    LEVI WATERHOUSE who was born near New Mills ,
    Derbyshire, in 1811. His mother’s religious influence was
    gratefully acknowledged by him in his after life. He joined the
    Church in 1829. Yielding to the Divine call. He offered himself
    for the Ministry, and was sent to the Warringtom Circuit in
    1835. His preaching was rich in evangelical truth, and many
    conversions took place under the word. He laboured to dis-
    charge all the duties of his calling, and was a faithful minister
    of Jesus Christ. In all his Circuits God gave him the hearts
    of the people. He was greatly beloved out side our own Church;
    ministers and people held his name in honour. His piety was
    deep and constant. He was a man of prayer, and drew his
    power from Divine sources. The latest scene of his public
    effort was the Prayer-meeting. Even when his faculties were
    failing his prayers were mighty, and had power with God. He
    became a Supernumerary in 1880. The last few months of his
    life were passed under a deep mental cloud, but God was with
    him. That which had been his constant thought for many
    years still possessed him, and he was restlessly anxious to do
    the work of the Lord. The cloud was not permitted to remain.
    God mercifully released His servant. He died at Southport, on
    April 6th, 1886, in the seventy-fifth year of his age, and the
    fifty-first of his ministry.
