A True Pastor.

Recent references TO the late Rev. o. A..
Fisher, have reminded us that we have been
guilty of a serious Of omission in not long
since bearing our testimony TO his character
as faithful aud self-denying pastor and
Christian, II is true our testimony Is not
needed; but we feel il TO be due to his
memory to state some facts which CHANGED
to come within our knowledge, shortly after
we came to this place.
The case we have specially in our mind
ought TO speak volumes. In the summer or
fall of 1873, AN old man died In the vicinity OF
Coronal Institute. Himself and family had
not been living long in the country. None
of them, we believe, were members OF Mr..
Fishers church. They were comparatively
unknown to the older settlers. Living close
by, VIC had daily occasion to notice the
course of Mr.. Fisher ON this matter. He
was most assiduous in waiting on and
watching by the old man day and night
during his sickness-we believe he was
almost the only one outside the family who
did go. And when the sick man died,
assisted only by his nephew, the late Rev.
IT. S. Garrett, then quite O youth, he took
charge of the remains, diligently prepared
the body for the grave, and looked after all
else that was necessary to be done. And,
finally, he attended the funeral in his min
isterial capacity, made an appropriate ad-
dress, and attended to the other matters
proper to the occasion.
We confess we looked upon all this with
not little surprise, and fresh apprecia-
ton of the character of the true pastor.
Never before had we witnessed such an ex-
hibition of practical Christianity, of the
Good Samaritan type, on the part OF
preacher. And we found his subsequent life
of the like tenor. His thorough human
sympathy, combined with his deep religious
faith fitted him peculiarly to "stand be-
tween the living and the dead" His ad-
DIR asses on funeral occasions were always
very feeling and appropriate.
Such life was the best possible testi-
mony to the reality and power of the faith
in which he lived and died. May other
pastors, as well as their people. follow him,
as he followed Christ!
