"For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." --2 Tim . 1:12. REV. JOHN HYATT died January 30, 1826, aged 59. Mr. Hyatt, at the time of his death, had been upwards of twenty years an associate minister with the Rev. Matthew Wilks, of the Tabernacle and Tottenham Court Chapel. As he lay at the point of death, his venerable colleague said to him, "Well, Brother Hyatt, I have sometimes heard you say, in the pulpit, that if you had a hundred souls, you could venture them all on Christ. Can you say so now?" The dying man, though nearly prostrated by disease, made an effort to speak, and with eyes sparkling with unearthly brilliancy, he replied, " A million! A MILLION !" and soon after expired, softly whispering, "If I could, I would sing aloud,-- all is peace. He hath made me an everlasting covenant. Happy! Happy! Happy!" Thine is an arm which omnipotence nerves, Thine is an eye which my wants all observes; Thine is a bosom so tender and kind, Sorrow finds welcome and favor divine. O Lord! so mighty, so faithful, and just, Millions of souls in thy hands I could trust; Enter death's valley and feel no alarm, Trusting with transport to thy guiding arm.
