REV. DANIEL HACKNEY. Of Chatham county, N. C., departed this life on the 28th of December, 1884. He was born March 1st, 1803, and had, therefore, before he received the summons, nearly completed his eighty-second year of probation. He was baptized in 1823, into the fellowship of the church at Love's Creek, and from that till the time of his death, a period of three score years, he made his secular interest subservient to his religious duties. In all the relations of life, he was distinguished for his superior natural endowments. Being an active and intelligent business man, he, in the earlier part of his life, accumulated a handso~e, estate, which he employed liberally in promoting the cause of Chr~st. He was five times elected to the State Legislature, and during the ten years that he served in the capacity of a legislator, he displayed such judgment and foresight as gave him a-respectable prominence among his1colleagues. In 1869 or 1870, he was set apart, by ordination, to the full work of the gospel ministry. For many years he had been impressed with the duty of preaching the gospel, but had hesitated from a sense of his insufficiency for the work; and in later years, it was to him a source of regret that he had not taken up this cross in earlier life. His ministerial labors, though assumed late in life, were largely blessed to those to whom he ministered. He left a large family connection, among whom is the aged companion of his life's journey, who now lingers on the shore, waiting for the dividing of the waters. In his will, after providing for his family, he bequeathed one hundred dollars to the Orphan Asylum at Oxford, and also one hundred dollars to Dr. Yates' mission work in China. M. BALDWIN.

A SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND CHARACTER OF THE REV. DANIEL HACKNEY, DECEASED Rev. Daniel Hackney was born in Chatham county, N. C., March 1st, 1803, and departed this life December the 28th, 1884. He had therefore, before receiving the summons to depart, nearly attained to the age of eighty-two years. He was converted in 1823, and was soon thereafter baptized into the fellowship of the church at Love's Creek; and from that till the time of his death, was careful to make all his secular interests subordinate to his religious duties. In all the relations of life he was distinguished for his superior natural endowments and unswerving integrity. He once stated to the writer that, during ten years preceeding his conversion, no person was known to make a profession of religion within a territory of ten miles square; although the community was by no means destitute of the ministry of the Gospel. Immediately after his conversion a powerful work of grace pervaded that entire section and a large number of persons were brought to Christ. As showing the confidence which his youthful associates reposed in his integrity, it was a common remark among them that, "if Dan Hackney had made a profession of religion, there must be something in it." Being an active and intelligent business man, he, in the earlier part of his life, accumulated a handsome estate, which he liberally employed in promoting the cause of Christ. He was five times elected to the State Legislature, and during the several terms which he served in the capacity of a representative of the people, he acquired a respectable prominence among his colleagues, and gave much satisfaction to his constituents, by his judgment and foresight respecting questions relating to the public interest. In 1869 or 1870, he was set apart by ordination to the full work of the Gospel ministry; though he had been, several years previously, licensed by his church to preach. For many years he had been impressed with the duty of personally consecrating himself to the work of the ministry, but had hesitated from a sense of his insufficiency for so great a

His ministerial labors, though assumed after he was well advanced in age, were largely blessed to those to whom he ministered. In his will after providing for his family, he bequeathed one hundred dollars to the Orphan Asylum at Oxford, and, also, one hundred dollars to the Shanghai Mission in China. He left a large family connection, among whom, is the aged companion of his life's journey, who now lingers on the shore, waiting for the dividing of the waters. M. BALDWIN.
