John Farndale,
son of Joseph and Mary Farndale, was born at Nunthorpe, near Ayton, in
Yorkshire, and died at New Shildon, Darlington Circuit, September 1st
1862, aged forty three years, His parents were moral and his mother has for a
number of years been connected with the Wesleyan Society. About eighteen years
ago he removed to New Shildon, and began occasionally to attend the chapel, but
did not become decidedly religious until about four years ago, when there was a
gracious revival. For some time he was under heavy conviction, and could not
find any rest for his soul, until one day when at work alone, he realised a
sense of sin forgiven, and was made happy in Go. He immediately joined our
society, and remained a steady, consistent, and devoted Christian up to the
time of his death. He was a teacher in our Sabbath school, and laboured with
much earnestness in our prayer meetings. He was emphatically a man of prayer,
not only in his closet, but he regularly conducted family worship, reading his
Bible and praying with and for his family. About three years ago the diseased
which terminated in his death commenced, but in all his affliction he was
resigned to the will of God. He was frequently visited by the friends who
generally found him with a Bible or Testament near him,. Repeating such
passages as the following, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the
Lord delivereth him out of them all.” “our light
affliction, which are but for a moment,” etc. and “Though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” In the ;last struggle he
was more than conqueror; death to him had lost its sting. He exclaimed in
triumph, “Glory be to God! Glory be to God!” About half an hour before he died,
he called his children to him and told them to love Jesus, and be good to their
mother, and then he softly fell asleep in Jesus.
