MR. PETER LILLIE
DIED AT THE SOUTH LODGE OF LANGTON HOUSE, NEAR DUNSE,
ON THE 26th ULTIMO.
In the 94th Year of his Age.
----------------oOo----------------
He lived to see his children’s children of the third generation, and to
be the head of a family numbering more than five score persons. Though
somewhat bowed together in his latter years, he displayed considerable
bodily vigour till within a year of his death, and retained the
unimpaired use of his mental faculties to the last. Posessed of a good
share of acuteness, and pretty extensively acquanted, for a person of
his humble rank of life, with the men, and manners, and events of local
interest, which belonged to the past two generations, his conversation
on general topics, always sensible, was frequently amusing and
instructive; while a sensitive shrinking from whatever was mean, a
strict integrity, and a general consistency and solidity of character,
secured for him the respect of a wide circle of acquaintances. For
upwards of forty-eight years he was an elder of the church; and during
that time he discharged his official duties with a punctuality and
fidelity highly exemplary. At the disruption he cast in his lot those
who renounced the advantages of an establishment, because they could be
enjoyed no longer without, “ dishonour done to Christ’s
crown, and the rejection of His sole and supreme authority in the
church.” His adherence to the Free Church was the result of a thorough
persuasion of the righteousness of it’s cause, founded on a clear
understanding of the grand principles involved in the conflict; and his
attachment to that Church, augmented with the growing conviction of the
important bearing of its existence upon the maintenance of the truth as
it is in Jesus, and the spread of the pure gospel. Living under the
power of the doctrines of grace, and much in communion with his God,
his piety gradualy deepened, diffusing its hallowed influence more
perceptably over his spirit as he drew near the confines of the eternal
world; and having served his generation, he calmly fell asleep, looking
steadfastly unto Jesus, on whose atonement he rested his whole hope of
acceptance with God.
1st February, 1854.
