AT his house at Clapham, Gospel, I know not what will. on Friday the 11th of September, Sir William Staines, knt. and alderman, well known to the public as having served all the offices of the Corporation of London with assiduity, fidelity, and great honour to himself and advantage to his fellow-citizens. He was first chosen commoncouncil-man of the ward of Cripplegate-without, and succeeded Mr. French as deputy, and was on the decease of the late Sir James Esdaile, in 1793, unanimously elected alderman of the ward of Cripplegate. The following is a brief sketch of his life and character, as delivered by Dr. Gregory, his chaplain during the mayoralty, at Cripplegate-church, on Sunday, Sept. 20, 1807. "There is no subject which is so likely to make a strong impression on the human mind, and to lead it to devout exercises and useful reflexions, as the consideration of our latter end. The shortness and uncertainty of human life, and the vast expanse of eternity which lies before us, inevitably accompany the thought, and if these will not produce in us pious sentiments and a practice conformable to the precepts of the Thus every funeral we behold is a practical lesson to all but the very thoughtless, and speaks. more forcibly to the heart than the most accomplished orator. Funeral sermons are at present much out of use, and are even disapproved by some good and judicious persons. It is true they have too frequently been made. mere offerings to human vanity, and the vehicles of false and disgusting panegyric-yet I think they might be employed to far nobler purposes. The virtues or the errors of the deceased might afford instruction to the rising generation, and the example of a good man in particular might be profitably held up for their imitation. If, as many have supposed, the spirits of just men made perfect, look occasionally down upon the things that are on earth, I am sure nothing would trouble more the spirit of our departed friend, than if a syllable was to be uttered from this place respecting his character, which was not perfectly consistent with that truth and simplicity which he venerated in life. I shall therefore, in what I have to advance on this topic, carefully avoid the very appearance. |
