Biography of Albert Toman:
Our young friend, Albert Toman who departed
this life on October 12th, aged sixteen years, fear
The Lord from his youth. Being seriously inclined,
he attended prayer-meeting, and also class-meetings
from early childhood. It was twelve months ago last
August that he became more especially concerned
about everlasting things. This was in connection
with religious services, conducted at Watton, Wayland
Hall, by the converted gipsies, when the Holy Spirit
stove more powerfully with him; his determination
being.
Since this time, he has always spoke of his experience
of that as a sinner saved by grace. During the last
few months he has been very found of spending his
time alone, reading the Bible, and other good books.
On going to his business, in serving his apprenticeship,
he would take his pocket-bible with him. During
his dying illness he was never heard to express
any fear. His illness was very short, and during
part of the time he was unconscious as to everything
else. On visiting him for the last time in the early
part of the day in which he died, I was indeed concerned;
I feared he would not recover; but even then his
friends could not see the end was nigh; they did
not want to see it, - who would in such a case as
this, as to which we all had so many fond hopes?
