We are disposed, in nature and
by nature, to cherish resentment and
seek revenge for wrongs done us,
and to excuse and even justify the
wrongs we do to others. The found
ation of this is priae, which nothing
short of a godly soi row for sin can re-
niovef never until a jK»or mortal has
seen and felt the guilt of his own
sinful nature and conduct, is he
humbled; never until he has seen
tliat he is ten thousand talents in
debt and has nothing to pay with,
but is frankly forgiven, is he truly
disposed to forgive others their petty
offences against him; for all offences
of one creature towards another are
nothing in comparison with our of
fences towards our Creator.
The Christian is taught forgive
ness by what is forgiven him, and
is kept low, under a sense of contin
ual unworthiness, which constrains
him to ]>refer others to himself, and
disposes him to forgive them. He
can fellowship Christians better than
he can fellowship tpmself, and should
lie hate any one, Grod leaves him in
the prison of bondage, until he for
gives froi;n the heart.

OBITUARY.
Editors of the Landmarks :—By re
quest of the widowed sister, I send you
lor publication, the obituary notice of
her hursband, JAMES A. HOOKS,
who died of consumption, at his resi
dence, in Stuart county, Ga., October
-od, 1870, being 66 years and 7 months
old.
The writer of this article, was ac
quainted with Mr. Rooks for several
years, and althougli he was not a mem
ber of the church, yet he wtis a true
friend to the Primitive Baptists. He had
by industry and economy, accumulated
a sufficiency of this world’s goods, and
was very liberal in contributing to the
necessities of our ministers. As long
as his health would admit of it, he sel
dom ever failed to attend at the stated
meeting at Harmony, where his aged
companion was and is yet a member.
He sometimes seemed to enjoy the
])reaching, and his eyes were often tid
ed with tears. I conversed with Mr.
Rooks while on his death bed; he said
tliat he did not see his way as clearly
as he wished, but I learned from those
who were present at his death, that
shortly before lie fell asleep, the cloud
of darkness gave way and light broke
in on his soul, and he rejoiced in
hope. By request, I attended the
burial, and tried to preach from these
words: “O, death, where is thy sting,
(). grave, where is thy victory,” 1st Cor.
,55. His remains were deposi'ed in
tlie Lumpkin graveyard, where he will
will rest, until the resurrection day. He
ieavcs no children, but leaves an aged
conqianioii to mourn her loss. May she
ever liuve grace to sustain her in this
lier time of need.
