The circumstances of his death are as follows:

members of the church in Kirby. They had

Thus has ended the earthly career OF ibis uselnl
and good man.
Dea. Clark experienced religion in 1911.
| And was baptized in September, the saNe
day the Baptist Church at Passumpsic was
constituted. He was one of the l9 members
who first constituted that church. Soon
after, he was chosen Deacon. In this office
he served with honor TO himself and the
church. He ever felt deep and growing
interest for the prosperity Of the church;
constantly attended public worship as we'll
as other meetings of the church, unless
providentiallv prevented. In the business
| Of the church, he was aCtlve-eyer ready to
assist He was empha,ically the friend, the
councillor, and guide Of his brethren. lie
had the confidence and love of all his breth-
rem. They looked up to him as leader and
father in Israel. AS peace maker he was
eminently blessed always cheerful and
pleasant; his advice was given in love. In
the hour of trial they found support in his
| frmness; assistance in his wisdom and
encouragement in his prayers. He feft
| InIa e. ho ,fe
ners and often conversed with, and prayed
terventIy for them. His heavenly Father
blessed him with a large property and it
was his desire that be might be useful with
it, When he united with the church it was
small, and without public house OF wor-
ship. He built a small house but as the
church and congregat alton increased and this
was found too small, he then built and dedi-
Gated to the worship Of Almighty God,
large and convenient meeting house, and
gave it TO the church. Many Of the feeble
churches have received aid from him. He
was liberal in the support of the gospel at
home aud abroad The cause of Missions,
| Education, and the various benevolent OBJ
Jects lay near his heart, and were aided by
his liberality as we'll as by his prayers. To
the sick, anC to the poor, he was kind g. chat
liable. As husband and father, his life
| was lovely. ~ was d VI
conjugal affection aud paternal tenderness.
Their happiness was his own; and to pro-
mote it, no exertion was too great. His be-
loved wife and daughter were members of
the church with him. For the spiritual wei
fare Of his two sons, he felt deep, and often
prayed fervently for their conversion while
bowed before the family altar. As brother
he was affectionate. AS a friend anG neigh
Dor, he was respected and beloved. Rarely
indeed does an instance occur in which the
influence of individual example has been
more benefciallv experienced. His life was
eminently useful and lovely. His death
sudden. but we trust peaceful and. happy.
To the bereaved family the loss is irrepara-
BILE; deeply lamented by the community, as
we'll as by his many friends and the Church
of Christ.
Their loss is his infinite and eternal gain
His eternity, we trust, will pass among
angels and the glorifed spirits of the just,
where the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are at resi- Com.
