THE LATE blS1Ot hlNHoAk1A
From veSttrlGys HttsbUrgh castle.
Another stout pillar Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church Of America has fallen
before illC reaping hand Of death; another
bright light in tho religious world Inns
been cxtinguished, and true and noble
heart llas ceased to beat. The jealous and
illustrlous Bishop Calvin Kingsley is no
moro! The unexpected intelligence Of his
death, crowling so rapidly on the passing
away Of the lamentcd Bishop Thomson,
created. u profound sorrow In this city,
more especially among tho members OF
the church to the welfare Of which he dc"
voted u whole life. The deceased was in
many respects II wonderful man. or eX-
tra0rdinary mental abilities, large cXccu-
tive capacity, adapting the IOSsessOr to
any department In which placed, broad
understanding and unusual vitality and
mower Of endurance, he proved in many
positions in church service which he oCCtl-
ried during life, cminently successful. As
nastOr, President Of the Allegheny Col
lego. editor of the Western Christian AdDO-
cGte, Bishop, and tourist In missionary
work, he rose high above the ordinary.
His loss Is m irrcparable one to the Meth
Odist Church md II serious embarrassment
to the great work Of visiting all parts OF
the world where the missionaries have I'm.
folded the banner OF Christianity, and re-
porting bis observations ut homG-an ar.
luous task, undertaken with willingness
by tue deceased and half accomplished,
when, in the strange and tar.OfF land OF
India, near the shores Of the Mctliterra-
mean, hG was summoned by death 10 Gter-
nifty. ..... .........
Of his death nothing Is further known
save that his life was terminated Ut Beg.
root by aisuddeni attacked heart disease.
HC was al the time pursuing his cpiSCO:
pal visitation to the NJ. T. missionary
stations-a journey planned by the Board,
which would have taken him around the
circuit Of the world. When leaving our
shores hc was in the best Of health anil
spirits, and looked forward to the enjoy.
nlcnt Of n long life Of usefulness in his 20.
Sition,-whiCh renders his demise the
more sud- and sOrfOwftli. Yesterday the
mOnrnful event was announced from all
the Methodist WIlpitS hCrcaIOutS, accom-
panied in some instances with appropriate
and feeling remarks. The Rev John a.
Grav, Of Christ's NJ. +. Church. made it II
special theme, and paid u tender and
touching tribute 10 the memory Of the de-
parted, IN which lie said y I
