of God for the salvation of his soul. About
three months before his death he consented
in his heart To give up every thing OF an
earthly character. After this resolve
he gave evidence OF the most satisfactory
character OF the love OF God being sned
abroad in the heart by the Holy Ghost.
He praised God frequently aloud, and ar
iirned that he saw his mother ana little
brother in heaven. He talked with all
who waited on him or visited him. His
father requested him, il be should get so he
could not speak. TO indicate If all was still

giving some other sign. a neighbor, who
was waitingo on him, seeing his lips moving

arms, placed them around his friends
neck, and dre-E his ear to his mouth and
said: THE door OF heaven is opened and
they are waiting for me-" From the NOV
ing of his lips he seemed to he singing.
He would raise his arms and seemingly
embrace some friend as If to press him to
his breast; and thus he departed.

BISHOP QUINTARD.

Charles T. Quiutard, Episcopal
Bishop of Tennessee, is a rare man.
He is apart from the common herd Of
humanity, and his type IS not met with
often in the daily haunts of life, rs we
will set forth,
In an age of sneering infdelity,, re-
plete with all the cynicism of modern
materialism, he laid aside the comfort
able revenues of an honored and lu-
crative professor, to shoulder tbs
Gross. To many men this may not be
heroism, but to the calm and philO-
sophie thinker, who knows the work
ings ofthe human problem around him,
1t is heroism of the highest type. We
say it with shame for our race, that it
has become the fashion of small intel
lects to cast doubt and ridicule upon
sacred mysteries of the Gospel 1t is
in their atrophied brains, an indication
of an investigating sceptical and learn
ed apprehensions The modem cru
sader has to encounter all this in his
fight for the Cross, and although he
does not have to face the valiant and
fiery Saracen, and is not burned at
the stake; yet his task is hard one,
and his foes are a thousand TO one.
There is one consolation, however, he
should carry like jar of precious oil
wherever his destinSmay be cast, and
that is, he is the genuine benefactor of
his race, the conservator of society
and the foundation stone of order and
government.
Charles I. Quintard never hesitated,
but followed the footsteps Of Him,
who on the distant hills of Judes,
opened the gates Of mercy for mankind.
He never stopped to reason about the
matter of dollars and cents We
doubt very much if he knows or cares
for their proper or commercial value.
His work was cut out by the Master,
and he goes forth almost literally with
script and sandal, and with a cheer
full, hopeful countenance, and does it
bravely. Is not such a man, in this
sneering age. hero?
But this is not all. What Southern
soldier, who bears within hrs breast
the heart of brave man, that does
not look upon this good man with
love and veneration? On many a

side the dying patriot and pointed the
way to the pearly gates of bliss, and
his prayers have risen up in the smoke
of battle and have been uttered amid
the awful thunders of artillery and the
= rattle of musketry and the groans of
the wounded like a white winged mes
senger from an unhappy earth to
heaven.
He has whispered words ofhope and
comfort in the ears of men dying for
their country. He has heard the last
uttered human wish of many a brave
soul, and he has been faithful to all
their sacred requests. He stood upon
the field of battle the representative of
no earthl y power, but of power to
which the ornaments of embattled ma
tions, are but as the toys and play
things of an hour
He did his duty well and molly in
those perilOus and trying times, and
he has net faltered since in its uner-
ring line. He still bears the Cross of
the Master with meek and Christian
grace that shines out in a world much
troubled by spiritualism, infdelity,
materialism and coarse and vulgar
sin, like a raiment of light-BrolonS-

Obituaries.

We are asked if pastor is expected
to wiite an obituary for every one of
his members when they die. We should
say, no. There can be no objection to
short and simple annals of persons
whose example might be edifying; but
what is the use of parading in the pa
pers the commonplace of people who
never said or did anything of interest
to the world? The trite expressions
of dying friends are gathered up and
remembered in the family-but there
let them abide.-NdshUiUe AdrOcdte.
