hood between George Pierce and himself had
lasted throughout life. That though they
followed different pursuits, they were never
led apart from each other. That those tender
ties bound not only themselves but their fami-
lies together. Alluding to his be-
loved friend he said: HE has been
with us ulder various circumstances; he
has been with US to the grave" And here
the great heart of Robert TOOmbs burst with
its grief, and the man who has WIthstOOd the
giants Of his day was weeping like a child.
And many were the tears that. were mingled
with his In his sorrow. Again he said: He
heard the call and answered Lord, here am
l. Follow me;' and-he followed his Master
all the days Of his life.~ This was the life OF
George Pierce" The speaker SAID that the
Bishops heart went out to all his fellow crea-
lures, that while he hated sin, he loved all his
sinners. Gen. TOOmbs' remarks did not eX-
tend over six or Gig hit minutes.
