three years pastorate, entered upon his
life long vocation as editor and philan-
thropist-never sinking the one in the
other, always admirable in both. The
Springfield Republican well says:
THE good he has done, directly and
indirectly, can never be computed. He
organized the first temperance society in
New York II was among the first in
the anti-slavery movement; and as edit
or oil the Emancipator, he made his in
fuence felt in every corner Of New Eng

without falter:ng or thought of defeat, as
he did every other in which he had once
enlisted. His pen has enriched and dig
nifed many editorial pages, notably
those of the New York Evening Post and
Independent. OF the latter paper he was
at one time the managing editor, and he
died, as he had often said he hoped to, in
harness"
