Last Sunday night the services in the
Baptist Church were in memory OF Rev.
James G. Furman, D. D., recently deceas-
ed. Rev. r. P. Bell, of Richmond, Va,
presided over the meeting, aud read as a
lesson the last chapter of Deuteronomy.
He said that while DR.. Furman, like
Moses, had not been permitted to possess
and enjoy the reality Of his hope, still he
was allowed to live until he could see it
an assured act-until he could see Fur
man University Jixed and established adj
dresses were made by Col. J. B. Patrick,
of the Military Institute, Hon. e. B. Muir
raw and Prof. II H. Watkins, OF Furman
University. All Of them paid glowing
tributes to tho memory Of DR.. Furnlan.
The statement was repeated by Col. Pat
rick that "onc such life as that kired BY Dr..
Fur7na,s qga, complete rcfutation Of skepti-
cism and infdclity." Mr.. Murray said,
among other things, if it was true, as had
been stated by one writer, that the good
man did was buried with him, what a
grave would DR.. Furman's be. How
much it would contain! But it is not
true, DR.. Furman is not dead. His body
lies in the grave, but his lifo is still with
US to inspire us to nobler and better
life. He was great and good man.
Prof. Watkins said it is impossible to de-
scribe DR.. Furman. Like some beautiful
flower, to know what he was you must
have seen and hoard him. The service
was intensely interesting. The music was
very good and appropriate. A very large
audience was present from all the denomi.
nations. This was proper tribute of re.
spect to the memory of a great man.
