4 GREAT MANS
CAREER ENDED.
Dr., John A. Broadus, President Of
the Southern Baptist TheO-
logical Seminary,
with a Well Rounded Work Enters
Upon His Reward.

AT his home in Louisville on last
Saturday morning at 3 40 O'Clock DIR.
John A. Broadus in the seventy second
year of his age from pneumonia and
organic heart trouble yielded to the
inevitable. His funeral service was
held at the Fourth and Walnut street
Baptist church Sunday afternoon and
his remains were buried in Cave Hill
cemetery by the side of his co-worker,
DIR. James T. Boyce. DIR. Broadus
stood at the top with the greatest
preachers and scholars Of the world
being regarded one the greatest of men
aud his reputation as a scholar,
preacher, teacher and author extended
not only through the United States
but also through Europe, everywhere
among the scholars Of the world was
he regarded as ananthority, and the
loss of such man is indeed a calamity
not only to the Baptist church, the
doctrines Of which he was an able ex-
FOUNDER, but to all other churches as
well.
The filling of his place in the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary of which he was President, will
be difficult task. Great, humble
and.pure he walked with God, and for
every achievement he gave Him the
glory. No truer portrait of the gifted
man can be given than the tribute in
the Louisville Times which was
written while his lite was fast ebbing
away.
LAS gentle Izaak Walton said of
the strawberry, it may truthfully be
said of DIR. John A. Broadus, who is
now being gathered as one of Reaper
Deaths richest sheaves, that the good
Lord might in His omnipotence have
msnle better, greater man, but it is
by NO means assured that he ever did.
Meek as Moses, wise as Solomon
patient assJob, dauntless and eloquent
as Saul of Tarsus, lovable as John, the
! beloved disciple, upon him every god
doth seem to have his seal to give the
world assurance of man. After he
shall have been gathered to his fathers
it viii be long before his church, his
city. his country shall again look upon
Ibis like. Center than woman
braverthan lion, more learned than
Erasmus, he walked the strait path

to his God, but lowered his crest to nc

Gus, so radiant, so melifluous must go
out in the deepening of the shadows of

1t was apparent twentY-four hours
before, that he could not long survive.
During the past year his health has
not been as good as usual, and in JAN
uary he spent three weeks in Florida,
and returned much improved. Just
at this time the extreme cold weather
r ached this section, and as result OF
the contrast with the mild climate in
which he had been sojourning, DR..
Broadus contracted a severe cold &.
This developed into pneumonia and
also affected his heart.
AT the service at the Walnut street
Baptist church Sunday DR., VIM. d.
Thomas, member of the faculty of
the Baptist College at Richmond, Va,
delivered the principal address. Rev.
P. S. Henson, ID. D., pastor of the First
Baptist church, Chicago, participated
as the representative of the Baptists OF
the North. DR.. G. e. Hemphill, Pres
ident of the Presbyterian Theological
Seminary, Louisville and DR.. T. T.
Eaton also delivered addresses. The
Confederate Veterans Association, OF
which DR.. Broadus was a member,
and the students of the Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary, of which he was
President, 275 in number, marched in
body to the grave.
Two-thirds of the Southern Baptist
missionaries in Africa, Brazil, China
italy, Japan and Mexico were taught
by him, as were also three-tourths OF
the pastors in Souther Baptist pulpits
The colored pastors and people are
also sensible of their great loss. DR.
Broadus' last appearance at the
General Association of Kentucky Bap-
lists was to make plea for colored
preachers. DR.. McRidley, a colored
teacher, had made plea for his
Normal school at Cadiz; the matter
was about to be passed without favor
able action; DR.. Broadus took the
floor and said: "Iet us have collec-
tion," and although little objection
was made, he carried the day, as was
his way. He went through the church
and collected the money in his own
hat. On another occasion at the
Southern Baptist convention when he
spoke of the Home Board he said Of
the colored people:
"Heaven help me, ! shall say
nothing of the race problem, or any
other problem. You can't solve 9

one cook last winter struck her colors and
marched out of her titled, clcCtric-lighted
kitchen, a physical wreck Get some

the mistress who had actually never seen
her unfortunate servitor.
The coachman also has his grievances.
He must take his mistress shopping in the
morning, calling after luncheon, to the
park in the afternoon, and out again in
the evening. No one but fashona bic
coachman knows the concentrated agony
of sitting hour after hour imnubile in
the rain, snow, and freezing air while
his fair employer dawdles long after the
hour set for him TO call. His features fall
victims TO Jack Frost, his lungs to pneu-
monia, or, as was the case last winter
when the master of the house climbed to
the box-seat to wake his Goa Gilman, he
is found inseDsible almost beyond recugni-

icy step and broke his hip, the night of

There is no question of gratitude fidelity,
or consideration on either side, and to the
