Obituary.

DEATH OF THE REV. DR. JOHNSTON.

It would be unjust to the memory of peculiar worth and benevolence, were we not particularly to advert to the character of this venerable Clergyman, who died on the 5th of July last. He was the second son of the Rev. Mr Johnston of Arngask, Fifeshire, and the maternal grandson of the Rev. Mr Williamson, St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh: his youth was sedulously devoted, under the influence of early piety, to the studies connected with the same high and important office which these, his near relatives, so honourably filled. After being ordained Minister of Langton, in Berwickshire, where he remained about six years, he was chosen to the Church and Parish of North Leith; and, during the long period of his life and ministry there, never did any of his people regret his appointment to so important a charge. On the contrary, the warmth of his attachments, the conscientiousness of his integrity, the ardour of his benevolence, and the consistency and the estimableness of his whole conduct as a minister, a Christian, a citizen, and a friend, ever secured for him their affection and esteem.

The simplicity and earnestness of his public ministrations, in preaching the doctrines, and enforcing the duties of the Gospel, and the diligence and fidelity with which he equally discharged, so long a she was able, the private functions of the ministry, in catechising his people, visiting them from house to house, and attending their beds of sickness and death, commended him to all who knew him as one who had his divine Master's work, and the spiritual welfare of the people, most sincerely at heart. Their interests, temporal as well as spiritual, besides, he felt as if they had been his own; and long will it be remembered, that, in this respect, to many a widow he was as a husband, to many an orphan as a father, to many of the destitute and helpless, a steward of Heaven's bounty, their protector, and patron, and support.

The activity and extent of his public benevolence are so well known to all in this vicinity, that it is scarcely necessary to particularise them. This, indeed, we should have no small difficulty in attempting, for there were few, if any, charitable institutions, not in Leith only, but in Edinburgh, whether they had for their object the relief of the temporal wants and calamities, or the ameliorating the spiritual condition of his fellow men, to which he did not promptly and liberally contribute, not of his substance only, but so long as he was able, of his time and influence, and other talents. When he heard of any case of distress, in short, he could not rest till he had done something, if possible, to remove or alleviate it;

and numberless, as well as indefatigable, were his personal exhortations and solicitations to others in behalf both of individuals and of institutions, whose resources were straitened, or required more abundant supplies. In the establishment and success of the Asylum in Edinburgh for the Industrious Blind, of which he will ever be regarded as the revered and beneficent founder, the funds of which he may justly be said to have created by his own unremitted zeal, and to the personal superintendence of which he, for many years, dedicated a portion of every day, though he had to come to it from his own house in Leith, he has left a monument behind him far more precious and durable than any column, even of marble, could present-a monument of gratitude in the hearts of many, who, though deprived of the light of day, have been trained to useful industry and virtue, and had their minds enlightened with the beams of divine and saving truth-a monument of great and extensive beneficence, which will perpetuate his memory, and, we trust, continue to increase in its power of doing good to many, for generations to come.

For several years before his death, though not till after he had reached an age considerably beyond the ordinary days of the life of man, and thus had survived almost all his early contemporaries, it was evident to his friends that his mind became gradually enfeebled, even when his bodily vigour was scarcely impaired. It was his memory, however, chiefly, that had lost its strength; his affections were not less warm, nor his concern for the good of others less ardent. In the kind attentions, and stated public services of his Assistant, and now his Successor, Dr Ireland, he found every thing he could have wished to relieve him from anxiety, as to parochial duties, and in those of his attached private friends he experienced every comfort that he could enjoy. Of a large family, but one daughter survives him; and while he was to her every thing that a father, she was to him all that a daughter, could be.

The last public service which he performed was addressing the communicants in his own church, at the second table, in the month of April last, when he was within a few days of completing his ninetieth year; and even, at last, his death was by no means anticipated; but it found him in an attitude the most desirable and enviable-that of prayer to that God whom he had served so industriously in the Gospel of his Son, for a period of nearly sixty-six years, and by whom he was, without almost a bodily pang or struggle, called to enter into the rest that remains in Heaven.

On Thursday, the 8th, his remains were follow

ed to the grave by nearly five hundred persons, among whom were many, not of his congregation only, but of the most distinguished citizens of Edinburgh as well as Leith; while the interesting objects of his peculiar care, the inmates and pensioners of the Asylum for the Blind, lined the ac

cess to it, in the church-yard, and an unusual crowd of spectators were assembled to witness the solemn scene. "The memory of the righteous is blessed; yea, the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance."

DEATH OF THE REV.

The Reverend Thomas Fleming, D. D., one of the ministers of this city, died on the evening of Monday the 19th of July, at his house in George's Square, Edinburgh, after a severe and protracted illness, which he bore with much Christian patience. We cannot, however, allow this event to pass with a bare notification of its occurrence.

Dr Fleming was gifted with no ordinary intellectual powers, and these were improved by the most assiduous cultivation, and the most enlarged intercourse with mankind. His understanding was vigorous and comprehensive-patiently surveying the subject before it in all its bearings and relations. His judgment was sound, unwavering, discriminating; separating, with the most perfect exactness, every thing extraneous from the object of contemplation, and surveying it, isolated and alone, with a keen and discerning eye. He indeed particularly excelled in the reasoning facultyhis mind seemed to possess an instinctive facility in disentangling the mazes of an intricate subject, and placing the point of difficulty in so clear a light, that every eye might behold it.

His intercourse with mankind was most varied and extensive; and the object of this intercourse was, that, by a knowledge of our common nature, his discriminating mind might with the greater efficiency administer to the cure of its evils. His knowledge of human nature was accordingly very great. This feature in his character was, perhaps to a common eye, the most remarkable of any. We indeed have often been astonished at the discrimination he evinced in the estimation of character-he seemed to perceive, as if by intuition, the very characteristic point in an individual, without the aid of those manifestations so indispensable to common minds.

With such qualifications, it need not seem wonderful that his co-operation was solicited, where a discriminating judgment and an enlarged experience could be of avail. And this co-operation was ever most readily given. He possessed other qualities, however, without which those we already have mentioned, high as they were, would fail in commanding our full esteem. The qualities of the heart were possessed by Dr Fleming in as high perfection as those of the understanding. His character beamed with the sentiments of benevolence and honour. Above all the other qualities, perhaps, by which he was distinguished, his conscientiousness predominated. This was, in fact, the very pivot on which his mind turned. He not only adhered to what was right-he revolted even at an approximation to impropriety. Nor was the operation of this associated with austerity. It was mellowed by the kindness of his heart. His friendship accordingly was constant, affectionate, and sincere. His counsel was ever most readily and freely given; and many are those who, in the combined exercise of his kindness and his wisdom, have found a solution of all their difficulties. This was no where more remarkable than in the management of the public charities of Edinburgh. In most of these he took an active share. His advice was deemed of the highest moment; and even his opponents yielded it the tribute of their unqualified respect, because they were satisfied that it was the result of clear discernment, combined with the strictest integrity, that shrunk with abhorrence from an association with dishonour. Talent and merit he ever encouraged; it was the joy of his heart to see their possessors meet with their appropriate rewards.

But there was an ulterior object to which all his endowments, both natural and acquired, were made subservient. He was a minister of Christ, and his aim through life was, that he might be honoured as an instrument for the diffusion of the Gospel. Keenly alive to the best interests of man, and convinced that Christianity is the most effectual means of promoting them, he cordially engaged in the measures concerted for extending

THOMAS FLEMING, D.D.

Nor

religious blessings to other nations, and laboured with unwearied assiduity that they might have their full effect on his own. His professional knowledge was at once extensive and accurate, the result of patient research and mature reflection. He studied the Scriptures, as the source at once from which he was to draw materials for the instruction of his people, and by which his own mind might be nerved for duty and for suffering. He was a man of God-habitually living under a sense of his inspection, and of the accountability he was under for the trust he had received. did this cast a gloom over his character; on the contrary, it shed a beauteous lustre over all. It shed its influence on every point in his character, so that the beholder might see it had received an impress from on high. It was a privilege to be admitted to his private intercourse. In the free unembarrassed ease of conversation, his mind poured forth her copious treasures, and ever and anon you were reminded what a raciness and zest it adds to the discourse when the great truths of the Gospel shed their influence over it; and when it is not held irrelevant to talk of the Almighty, while surveying those wonders which his hand has wrought.

He was called to preside over four successive congregations, and was most affectionately and sincerely regretted by them all-and it is not to be wondered at. He was anxious for their welfare. He had, indeed, a higher Master, and if approved by him, it was " a small thing to be judged of man's judgment;" but he yet acted on the maxim, that a minister to be useful, must be acceptable; and his whole pastoral life, of 14 years, was a living testimony to the efficacy of its application. His pulpit instructions bore the visible impress of his characteristic qualities. He ever maintained, that man is by nature a child of corruption and sin, and that his maladies are incurable, unless the Great Pysician shall apply his healing balm. His knowledge of human nature, aided by that spiritual perception which higher endowments enabled him to gain, qualified him to detect the secret workings of the heart, and to show how appropriate the remedy is for the removal of its distresses. His views of a subject were comprehensive and clear-his illustrations rich, varied, apposite-and the application of all, to the character and conscience of his hearers, powerful, affectionate, discriminating. His devotional exercises were remarkable for the variety and felicity both of their sentiment and expression; and for combining, in an appropriate mode of supplication, thoughts and emotions that pass through the minds of all, but that few are able to embody in words.

The last scene of his life was in the highest degree interesting. For many months, indeed, before, he was convinced that his days were drawing to a close; and he surveyed the event with that calmness and magnanimity which faith in a Redeemer alone can inspire. He experienced much bodily suffering, but never uttered a murmur. His mental faculties continued unimpaired to the last; and the full and confident hope of felicity shed its mellow and sanctifying influence over them. He blessed his family-he prayed for them -he prayed for his friends-he prayed for his people, that the Lord would grant them a pastor according to his own heart, who should be to them for a blessing and a joy. And at the very verge of time, testified how unchangeable had been the faithfulness and how unwearied the affection of his Redeemer. It was a blessed thing to see this faithful servant of the Lord at the very end of his journey, as he retraced those steps by which Providence had led him, ascribing all his blessings to the operation of free grace; and trusting most confidingly, that the same loving kindness, of which he had ever been the object, never would abandon him till it placed him in glory.
