Died at Granville on 16 Jan., Mr. Valentine Troop in the 82nd year of his age.
Mr. Troop was one of the oldest members of the Wesleyan Church in the Annapolis Circuit. He was a truly excellent man; the community in which he resided had long awarded him its unbounded confidence and its general esteem. He was brought to a saving knowledge of the truth at an early age, and during his protracted sojourn on earth was noted for his consistent walk and unaffected affability. He cordially believed and personally tested the fundamental principle of Christianity: – that we are saved by grace through faith, and not for our own merits or deservings; he also as firmly believed, the no less important one, that those who name the name of Christ should depart from iniquity, abstain from all appearance of evil, and be careful to maintain good works. In these Scriptural and Wesleyan beliefs he lived; adorning the doctrines by the practical development they involve. His general religious experience, owing probably to his natural disposition or temperament of mind, was not that of a lively joyous character which it is the privilege of the believer to realize, yet it was evident that his Scriptural morality was the growth of a regenerated heart, and demonstrative of "the root of the matter in him." He faithfully and affectionately discharged the duties of life in its varied relations, as a husband father and friend; and in return, was greatly beloved by those who give his memory a lasting enshrinement among their hearts' dearest treasures. For a few years the infirmities of advancing age confined Mr. Troop to the bounds of his dwelling, and for some months preceding his decease rendered him almost helpless. Gradually, calmly he descended the declivity of life and approached the river of death; the scenes of immortality stood revealed on the other side; leaving on the shores of time a pious example and an unblemished reputation – his spirit departed in the peace of Jesus, and the Christian hope of entering into that rest and sharing in the immediate enjoyments of those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises. Servant of God, well done! T.
