cially. He never, however, sacrificed friend
ship or strong convictions to his ambition. He
was very persevering. The possession of
this quality is fully proved by the steadiness
which he manifested in the pursuit of his
studies and profession in spite of great obsta-
cles He was very fond OF gymnastic exer-
cises and outdoor sports.
Lieut.. Spur was not insensible to the at
Effectiveness of military glory; neither was
the lite of a soldier disagreeable to uil. Still
he was guided by the purestmotives in joining
the army, and other motives which may have
influenced him served only to increase the
flame of patriotism which burned brightly in
his heart and held sway there. He wavered
long between the claims of widowed mother
and the claims of the country. Only the pur-
est patriotism led him at length to decide in
favor of the latter.
Spurs lite was pure and noble, his death
glorious. May his last wish be needed, and
his example fruitful in faithful, living and
generous deeds.
