AFTER mentioning the death of the Hon JOHN TREADWELL, in our number for Jan. last, we expressed a hope of giving some further notice of that gentleman in the succeeding number. We have not been able, however, to obtain the ne cessary information till the present time. The subject of this article was born at Ipswich, (Mass.) on the 20th of Sept. (OS) A.D. 1788. Having received a liberal education, he was graduated at Harvard College when about 20 years of age, and ordained a minister of the Gospel at Lynn, March 2nd, 1763. In this place he remained in the ministry just nineteen years. He removed to Ipswich in 1782, and afterwards to Salem in 1787, where he resided till his death. He was chosen to represent the town of Lynn, and afterwards the town of Salem, in the General Court for several years. In 1799 he was chosen a Senator for the county of Essex, to which office he was re-elected for several succeeding years, till he declined a re-election. He was appointed a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1798, and sustained the office daring the remainder of his life. In the public stations which he filled, he uniformly bore an honorable character. He was the steady friend of religion and of good men, and the enemy of wickedness in every shape. He bore open, unwavering testimony to the truth, aud was a decided reprover of the vicious. As a magistrate he served his country with strict integrity, and received the general approbation of his fellow citizens. He was one of the founders of the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and sustained the office of Vice-President from the formation of the Society till his death. He contributed to charitable purposes by his active exertions and prudent counsels, as well as by bestowing money. He devoted a stated portion of his income to charity of differ. ent kinds. One of his favorite means of doing good was the distribution of religious books. In selecting such as would be most useful, he examined them with great care and diligence His mind was much occupied in devising liberal things; and he took a deep interest in the support of all institutions, which have for their object the promulgation of the Gospel. The Rev. Mr. Worcester, of whose ⚫hurch and society he was a member, took notice of his death, in a sermon, from which we have obtained the liberty of extracting that part which related directly to his character. The sermon was from these words, 2 Tim. i, 12. Never theless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. The preacher enumerated some particulars, which were comprised in Paul's knowledge of Jesus Christ, and on the account of which the Apostle felt secure; considered what Paul had committed in trust to Christ; and stated the reason which he had not to be ashamed After several reflections on the subject, the preacher introduced the following observations which we transcribe as giving a more concise and satisfactory account of the religious character of the deceased, than we could give in any other way. "They only are truly wise and happy, who so believe in Christ, and so live, as not to be ashamed. "All who truly believe in Christ, and live habitually under the influence of faith, are as safe as was Paul. Their hopes rest on the same solid basis; from day to day they humbly commit their interests for eternity into the hands of the Almighty Redeemer; and come what may, whether afflictions, or reproaches, or temptations, they need not be ashamed. As the life which they live in the flesh is by the faith of the Son of God; who loved them and gave himself for them, they are prepared for any event; and even in view of approaching death, they may remain unshaken and undismayed, and triumph in a hope full of immortality. "All this, my brethren, you will permit me to say, I believe has been exemplified in the instance of a much respected member of this society and communicant with this church, whose mortal remains were committed to the tomb in the course of the past week. Of his character at large, which is known to you all, there is no occasion that I should speak particularly; nor would it be conformable to my estab lished custom; but to his Christian faith and hope, 1 deem it not only proper, but important, to bear on this occasion my public testimony; and this more especially as he was formerly a preacher of that Gospel, which I have it in charge constantly to testify and to honor. 1 feel myself warranted, then, to say, that the deceased Judge Treadwell, who so lately occupied a seat in this house, and at this table of the Lord, though he left the ministry, yet was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. Since my acquaintance with him, and especially within the last two years, he has opened his mind to me with great freedom; and I know not how I could express his views of Christ and the Gospel, better than they have been expressed in the course of this discussion. He was a firm believer in the Divinity of the Savior, in the atonement by his blood, and justification exclusively by faith in him; and these doctrines, he affirmed with emphasis, were the ground of his confidence, and the source of his consolation. "I feel," he would repeatedly say, "I feel that I am drawing near my end, that I am upon the brink of the grave; and what. could I do without this foundation for my hope? Take away this, and all is gone." Though his death was sudden, we have reason to believe that he was not |
