On the evening of August Il he sustained Sc

no avail. Step by step the battle for life was
fought through many long days and sleepless

not possible, he longed for death TO release him,
saying, II am ready TO 60 My days on earth
numbered. In his last moments he was
conscious, and died as he had lived, in the full
triumph of living faith. Among his last con-
scious expressions were, 81 know that my Re
deemer liveth.' In early life he gave his heart

sistent member of the same up to his death

sistauce they could render 70 the father they
loved so WELL which was a source of infinite sat
isfactio II to him In the hour of his most excru-
ciating pain he exclaimed, Il am paroled for

mains to rest in the Acton cemetery on Tuesday
morning, an appropriate funeral address being

Sometimes. when the summers have drifted
away,
And the years shall have fed forever.
And am nearing the sunset line,
Where the shadows of evening gather,
Shall meet again with the loved and lost

When life was fair as the blossoms of May
And bright as the flush of the dawn.
