THE REV MR HELM
(Communicated)
On the 22nd March the body of the late Mr. HELM, for many years Missionary of the London Society at the Zuur Braak, in the Swellendam Division, was interred at that Institution. The inhabitants had expressed a strong desire that the mortal remains of their lamented minister might be removed from Pacalta Dorp, where he died exactly a year ago, and be buried in the churchyard of the Institution at which he had so long and so successfully laboured. They offered, at the same time, to bear any expenses consequent upon the removal, so that the relatives could not but give their consent to such a reasonable request, and thereby allow the inhabitants the gratification of manifesting their last token of respect to the man who, under God, had been a blessing to so many of them. The Rev Dr ROBERTSON, of Swellendam, conducted the religious services and took for his text Acts 11 v 24, containing words than which none more appropriate could have been selected to describe the character of the deceased: “For he was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord”. The church was crowded and at the conclusion of the service the whole assembly, amounting to about 500 persons, followed the funeral procession to the grave, where a very appropriate prayer was offered up by the Rev Mr. PRIETSCH of the Berlin Missionary Society.
