that pAssing tribute to his memory should bo
paid BY those who. wore formerly unit

kind and benevolent heart ras full o[ sympathy
for his felIow.meu, aud his zeal for tho Church
OF Christ and Its welfare wan only limited by hig
power to aid her, not only NTH bis best counsels
and efforts, but to Tho utmoss extent OF hia po-
cuniasy ab!ity,-And, indood, 40 uuboundod wAs
his goncrosity in this respect, that when called
upon for aid to some pressing necessity Of tho
Of Justice to limit tho amount which
hds benevolent honrt and rcady hand
WAS free TO supply. He was member Of
Enlistment, serving most OF the time both in
tho Yestxy and as Senior Warden, and in its ear
er hlatory gayo hts best etforta and contributed
llberaily to ita support and welfare. Hta cons
