REV. DIR. T. s. DUNAwAY.

was conspicuous, his courage was unques-
toned. lie was courteous and kind as
pOlenic, and sought truth rather than any
personal victory. He was genial, liberal,
bOspitable, singularly pure in word, in life,
and in heart, ana possessed simple, earn
est. Geep-toned piely. His faith was strong.
and the last words me uttered" The Lord
regneth were but the echo OF his motto
through life.
The last moments the speaker had ever
spent with his beloved brolher'were spent
at his request in a season OF prayer. Du-
ring ;his visit DR.. Jetcr showed him let
ter which he had Just received from his
cherished friend, Rev. DR.. Robert Ryland,
in which, among other things, he had asked
/ how he felt at the prospect as he approach
ed the river. and that he had said he could
best answer i'm the language OF the poor
man OF whom SpurgeOn speaks:
al am poor sinner.
And nothing at all.
But Jesus, my Saviour,
ls.my all, IN all"
DR.. Dunaway further spoke OF
DIR. JETER'S REMARKABLE GIFTS
a. sermonzcr, his wonderful power as
preacher when at his best, and his freedom
| from jealousy OF Others, and his entire want
/ I
llejoiced that death had come to him in the
manner in which be himself had prayed it
might come that his life had not OutIasted
| his useiulness-that when his work was
done he had entered upon his rest--that he
| had 80 speedily laid aside his implements OF
| toll TO receive his reward and wear his fade
| less crown. These points DIR. Dunaway
elaborated somewhat, Illustrated by incl
dents from the life OF the great man, and
enforced in an evety way admirable man
ner.
The next speaker was
REV. D. 8. DOGGETT, D. D.,
Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South. Bishop Doggett said that the vast
thrOng present was there 10 honor a faithful
and distinguished minister OF Jesus. He
was there to pay a tribute TO one whom be
had known and loved for fOrty-fve years.
The FIRST Baptist preacher whom he had
ever heard was Dr.. Jeter, preaching in the
house Of the grandfather OF DR.. Dunaway.
He appreciated the invitation which had
been extended to ministers OF different de-
nominations to participate in these services,
and should respond in the spirit in which
the invitation was given.
lie spoke ably and eloquently OF the
power OF catholicity among Christians OF
different creeds, and OF the fact that robust
Christian character cannot be bound, but is
the property OF our common Christian bro
thelhood. He spoke OF the
sALUrARY INFLUENCE OF SUCH TYPE OF
CHARACTER
on the world, OF its being bright evangel
: and a power for good in the community
: Death does not destroy, but catches, crys
tallZes, and makes permanent the character
OF a good man, leaving it priceless bequest
TO society. All this was most happily illus
= trated and blended in DR.. Jeter.
e lie was pronounced Baptist, but none
| | the less a pronounced Christian, and bi,
life was Christian royalty which all re-
ioiced to acknowledge and claim for ouI
. common Christianity. There was not an
evangelical minister in Richmond who
had not grieyed at his death. He haC
done his work, and God had said
"It is enough; come up higher" liz
made the Christians "liying sacrince,'
and now its sweet ordors are floating or
the air. He did not feel that this was onl.
an hour 10 mourn; we could also make i
an hour Of rejoicing. This was funeral
but IL funeral illumipated and
ROBBED OP ITS GLOON.
Death was there, but Death was robbed
of his terrOrs. 1t was blessing for thi
man OF God to have lived. 1t was also
blessing for him to have died. His deatl
was not an eclipse, but setting Of the full
orbed sun, while his golden rays still hinge
behind. He is not dead, but has been trans
: lated--has gone TO meet bis Lord in glory
After serving his generation, by the will o
God he has fallen on sleep, and is burie(
with his fathers, leaving trumpet-call Il
those who linger behind, "waIking th'
shore OF that sea we must sail so so0n."
