• *comforting to the dying saint.About forty-six years ago, Col. McClana-han connected himself with the Presbyterian Church, under the ministry of Rev. Robert Logan, who was then the only Presbyterian minister in this part of the Valley. Soon afterwards lie was elected a ruling elder, the duties of which office he discharged with great fidelity, being “ready to every good work.” In him not only his own church, but the cause of Religion in its largest sense, has lost a most liberal friend. He was one of those “cheerful, givers” whom “the Lord loveth,” and was never weary in well doing. Long looked up to, and venerated as a Christian Patriarch, he has now “come to his grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season/* ,The circumstances of his death were such as we might expect from one who had kept , life’s highest and noblest end in view. Xo i one could be with him in his last days, and hear his expressions of humble, but unwavering trust in the Lord his Redeemer, without feeling that—“Tilt* • li.util er \'h -ir the «oolt;l uinn hum t* li » lute.Is pii.ikged bevuuil hi* wulk* lt;*i co.uu.on life.”
