{% raw %}his decision and a dignity of Christian{% endraw %}
{% raw %}character which all felt and admired.{% endraw %}
{% raw %}After securing the entire confidence ol{% endraw %}
{% raw %}his Christian friends at Auburn, Jacob re{% endraw %}
{% raw %}moved to the village of Canandaigua, ana{% endraw %}
{% raw %}resided in the family of a widow lady,{% endraw %}
{% raw %}Mrs. M. Here he became connected with{% endraw %}
{% raw %}the church of which I was pastor.{% endraw %}
{% raw %}My acquaintance with him was now{% endraw %}
{% raw %}renewed, and I was accustomed to. see{% endraw %}
{% raw %}him almost daily, for several years. He{% endraw %}
{% raw %}often sought to manifest his interest in{% endraw %}
{% raw %}me and my family, by acts of kindness{% endraw %}
{% raw %}and labour, for which he would receive{% endraw %}
{% raw %}no compensation; feeling, as he said,{% endraw %}
{% raw %}that it was a privilege thus to serve{% endraw %}
{% raw %}Christ.{% endraw %}
{% raw %}He never associated with the people of{% endraw %}
{% raw %}his own colour, not because he was too{% endraw %}
{% raw %}proud, but because their ordinary habits{% endraw %}
{% raw %}of feeling and life did not at all correspond{% endraw %}
{% raw %}with his devotional desires, and the cur¬{% endraw %}
{% raw %}rent of his every-day thoughts and pur¬{% endraw %}
{% raw %}suits. He seemed to live at all times like{% endraw %}
{% raw %}one in constant communion with God,{% endraw %}
