peace, and the Ged of love and peace shall be with you; the Lord bless and keep thee; the Lord make his face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee; the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace. Amen.
