OF THE LATE

REV. WILLIAM STEVENS BALCH

WITH AN OUTLINE OF

HIS WRITINGS AND DISCOURSES

AND

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND RECOLLECTIONS OF INCIDENTS,
TRAVELS AND CORRESPONDENCE, DURING

"His youth was innocent, his riper age

Marked with some act of goodness every day;

And watched with eyes that loved him, calm and sage,

Faded his late declining years away.

Meekly he gave his being up, and went

To share the holy rest that waits a life well spent."
