Rev, Gins. X. True, ID. u.

Many of our older citizens, particularly of the
Methodist denomination, remember the Rev.
Charles X. True, ID. d. brother of Vim. NJ. and
Geo. ~ True, well known farmer residents and
business men of this city. We find notice OF
his death in the New York Christian Ad,ocate of
June 9th.
1t was our privilege, on two of his visits to OF
tawa some years ago to hear him preach and we
have heard few, if any ADLER men in the pulpit.
He was thorough scholar, and with his scholar
ship combined exceptional gifts as a rhetorician
and elocutionist. Yet with all his gifts he seem
ed simple rs a child and gentle as Il girl. He
was graduate of Harvard college, and when but
p years Of age entered the ministry of the NJ. +.
church, remaining in it Hntil his death, which
occurred at his home in Flushing, Long Island,
on the l9lh ult. His aye was about 6S.
He had preached in various 'circuits" in New
York and New England until 1919, when he took
the chair of Moral Philosophy in Wesleyan Uni
versity at Middletown, Conn, which he held I'M
til 1861. After that he again occupied various
pulpits, under the itinerating system of his de-
nomination, in Boston, New York, &c, being in
charge Of Cedar street church in Brooklyn at the
time of his death. Amid his other labors he found
time to write book on "Logic," which was
standard in the colleges and seminaries of the
NJ. f. church for many years; and Life Of Sir
Walter Raleigh" which was but recently pub.
lished and has been very favorably received
He had several sons, who give promise of be.
coming little less eminent than their father
One of them is an Episcopal minister in charge
of a church ut Newtown, l.. l. Another son, AL
fred c. True, is professor in the State Normal
College at Westicld, Mass. Two unmarried
daughters are engaged in teaching, one in Flush.
ing and the other in South Carolina
From lengthy obituary of DR.. True in the
Christian Id,ocate we make single extract:
He devoted himself to the work Of soul.saving
with great and steady zeal. AS n member Of the
New England Conference he was sought by the
best churches in New England He was gifted
scholarly, thoughtful, simple, eloquent. He
constantly, in public and in private, pushed the
work Of soul saying. He was prc-eminent in his
ability to make religion effective in parlor con.
yersaton. In the city Of Baltimore, where re-
ligion has never been banished from the social
life, the people were under the impulse and i'm.
preston Of the great lives Of Summcrfeld and
Mat1it, yet they said that the youthful preacher
from New England, Brother True, was far great.
