MEMOIRS

OF THE

REV. RICHARD WHATCOAT,

LATE BISHOP

OF THE

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

BY WILLIAM PHE BUS, M.D.

* Smitten friends are angels sont on errands full of love;

For us they languish, and for us they die:
And shall they languish, shall they die in vain ?
Ungrateful, shall we grieve their hov'ring shades,
Which wait the revolution in our heart ?
Shall we disdain their silent, sott address,
Their posthumous advice, and pious prayer ?" Young.
