At Exeter, on January 20th, after a protracted and painful illness of
twelve months' duration, the Rev. John Mason, for 17 years the beloved
and eminently devoted and useful pastor of the Baptist church in
Bartholomew-yard, in that city. His removal is felt throughout Exeter as
a public calamity. He died at the age of 45. We hope to be able to
furnish our readers with a memoir of this excellent servant of Christ.
