Judge PAUL received his Academical
education at an institution located Al Sr0ss
Creek Village. Pa. He graduated al Wash
ington College, Pa, in the year 1888. lie
Subsequently studied law in the Office of h.
Jacob, Esq, Of this city, and then COM
plcted his professional studies by atten-
dance. uDOu the lectures OF the Law De-
partment OF the University OF Virginia.
With the exception OF short time during
which he had charge OF the l.inGSley lnStl-
tulc he has since devoted himself TO his
chosen professor, first as lawyer, ana
since 1872 as a Judge on the Supreme
Bench of the State. At his dea h about SIX
wears vet remained 10 complete the term
of his office. He also served with credit as
"A rncmbc of the Virginia legislature.
In his physical constitution Judge PAUL
was not robust. While not Ditch LAID aside
from active duty by sickness, he, never
theleSS, seemed to lack the strength OF
body requisite 10 enable HIM 10 do all the
work for which he was otherwise quallned.
He was 4 man OF fine natural powers of
mind. These had been developed by the
advantages OF II very liberal education In
early years and by much cultivation in
later life. In point OF taste, culture, lnlor-
nation, sound judgment ana the ike,
Judge PAUL occupied very high place.
His brethren of the law can best speak as
10 his cminence in his profession. But the
fact that, without solicitation on MS part,
N. was nominated to the Supreme Bench
Of the State, and chosen by an Immense
majority Is very conclusive evidence as 10
the esteem in which he was held in that
sphere,
y,
uStentatiOn was extremely offensive to
him. Equally repulSiNc was everything
which was in the slightest degree akin TO
vulgariy. lie was q man OF remarkable
purity OF character. He was distinguished
bv the most answering integrity. He
would not desire that his friends who re-
main behind him should set up a claim
that he was without fault. But they may
confidently say that he certainly would
have loathed wilfully 10 do any mean or
wrong action.
There are two relations, however, in
which his character shown with the great
est beauty. one Is that OF the family. IL
is not proper here To diVulGe the priNacieS
Ofthat sacred retreat from the world. Let
il suffice to say that his home was type
of heaven. IL was the abode OF the most
delightful peace and love. As Il husband
and father he was u model. His memory
in that circle must ever be cherished with
a fpndneSS that Is not often cqualled.
The other of these relations was that OF
the Church. When hc was "A young man
he united with the First Presbyterian
Church of this city. KS professor of re-
lgiun he has been enincntly faithful 10
Christ. His life has been one OF molly con-
S.cratiOu. No man can say that ne ever
brought repruach upon the Master cause.
But he has not been content simply TO
keen himself UnSpOttcd from the world.
lie was devoted sabbath School teacher.
For u long time he was superintendent OF
n cplOrcd sabbath school heId in the lee
iOnged. In IN" prayer meeting he was al
WAYS present when IL was possible Tor him
To attend and most earnest were the pci-
tons which he offered. He was very
liberal contributor 10 the beyOlcnt causes
OF the Church. For eighteen years he
has been a Ruling Elder. And rs such he
has discharged his duties in such way as
to command the respect and approval OF
all who have the interests OF religion al
heart. In the Session, the PrcSOytcTy,
SYNOD, and the General Assembly he has
shown himself to he most worthy OF
the trust repoScd in him. DevOut men
NAV well carry him 10 his burial and bear
their testimony OF fidelity.
The sickness of Judge PAUL, in its incep-
ton, dates back Tor months. But II was
only at the close of the recent term OF the
Supreme Court at Charleston. that lie be-
came seriously i'll. \ conversation held
with him few hours before his death, re-
vealed "A beautiful stat" OF resignation To
the will OF God. He was content 10 live or
die, Just as our Heavenly Father chose
Not "A shade OF doubt or fear seemed 10
trouble him. And now he is with the re-
deemed IN Heaven. His body is on earth,
but his soul is with Christ. Farewell,
Christian brother, until we meet again be-
yOnd the skies. II. w. I.
