of care, burdening his life with sorrows, and bearing reproach, and censure, and shame, for his Master's sake, and to build up the Church of the living God on earth, and our conviction has grown stronger in the power of faith and love to rule the human heart. Not one object to which Bishop Doane devoted his life, and sacrificed his earthly peace and comfort, had in it the taint of selfishness. Had he been a self-seeking, ambitious man, of a worldly mind and heart, he would have fled from the objects he pursued with such steadfast purpose. His truly Christian spirit was also shown by the manner in which he bore his peculiar trials, and the temper in which he met the worst of calumnies. He was no reviler, though too often reviled. He was never heard to speak evil of others, and his most severe rebukes were directed against this evil habit in others. As there has seldom been one more unjustly and injuriously spoken against, so twenty-six years of closest intimacy enable us to say, before God, that we never knew a man, who spoke less evil, or delighted more to speak well, of others.
