His noble character and genuine worth

Times, in addressing large audience up
on the nature and characteristics of q
| truly Christian home, paused at the close
| to assure his hearers that the ideal Chris
tan home of which he was speaking had a
l real existence in the house of his beloved
host, this lamanted husband and father.
| The tribute was q deserved one. Welded
life was to him and his devoted wife a wise
| and deliberate plan of life for the noblest
perfection of character, and for the most
exalted happiness and joy, based upon en-
who found this home like a parents, and
the many honored guests who were priv
ileged to know its rare hospitality, never
separated from this beloved circle without
feeling that the dove of divine peace and
joy lowered over this family with out
stretched wings of benediction. He did
| not reserve his politeness and tenderness
his smile and sympathies, his helpful
| gifts and devoted service only TO,
ps snea his n which tho ass
flowers of his loving nature bloomed
perennially. He believed that no Other
relationship in life could be made to min
lister to the good of the soul-flling it witt
all sacred light and power, purity ant
, peace. 1t was his complete faith in Chris
tian truth as well as his natural affection
that caused his whole domestic life to b'
! ruled and blessed by the law of love q
given by the Christ he worshippsd. I
was equally well with the fond children

brother. There can be no darkness en-
: shrouded In these bereaved hearts Will
the memory of the light that has gone on
