MEMOIRS

1. Rev. Johs Ercanbrack died at his residence, in Bronson, Mich.,

March 7, 1852, aged sixty-one years and eleven months.

He was converted to God in early life, and joined the M. E.

Church. He entered the Christian ministry in 1817, and continued

in the same until death.

In his various fields of labor, and in the different stations which he

occupied in the Church of God, he acquitted himself honorably and

usefully ; and his name is as ointment poured forth. Few men in

western Michigan have been more beloved than this venerable Father

in Israel. He emphatically loved to preach the gospel. He died in

peace and holy triumph. May his mantle fall on the surviving mem-

bers of the Michigan Conference.

Jodson Dwight Colliks, Superintendent of the China Mission,

was born in the town of Rose, Wayne Co., N. Y., and came to Michi-

gan when eight years of age. He was blessed with an early religious

education, which secured his youth from vicious habits, and eventua-

ted in his conversion, under the gospel ministrations of Rev. E. H.

Richer, at the age of fourteen, when he united with the M. E.

Church. Love of learning seemed to be an inherent principle of his

nature, and manifested itself in persevering, successful efforts to obtain

a sound collegiate education. He entered the Michigan University at

its first organization, in 1841, and graduated with high honor with its

first class in 1845. In college he maintained his christian integrity,

and, by his uniform piety, his well-governed life, and consistent efforts

to promote the interests of religion, commanded the respect and ex*

cited the admiration of his friends and associates. He labored

efficiently as Bible Distributor, S. S. Superintendent, Class Leader,

Exhorter, and Local Preacher. He was received on trial in the Michi-

gan Conference, in Sept. 1845, and appointed a teacher in the Wes-

leyan Seminary at Albion. At the session of Conference in 1846, he

was sent to Tompkins circuit with the expectation of receiving an

appointment as Missionary to China, which he did in the spring of

1847, when he immediately set out for the scene of his future

labors, where he arrived in August of that year. During three

years and nine months, which comprised the time of his stay in China,

he devoted himself to his work with a zeal and earnestness that knew

no limits, but his ability and strength. But his robust and vigorous

constitution yielded to the unfriendly influences of the climate, and a

severe attack of disease brought him nigh to the grave, so that when

the state of lis health permitted it, in accordance with medical advice,

he returned to his native land—to regain his health, as he fondly

hoped, for the prosecution of his work in that great empire of idola-

try, but, alas! to suffer and die. He reached Michigan in time to

visit his brethren of the Conference at the session of 1851, when the

entire change wrought.in his appearance, bis emaciated looks, and

above all the joy and tenderness with which he greeted them, melted

them to tears. For eight months he patiently suffered the will of

God, though his grief at the thought that he could no more return to

China to prosecute his missionary labors, was more painful than the

prospect of death, and, in May, 1952, at his father's house, in Lyndon,

Washtenaw Co., Mich., surrounded by his friends, and amid the sweet

associations of home, he quietly passed away from the scenes and toils

of earth to the infinite rewards and felicities of Heaven, at the early

age of twenty-eight.

Bro. Collins was a man strong both in his bodily and mental consti-

tution. His self-preparation for life's earnest work included physical

as well as intellectual training. His understanding was clear, sound,

powerful, though not rapid, in its action. His reflection and reasoning

faculties were searching and comprehensive, ever reaching after prin-

ciples and tracing out their connections. His conversational powers

eminently qualified him for imparting knowledge, indicating in their

action logical thought and accurate perceptions, rather than descriptive

fancy and rhetorical abilities. His speech was instructive rather than

amusing, his language argumentative rather than eloquent The en-

tire structure of his mind was Saxon and philosophic, positive in its

qualities and high-toned in its sentiments. His capacities, in a word,

were those of thought, of reason, of energy, of action.

Bro. Coilins' religious character was of the highest order, combining

the noblest principles with the purest affections. His was a manly,

cheerful piety, an unwavering integrity of purpose, a lofty aim and end

of action, harmonious attributes of excellence, elevated conceptions of

duty, a heart fixed upon the cross, and a life radiant with purity. His

christian love was rich in its elements, essentially missionary in its

character, intense and regular in its action; and his christian faith was

simple and majestic, allying his existence in blissful fellowship with

the infinite existence of Jehovah-Jbsus. His goodness of heart was

truly great and fruitful of all active virtues. In him was not only a

bare rational perception, but also a real consciousness of the " beauty

of holiness."

As a man, he was manly; as a christian, he was Christ-like; as a

minister, though youthful, he yet possessed elements of great ability

and usefulness, and, as a missionary, he was a model. Having a stout

physical frame, a richly-endowed, well-balanced, cultivated mind, and

a temperament susceptible of warm and high emotions yet singularly

free from rashness and excitement, had he lived to develop his mind

and character in the missionary work, he would have been a star of

the first magnitude in the dark heavens of China. Years before our

Church established her mission there, and while prosecuting his colle-

giate studies, he pursued a course of reading on China preparatory to

a whole life of missiouary labor among its benighted millions, and his

mind had no rest until it was actually surrounded by their darkness

and misery. No temporary impulse led him thither, no transient fer-

vid feelings urged him to a life of toil in that distant land, but a per-

manent conviction of duty possessed his mind, one great idea of su- •

preme service to Christ controlled his whole existence, and carried all

his thoughts, all his affections, all his impulses, to that extensive terri-

tory of heathenism, and his martyr-like attachments to his work were

only loosened by death—to be transferred from the cross to a crown of

righteousness. In the very embraces of death, when Heaven was

opening its glories upon his mind, his heart was with his brethren in

that vast field of missions—he preferred to die where he so earnestly

desired to live. As a missionary, then, we embalm and cherish his

memory in our holiest recollections of human character and excellence.

While the truth and love of Christ dwell within us, in our heart of

hearts we will remember tijee, Judson Dwight Collins. Thy name

shall not perish, and thy beloved China shall be redeemed! Thanks

to the Infinite for the legacy of thy character and example to the

Michigan Conference.

Note.—It will be seen from the foregoing table, that several charges have not made

any report at all, and many more are very defective. Why is this ? Are there no

schools in the former, and are there no libraries in others, &a. 1 Or is it because

those who have had charge of them, hare not informed themselves in regard to them t

According to the resolutions adopted by the Conference, theso schools are regarded as

a great means for the renovation of the world. Whore can a minister accomplish

more good, with tho same expenditure of timo and labor, than in connection with a

Sabbath School? How can he hotter sccuro for himself a warm place in the affec-

tions of his people, than in his attention to their children in tho Sabbath School!

Surely, brethren, wo ought to giro sufficient attention to this matter, to secure, at

least, a full and accurate report each yoar. One other thing is manifest, and calls for

our careful attention—that is, the smallness of the reported number of conversions.

Why is this 1 Do not superintendents, teachers, and ministers labor for this direct

object 7

The amount contributed for tho Union is too small; besides, many charges have

done nothing at all. Cow.
