Death of a Veteran
On Sunday evening the Rev. Mr. M'Kechnie preached an eloquent funeral sermon in the Primitive Methodist Chapel, North Shields, to a large congregation, with a view to improve the death of Mr. Stephen NOTT, one of the fathers of the Primitive denomination in North Shields. Mr. NOTT died at the patriarchal age of 84; in his youth and prime he served George 111 on board man-of-war in the great French war; and in the piping times of peace he settled down in Shields, and for many years remained an old and esteemed inhabitant of the town. Primitive Methodism had its origin amongst poor toiling men. By the zeal of its early founders it has been developed into the great power that it is now in the religious life of England. Mr. NOTT was one of those who bore the burden and heat of the day; and happily he lived to see the denomination large in numbers, greatly increased in wealth and position with a rising and educated ministry, and a noble career before it; the Primitive being amongst the healthiest and most active churches in the land.
