New Church, because they taught that all good is from God, who is love itself and goodness itself; and she lived a life in conformity with their teaching. Both she and her husband had been members of the church in this country, from which they emigrated some years ago.

Departed into the spiritual world, on September 11th, 1865, and in the 83rd year of his age, Mr. John Pegg, of Derby. Mr. Pegg was one of the few survivors of the King-street Society, when there were two societies in Derby. He was born at Tutbury, and after having suffered many vicissitudes in youth, came to Derby in 1803. The means by which his attention was first drawn to the heavenly doctrines of the New Jerusalem are sufficiently interesting to deserve notice, and which are thus feelingly described by his son (Mr. W. Pegg, leader of the Shakespeare-street Society, Nottingham):-" About the year 1820, his eldest son, then a boy of 11, earnestly solicited his father to allow him to go to Mr. Robinson's Sunday-school (then in Queen-street). With great reluctance he allowed him to leave the school he attended to go there. The boy was so delighted in the new sphere into which he was brought, that he would not let his father and mother have any peace until they went to their nice little chapel, and to hear the beautiful things that were taught there. They thought

it strange that a child should be so urgent in such things, and they went partly from curiosity; but so delighted were they with what they heard, that they felt it a very long week till the next Sunday came, that they might drink again at the same fountain. For a long time they were constant in their attendance, and they became members of the King-street society about the year 1822." For several years Mr. Pegg underwent many remarkable spiritual experiences, producing in himself peace, and on his family a deep impression. His end was expected by him; and though sudden at last, it found him ready to depart. One of the patriarchs of the church in Derby, there are many in the other life whom he will be glad to meet. An old man full of days, and trusting in the Redeemer God, his end was peace.

Departed this life, on Tuesday, Nov. 14th, aged 55 years, Mr. Charles Deacon, formerly of Hoxton, London, but latterly residing at Frome. He had been an affectionate member of the New Church ever since he was able to judge. For several years he and others sustained a small Sunday-school at Hoxton, but failing health prevented his labours in this way, and he attended Argyle-square. He was a humble-minded, worthy man; his delight was in the church, and his end was peace. J. B..
