II seems that Mr.. Dyer bore the ordeal
OF the surgical operation with a fortitude

Mr. Dyer belonged to no church-but he
gave to all tie churches alike To show
MS broad generosity in that respect. this

Sanders, pastor of the Colored NJ. E. church,
called at The HERALD Office and said :
several weeks ago l wanted some
money Tor our church, and called upon him
TO head subscription list, which he did. He
seated me in his Office, and with a freedom
which, perhaps, he did not often manifest
on Inc subject, he conversed upon the state
OF MS conscience and heart He said: I
was very SICK not long ago, My friends
thought would die. Before that | had
bitter animosities against persons who
ulIefed from me politically and other
wise During my illness some of these
came to my bedside and said: Over
old boy. Pm sorry to see you here From
that time all my animosities left me. and
my heart ran out for all the people, I don,t
nate anybody now" l said to myself, "He

spirit" l saw character in the man and
great possibilities for good, and thinking
ne would die of old age, considering mis-
physical strength, l looked for him to
achieve an euviable fame"
