gone back to it. Look at VIII Barnes.

fulness of others, and his disregard of self,
was the strongest element in his lovely
character.
When the little worries of life would come
to those around him he was always the one
to give comfort. "For twenty years." he
"bad never" as he said in his last illness,
had "a well day"
In his childhood his physicians had denied
him many things which go to make child's
life happy, and in after years the same self
denial was required of him MS necessary to
his health. Instead Of fretting and repin-
ing at this he always bore 1t with the same
gentle resignation which stamped him to
the end as one of the most unselfsh of
Gods children.
For five long weeks, when he lay on his
word escaped his lips. His trust in his
Saviour was abiding, and his even, cheerful
disposition, which was alike prepared for
life or death, never forsooK him. When
told he was to die, the smile which illumined
his face told to his loving watchers that
what was their loss was his eternal gain.
