an extraordinary young Irish Methodist preacher, was born in Coleraine, County Antrim. At the age of seventeen he had mastered the usual studies of a college curriculum. He was converted under the ministry of Thomas Barber, a Wesleyan evangelist; in 1785 was recommended to the Dublinl Conference, and sent to the Sligo Circuit. After a few months' exhausting labor he returned to Coleraine, and died, June 18, 1786, aged eighteen years. Coleman's was a lovely character — humble, modest, affectionate, and thoroughly consecrated. He had a brilliant mind and a wonderful memory.
