During the whole month of November, my strength gradually but constantly declined, till I was pros- trated to infantine weakness. It was a great effort to raise my hand, and respiration was so difficult, I felt as if every breath would be my last. That point of my disease termed the crisis continued two or three days. During this time I was unable to close my eyes, and had abandoned even the hope of recov- ery. One night I said to Mrs. Clapp, " I am dying. " She thought so too. An icy coldness ...had nearly reached the citadel of life. We were alone. I was in perfect possession of my consciousness. From some cause or other, my mental powers were much more active than when in health. My memory was REV. THEODORE CLAPP. 285 so excited, vigorous, and grasping, that I recalled easily the whole of my life, and could repeat to my- self passages in the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin lan- guages without an effort. All the literature that I had acquired came up before me with supernatural freshness and charms.
