of God to enlighten the blinded, to guide the erring and to save the lost.
Christian respect and affection have ordered a tomb-stone to be erected at the grave of Jacob, to bear the following inscription:
JACOB HODGES,
an african negro,
Born to poverty and ignorance
Early tempted to sin by designing and wicked men
Once condemned as a felon:
Converted by the grace of God, in prison;
Lived many years a consistent and useful Christian.
Died, Feb. 1842,
In the faith of the gospel.
Aged about 80 years.
THE END.
