Justus MITCHELL
Grave
In memory of the Rev. Justus Mitchell, A. M., V. D. M., pastor of the Church of Christ in New Canaan, who died suddenly in the hour of sleep, 24lh Sept. A. D. 1806, in the 52d year of his age, and 25th of his ministry. In his death was lost to his consort an affectionate and beloved husband ; to his children a kind revered parent, counsellor and guide; to his flock a faithful, learned and venerated pastor; to the Church of Christ a bright ornament and example; to the poor a liberal benefactor ; to the disconsolate a comforter and friend.
In doctrine uncorrupt, in language plain,
And plain in manner, decent, solemn, chaste,
Affectionate in look, and much impress'd,
By him the violated law spoke out
Its thunders; and by him in strains as sweet
As angel's use, the gospel whisper'd peace.
