In writing these few lines about the latter stages of the pilgrimage of my dear father, Henry Hercock, I desire not to exalt him, but the grace of God which shone in him. The Lord was pleased to bestow on him a large portion of meekness of spirit, which was exhibited in all his dealings. Yet he would, with Paul, express his conviction of a sense of sinnership, and confess himself to be the chief of sinners. He showed this humility of spirit in his daily conversation, proving thereby that the Spirit of Christ dwelt in him.
