He survived till Charles's twenty-fifth year.

John Cooper, on his dying bed, owned to his poet brother, his ministering angel, that the prevalent unbelief had so penetrated his life that he had long lost all real heart for his pastoral duties at St. Bennett's Church.

Among the undergraduates, religious life in any social sense of that word was unknown, as we shall see in the narrative.

John Venn, Charles Simeon, and a few other such men were, as a fact, living at the same time in the university and were in earnest as Christians, but they were almost or quite unaware of each other's existence.

No holy club of Cambridge Methodists existed to draw them together and to diffuse their influence.

But at last the ice was broken, the invitation came, and in a conversation tête-à-tête the vicar was greatly surprised to hear the supposed formalist drop some expressions which conveyed the idea of his feeling himself a poor, guilty, helpless sinner.

Two important results followed that conversation.

Mr. Atkinson introduced Simeon to John Venn of Sydney, and soon after Simeon's ordination he welcomed him as his own honorary curate.

John Venn, afterwards the beloved and honoured rector of Clapham, was son of Henry Venn, then rector of the secluded village of Yelling, about twelve miles west of Cambridge, just over the Huntingdonshire border.
