Cart- wright, to accompany an engraving taken from a miniature likeness. The profits (if any) will be devoted to the Church of St. James, Stuartville ; a part of the sphere of his labor in which he took particular pleasure, and which, on that account, ought to be associated with his name. Feeling wholly inadequate to the affecting task, yet unwilling to decline it, in lowliness of mind I accept the proposal, trusting alone in that help from above without which all human efforts must fail, and with which the weakest may be useful. To the interesting Sermon preached by our ven- erable and greatly respected Archdeacon Stuart, on the death of Mr Cartwright, and to one other, am I indebted tor the outline of our beloved Minis- ter's early life ; a period of course less known, but one which I think cannot be read without pleasure and without profit, indicating as it does the bright promise of a Christian character which was so eminently fulfilled in later life, ^^i-- > ^ ; ;i:i^..»^r "The late Reverend Robert David Cartwright was the sixth and youngest son of the late Honora- ble Richard Cartwright, of distinguished talent and eminent character, whose name is enrolled among the Loyalists, the first settlers of this country. The deceased early in life discovered and gave indications of genius, accompanied by habits of industry and application." . With his twin brother he was deprived of the superintending care of his beloved and honored father at the age of ten years ; but they retained through life a vivid remembrance of the instructions and example received from him; and the ardent desire of emulating their father became in their minds a governing principle through life. The filial obedience they ever showed to their widowed mother was likewise a distinguishing trait of character, as well as that devoted love to each * "^ other which so remarkably characterized both. Even in their boyish days they were often seen in serious converse together; strengthening each other in good resolves, and laying plans for future life. Together they pursued their youthful studies ; nor were they ever separated till at the age of seventeen the subject of this Memoir quitted the maternal roof, and the society of his much loved brother, to seek the advantages of an English University education, preparatory to his admission to the Ministry. , .,.....,- , ,- :;.• ■ : , /-^^ ^c^-vst i^^f^^ On his arrival in Oxford he was for a time deeply oppressed by the desolate and lonely feelings of a stranger in a strange land ; but he soon found kin- dred spirits with whom to associate ; and his stu- dious habits freed him from the society of the gay and thoughtless, who, finding him proof against jeers and bantering, soon relinquished their attempts to draw him into scenes of dissipation, and left him undisturbed to the pursuits of science and the chosen friendship of a few of congenial tastes and habits, to whom he became bound by the enduring ties of Christian friendship, and with several of whom he continued to hold affectionate correspondence to the close of his life. Animated by the anxious desire 6 of giving pleasure to his beloved mother, he devoted himself with ardor to his classical and scientific pursuits ; and the gratification he expected it would give her to hear of his success became a more powerful stimulus to exertion than all the honors the University could offer. In the attainment of these he was not disappointed, but his beloved parent was not permitted to live to receive the tidings of his success. To his academical course he «ver looked back with warm and grateful feelings ; and often in after- life regretted the leisure he then enjoyed, when constrained by the pressure of incessant occupation to relinquish altogether those studies in which he had once delighted, and the abandonment of which, at the call of duty, formed no small portion of the ;self-denial to which ke was called. Whilst engaged in the pursuits of science in England, his beloved brother was passing through the painful scenes of attending on the dying beds 4>f their last remaining brother and the mother they so much loved. Oppressed and worn down wi^ long and anxious watching, ke sought for consola- tion by repairing to England to rejoin his beloved and Mily brother, and the sister to whom they were both fondly attached. The broken links of family affection now united them more closely than ever f and never were three of a family bound to eacb other by tenderer feelings of attachment. At the close of his academical course, whilst awaiting a nomination to a curacy, accompanied by his brother, he rejoined his sister, then travelling on the Continent on account of her husband's- health. It was a tour oflen recalled with gratifi. cation, especially the majestic scenery of Switzer«^ land ; and would have afforded unmingled pleasure but for the apprehensions that arose of scenes of approaching trial. He was recalled from these wanderings- by receiving the nomination to a curacy;; and T/hen he again met hi» beloved sister it was^ to mourn with her in her widowhood, and to ofier her all the consolation of a brother's love. The curacy of l^argrave, in Berkshire, to which he was nominated, was one in every way svited to his tastes and feelings. Lying on the fertile bank& of the Thames, it possessed all the charms of rural scenery ; and its cottage homes became endeared to him as the first scene of his Ministerial labors^ when in the first warmth of youthful fueling he devoted himself to his Savior^s cause. Nor were 8 the charms of literary society and Christian friend- ship wanting to render it a spot ever after hallowed to memory. In the family of his Vicar, the Revd, James Hitchings, he enjoyed the pleasures of literary as well as Christian converse ; and towards him in after-life he ever cherished the most deeply grateftil and aft*ectionate feelings. Nor were such feelings unreturned by the simple rural population around, nor by the kind and faithful friend whose counsels he so highly valued. A deep and lasting attachment was then formed which years of absence never efiaced, and which still lives in the hearts of some who then learned to appreciate the genuine kindness and tenderness of feeling which made him interested not only in the welfare of others, but in all their feelings and afiections ; and which, throughout life, rendered him beloved in every circle in which he mingled. Such were the scenes and occupations which, during seven years' abode in England, so endeared to him the land of his forefathers : but the call of duty summoned him to his native land, and he obeyed ■ that call with alacrity, though not without a deep sense of the sacrifices of personal ease and comfort he would be called on to endure. And can mm 9 it be wondered at, that memory sometime^ painfiiUy contrasted such scenes of rural quiet, of peaceful parochial labor and literary friendships, with the incessant toil and oflen harassing duties of a popu* lous frontier town in Canada, with its continually fluctuating inhabitants and its yearly iiiundations of impoverished emigrants. He felt the contrast^ yet h^s he left it on record, that the years of his Ministerial labors in Kingston were the happiest, because the most useful of his life : and such will be the record of all who truly lovi^ the Lord, To be permitted to 9hare in the sacred ie^liogs of Him << who for (he joy set before him (in the salvation of sinners) endured the cross, dispising the shame, will ever be a source of purer happiness than all that the wprld seeks after for enjoyment." }n 1832, Mf Cart WRIGHT, in addition to his parochial duties, was appointed Military Chaplain to the Forces. How he discharged this portion of his Ministry all who enjoyed the privilege of know- 'mg hiin will readily acknowledge. I came with my husband as a stranger to King- ston m t^e aimnmer of l?40, aftd h»d been there - but a few days when I heard the praises ^f Mr CARTwrJGHT as a fidthftil Minister of the Gospel. 10 „v I Soon was I to know him as the valued friend, the amiable and most engaging companion. '^ For a short time after our arrival he was absent ; and on referring to a journal dated in October, the first sermon we heard him preach was from the 46th Psalm : " God is our refuge." Improvingly did he enlarge upon the text, appl3ring it to the Mosaic law which commanded cities of refuge to be set apart for those who, without malice, were so unfortunate as to slay a man. Mr Cartwkight spoke of the earnest desires and strenuous efforts of the pursued to reach those gates of mercy; that when once within their walls he was safe from every harm. He compared this man with one who, awakened to a knowledge of his exceeding sinfulness, looks around him in de- spair for a place of refuge to flee unto, until through the grace and goodness of God he is shewn Jesus Christ as his hope, his fortress, his deliverer. - Mr Cartwric^ht peculiarly possessed the power of addressing the hearts of his people, and this in the most affectionate and earnest manner ; while from his consistent and bright example he clearly shewed how much his own ^^as engaged in the ^sacred trust committed to his charge. * vii' I ,.V ' II I His discourses were eminently suited to the understandings of his military congregation, in whom he took the warmest interest. Frequently would he introduce familiar allusions to illustrate a higher meaning : one I remember striking me as particularly beautiful, when he said : . " That as the bugle is heard above the din of battle, so should the voice of the Minister be heard above the war of human passions." y,40<^^f>^\^''''%^^^^ ;, .-' T- Never did he suffer an opportunity to pass, or a solemn event to occur, that he did not improve, by impressing it on the minds of his hearers : and many, too many, there were to record. At such times I have beheld him shed tears while dwelling on the painful subject of a sudden and an unpre- pared death. Indeed, so great was his tenderness of character, that his feelings were often tried too severely for his strength. He knew the worth of souls and the costliness of that sacrifice made to redeem them ; and his heart bled when the sinner was being ushered into the "dark valley" without the light that could guide him through its horrors, or land him in safety on the shores of a happy eternity. A Sermon of his upon the importance of making the Holy Scriptures our daily study is 12 unpresised on my memory from its beihg followed by the haprpiest residts to one who obeyed the injunctioiiy and has continued to obey it ever since. The text was from the l^th chapter of St. Marh^ the 24th verse : «(i ye not therefore err because ye know not the Scripturees neither the power of God.'' In taking leave of a Regiment how touching wa» his manner, aud how affectingly would he exhort them to become good soldiers of Christ. The arHval of another called forth an equal interest. I remember on one of these occasiond, after preaching Jesus as the foundation sto^e of religion, and of the Christian's hope, he feelingly clo^d his discourse by die remark, <« Hiat he might be called upon to perform the last sad duties for mitub of them, utd exhorted them not to postpc^ne repentance tintil the dread hour of death; that although there is hope even at the eleventh hour^ yet t6o often it eloses without a promise ; ifid the ouhi^ipy bundantly blessed; and may a crown of glory await tKe^e on thy departure from ibiB eaith." Offt that day he put into my hand a paper containing an invitation to united prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, on Satu^ay the first of January 1842* This was followed on another Sabbath by a Sermon, the text &om the 3d cl^tpter of St. J<^'s Gospel, 3d verse : « Jesus answered and said unto him, ^ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.' " Powerfully he appealed to the hearts of others, poweriully he felt himself^ closing with an earnest exhortation that those who called themselves Christians would pray fervently for tbe gift of the Holy Spirit, through- whose influence alone the mind can become renewed. Mr CA»Tiy|if GHT was particularly loyal in all his feelings ; and the numerous desertions among the soldiers froin this garrison caused him much concern. He preached a most interesting SermoD on the subject, explaining the wickedness of msUcing an oath, and then violating it ; enlarging upon the privileges of the soldier, his noble profession, f^ high responsibilities as the ^el^nder of his country^ 19 This was the last I ever heard from his lips, and was noted down in these words : « 4th Feb'y, 1842 : heard dear Mr Cabtwrioht's last Sermon Sunday 22d January. Oh Lord ! may his voice again be heard in thy holy temple." His voice was heard again; and those v(^o enjoyed the privilege of being present will doubt- less never forget the impression he n^ade : his text, from the 20th chapter of St. Matthew, part of the 2dd verse, seemed, indeed, prophetic of the near- liess of that event so long dreaded by others, but for which he was so well prepared himself. This Sermon has been generally read, and must be' known by numbers i^r and near: yet I cannot think that it will be considered inappropriate to introduce a few of the most striking passages here. As the dying words of one so beloved, can they be read too often ? " ■'' >fes#^f^^'-v5^^ - Mr Cart WRIGHT sur /ived not ta see the sum- mer : lower and lower waned the flickering lamp : feebler and feebler he became : yet he never was quite confined to the house, but continued occasion- ally to take the air when the weather permitted him. With the sweetest patience and resignation to the will of his Heavenly Father he bore his sufferings, even now entertaining hopes of being able to fulfil his intention of visiting Ireland. Sud- denly these were extinguished: another and a longer journey awaited him : the hour had come when this beloved and faithful Minister was to depart for his Heavenly home. Well was he pre- pared for the awful summons : the earthly taber- nacle was decaying and fallinig into ruins \ but tl^e spirit was ripe for glory. , It may be imagined by all those who were ac- quainted wi*h. this holy man what communings ■ i i ! f. ';■! ) ! .:. with his God took place in the hours of his retire- ment from the world, and ere the last pure flame became extinguished within his breast forever. A few of these precious thoughts, these blessed aspi- rations of a spirit hovering between earth and Heaven, it is my privilege to note down as follows : " Although he generally spoke with the apparent expectation of recovery, and certainly never realized the immediate approach of death, yet were his thoughts continually dwelling on the retrospect of the past, and on visions of the world to come. Death, judgment, and eternity, were never long absent from his mind ; and many a sleepless night was passed in calling his ways to remembrance, and reviewing his Ministerial life. More than once he said : < I feel now as I nevei did in my illness before : God is dealing with me face to lace, and bringing my ways to remembrance.' Once or twice during his illness he seemed much depressed ; but generally his frame of mind was calm and sub- dued. Solemn and deep thought occupied his soul, and continued meditation on the Word of God, which latterly was his only book. Few chapters were read with deeper interest than the 11th of 2d Corinthians. His thoughts dwelt much on the 27 retrospect of his Ministerial life ; and it afibrded him sweet consolation to enter into the Apostle's feelings. «* His conscience bore him testimony that he too might plead that « he had not walked in craftiness, nor handled the Word of God deceitfully." How applicable to him also were other portions of that chapter: "Death working in him; the outward man perishing, but the inward man renewed day by day;" "Light afflictions but for a moment, working a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." ■ ^-.K 4 %,,,:.. y^u^i... .:,.;^ ,;■,:,, ,,^.,.r: ^ " Yes, he was indeed preparing for the change that was rapidly approaching : silently but efiectu- ally were the ties that bound him to earth loosening and falling off: the last murmuring thoughts were quelled ; and the distress the' He had once felt at the prospect of leaving his work unfinished and resigning to another the charge of that flock in whose service he had been worn and spent, gave way to the one simple and earnest desire of his soul that a godly man might fill his place, and that all glory and honor should be ascribed to him to whom alone it is due. ^i j. ,? . i.[ I ^^ During all his illness his frame of mind was 28 ' i l< » meek, tender, subdued; fiill of grateful acknow- ledgment for every little act of attention, almost painfully so, to those around, who felt it a privilege to be able to minister in any way to his ease or comforts << In the early part of his coniinement to the house many friends had continually presided to see him. He enjoyed converse at all times, and seemed revived by their visits ; but the excitement was not good, and there was but little profit in general conversation. As his weakness increased the exertion became too much ; and his mind dwelling continually upon serious thoughts, he lost his relish for earthly themes, and latterly confined his admis- sion almost exclusively to his brethren of the Ministry. In that number was included his Pres- byterian friend, Mr M , whom he scrupled not to invite to kneel beside him in prayer, though not of his communion. It is his dying seal to the great truth, that membership in Christ's Church consists not so much in any outward confi)rmity as in the Spirit's work in the heart. Walls of separation have too long divided on earth ; but in Heavan we shall rejoice in that communion of Saints which will unite in the song of everlasting praise and 29 glory to the Lamb ; all who have been led by the Spirit to love the Lord in sincerity and truth* " Every earthly arrangement had been attended to : his mind was free from distressing thoughts concerning his family : he had committed '< his soul, his most precious treasure, to the hands of his God ; " and remembering the T vine Providence which had watched over his own early years, and guarded him from the snares and temptations of an ungodly world when left to a widowed mother's care, he had consigned his children to the faithful- ness and love of that Heavenly Father for guidance and protection, and to the earthly guardianship of the dear brother who was as his own soul to him. <« God in mercy tempers his dispensations to his children with tenderest compassion to their feelings and their weakness ; and surely it was in mercy and in love to his servant that the veil rested on the future ; and till the last day a ray of hope was left. ^ <^ That last day came. Weak and exhausted as he was, he took his usual drve. The Revd. E» Denroche with difficulty assisted him into the carriage, and accompanied him to Government House to inquire for Lady Mary Basot's family, I ii 30 in whose recent affliction he deeply sympathized." On his return he called at his house for his family to accompany him in the remainder of his drive, which he prolonged for an hour or two. I was walking with M when we met him : he stop- jped to speak to us : the alteration in his appearance since last we had seen him was painfid to witness^ particularly so when contrasting it with the bloom- ing faces around him; yet he spoke hopefully of his visit to Ireland. He pressed us both by the hand, and we parted. He then drove to Dr R — 's, where he became so weak that they gave him wine and water, afler which he was conveyed home. Nothing more occurred during the day to cause particular alarm: that night he fell into a calm sweet sleep: the hours stole on: the morning came, when his afflicted partner found him lifeless by her side. No pain, no struggle, appeared to have been his : he had literally << fallen asleep in Jesus." -' ■■ ^- .■-..■'..: -.■■■, --■«-', . .■'; , ,.: ,.. ^ .-- -^:mii The sorrows of that bereaved house may be imagined : who but one could record them ? Yet God forsook her not in that dark hour : He drew near with his abundant consolations to support and bind up those bleeding hearts. The voice of prayer 31 was heard above the voice of vv^eeping; and ii prevailed. The shock to us was great ; yet in the midst of grief how much to console. Our beloved Minister had been spared all the terrors and pangs of ap- proaching death. "The dark valley had been crossed without knowing he had arrived there, till awaking in joyful and happy release from his earthly tenement." His tender affectionate nature was spared the anguish of parting with his trea- sured ones. Surely God was good to his faithful servant, who has now rest from his labors in perfect and endless bliss* ., ^*> On Friday H^ went to the house of mourning, requesting permission to see his loved remains: he entered the chamber of death, and beheld him dressed in his Ministerial robes. The scene was solemn and impressive to a degree ! On his face was still expressed the same calm. H gazed on the lineaments of him who in life had been so dear, and pressing his hand for the last time came sorrowfully away. v - ? ^^ Sunday, 4th June. — ^Most affecting was it on the last Sabbath day to enter that Church where we had so oflen beheld our dear departed Minister, ;-! 32 II and listened to the holy precepts and affectionate admonitions that had issued from those lips now closed and sealed : it was hung with deep mourn- ing. Who could forbear the starting tear ? Oh Lord ! teach us more and more the nothing- ness of this life compared with eternity ; that the longest and the happiest, what is it when contrasted with that one word — forever ! ! On Monday his remains were consigned to the tomb where repose others of his family : he was borne by soldiers, those soldiers to whom he had so oflen preached, so often admonished and warned to turn from the evil of their ways. I watched the procession as it wound along, composed of every respectable inhabitant, all the military, and a great many of the clergy. The Sunday School scholars formed an interesting portion among them. Seve- ral of the poor had collected to witness the afiecting ceremony. H affectionately lingered with a few others until the last earth was cast over him. The rest of that day was spent quietly and in solemn meditation. Inscrutable are the ways of Providence ! We behold a Pastor taken from his flock in the prime of life, when his whole energies were devoted to 33 the the glorious work for which he was so eminently fitted from his high talents, his clear and scriptural views, and his ardent love for souls. This public calamity may be considered in various ways. Perhaps we depended too much on the stream, and neglected the fountain from whence it flowed. Man in his highest and lofliest station is but his Maker's instrument to act by his guidance, to per- form what He wills ; and when he has finished the work allotted to him, he is called away, and another takes his place. Again, a blessing may be ours^ yet not sufficiently valued. The faithful servant of a righteous God continues for a long time to strive with a rebellious people : he exhorts, he warns, he beseeches, in vain: the sinner remains an impenitent sinner still : the same pursuits, the same pleasures, engross him. It is true, he ob- serves the outward forms of worship, but his heart is far from God : this he has given to the world ; and the messenger of peace and mercy is suddenly recalled, and he is left to lament him in vain, and cry : " My Father, my Father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof! ! " Our dear Minister felt most keenly the little good that appeared to follow his constant and unwearied E (■ 34 exertions. Doubtless, much more was effected than he was permitted to see ; but still, in a place so peculiarly favored as this has been (and, through God's great goodness, continues to be), much fruit ought to be the recompence, the grateful offering of a privileged people. ** Remember, therefore, how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast and repent." 1 cannot close this brief and imperfect sketch without adding the following tribute of affection to the sainted memory of one so dear, from the pen of a l)r6ther Minister : *« A more beautiful exhibition of what a Christian man and a Christian Minister ought to be, it has never been my privilege to witness; and I shall ever consider it one of the greatest blessings of my life to have enjoyed his friendly counsel and fra- ternal regard from the commencement of my Min- isterial career to the period of his lamented death. So devoted was he to the duties of his sacred office, and so signally were they blessed by his Divine Master, that I cannot describe him in more appro- priate terms than in those of Holy Writ : ' when the ear heard him, then it blessed him ; when the eye saw him, then it gave witness unto him ; because 35 he delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him : the blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon him, and he caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.' How < blessed is the memory of the just !' " Pre-eminently as the character of Mr Cart- wright shone as a husband, a father, a brother, a friend, a patriot ; high as were his attainments ; great as were his charities ; many as were his amiable qualities ; did he trust in these to obtain the crown of life ? No : had he done so, well he knew that he would have built his house on the sands. • . .. , The foundation of his hopes rested on the " rock of ages," on that Savior who had died to redeem him : his works were the result of that belief, the evidences of a heart renewed by the Holy Spirit of God. In touching on the nearer ties of relationship that engaged his tenderest affections, I must again revert to that l)elov€d brother so dear to him, so esteemed by us all. It has been said they were twins ; and so much alike were they in appearance, voice and manner, that until well acquainted they were constantly taken for each other : the same amiable qualities and superior talents belonged to !: 86 ■ I i both ; the same noble disinterestedness of conduct exhibited itself in their characters ; and, praise be to God, the same faith in Christ Jesus supported their latest hours. They rest now together, await- ing a joyful resurrection. Many have been the tears shed for them by the dear ones lefl behind : but could an unseen hand raise the veil and display their glorified spirits in Paradise, would not weep, ing and sorrow flee away ? " Heaviness may en- dure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Faith has restored peace ; religion has performed her promises ; and grief, like a dark cloud, has rolled afar off, and restored the sunshine of bright hopes to come in another and a «' better land." Faintly has my pen fulfilled its task in tracing the character of Mr Cartwright. Could it have recorded all that might be written, what a broad stream of light would appear. The "day of small things " will not, howevor, be despised by those who will accept my effort as a last proof of affection and gratitude for the man and the Minister. Dear friends, let us pray for ourselves and for those we love, that his labors may not all prove in vain. Many to whom he preached are already gone to their dread account. May we who remain 87 trim our lamps and be ready, that when the sum- mons comes we may receive it without fear, and its execution without shame. There is one ever ready to hear, ever ready to help our infirmities. Sweetly has it been said of Him, that " In the posture of prayer he ascended up iuto Heaven, where those blessed hands still remain clasped, and will so remain interceding with the Father for us all till he comes again in glory." Kingston, Canada West, * July^ A.D. 1845.
