He i. dead. A good man has fallen
Truly, he was one of natures nOblemen
We shall see his kind and familiar face
no more among US. How we miss him
in his accustomed place this morning!
For the past three years he has been
our loving, faithful and efficient super
intendent. Who has known him but to
love him? Dead Such man cannot
die He is immortal. Death and the
grave had no terrors for him He simply
wrapped the drapery of his couch around
him and lay down as if to pleasant
dreams.
True, the grave will hold his body for
a while, but death had no sting for him
and the grave no victory.
What shall we say Of him? Servant
Of God, we'll done. He has fought good
fight, he has finished his work and con-
quored the last foe. Sweet rest and home
at last.
His good deeds can never die and the
influence of that beautiful and noble
christian life will live on through comm G
ages to bless the world. Does any one
doubt the reality of the christian religion?
Look at his life. Hear the dying mans
last testimony Of Gods goodness as he
exclaims with his last breath, "Bless the
Lord o my soul and all that is within
me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord
O my soul and forget not all his bene,
fits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities,
who healeth all diseases. VINO redeem
eth thy life from distinctions. Who
croWneth thee with loving kindness and
tender mercies, who satisfeth thy mouth
with good things 50 that the youth is
renewed like the eagles"
May his noble and unseltish life inspire
us to do our duty and to live in such a
way that we too shall be read and
waiting when the summons shall come
for us While we deeply feel our loss
We realize that it is gain to him and We
bow submissively to the will of Him W hc
doeth all things well.
We tender our heart felt sympathy to
his bereaved family and pray that the
Father whom he so faithfully served may
comfort and sustain them in this sad
bereavement and through all the trials of
life. l.. T. BUCHANAN
