At Portscatha, in the parish of Gerrans, on Friday last, the Rev. William JAMES, independent Minister. In the limited sphere of his exertions Mr. James was highly valued. Arrogating nothing, he proved himself a genuine imitator of the apostles. Without vanity or pretension he pursued his duties successfully. He relinquished his comforts, he impaired his health, and he seemed to enjoy but one luxury in this life - that of conveying divine truth over the threshold of the cottager's door, and importing instruction and peach to the lowly and ignorant. He commingled with the spiritually needy and destitute, and was the harbinger of truth, where it had been unknown. Poor in every thing but the spirit of religion, he diffused the light of the gospel, and penetrated the darkness that obscured the minds of many thankful hearts. His advent to their dwellings was truly apostolic in its character, he was the messenger of grace, and he moulded many types and impressions on their minds, that will record his matchless zeal and sincerity in the cause in which he was engaged, and in which he shone with a light that was seen from afar. He was universally beloved; in the chapel, in the school, by the road side, or at the sick man's couch, he became entwined around the best affections of the people.

"Ev'n children followed with endearing wile, And plucked his gown, to gain the good man's smile"

In his pulpit he was modest, diffident, and plain; as persuasion is the essence of oratory, he artlessly put forth the forcible eloquence of truth unadorned, and carried his hearers with him. He is now removed from his useful labours; he is gone to reap the reward of his faithful services in a sacred cause;- he has well discharged the fearful responsibilities of his office. He is lifted from a fervent disciple to a more exalted state of being. The gracious share of his virtues will remain in the breasts of his followers. They will ponder in reviewing his unpretending usefulness. But their poignant grief will receive mitigation in the balmy recollection, that no blot, no inconsistency ever tarnished his fame, his devout and undeviating solicitude was ever directed to their future welfare. He departed in the soothing calm of pious resignation. 'He had allured to better worlds, he now led the way.' His memory will be long cherished, and his example handed down for imitation in the favoured locality of his labours.
