Two contrasts are suggested by this death Tho first

Finally this death gives note Of deeps seated faith
IN cam, phrase as professor" Yet he was evidently
believer and religion is very much larger thing thn
ESSENCE OF patience aud resignation OF charity toward
those who had wronged him. OF consideration for those
mander who had ordered him to the final roll call and
wba full of perso al humiity-we may re "a again
