In the death of DIR. Minor our commu-
nifty has met a loss. His familiar form
willgno longer be seen on our streets
To his afflicted family we tender our sym
pathies. Our neighbor is gone-and thus
must we all go to that land whence we
can not return. How true is it that we
are but shadows pursuing shadows. For
a little while we have our places here,
and we pass away, and in a few years
forgotten. The best way to be remem-
bered is to leave behind us kindly &C.
tons and gentle words. Thus at least
can we bid defiance to all-destroying
Death. When we visit the Cemetery
where now the remains of DR.. Minor re-
pose, we can not but be impressed with
the fact that man fades like the summer
rose and the autumn leaf. But when We
think of Him who said, "I am the Re
surrection and the Life"-we are cheer
ed, and although we die, we expect to
live again.
