 Sunday afternoon as the rays of the de- elinng sun fell upon the white monuments that tell of the virtues of those who lie asleep in Oak Hill cemetery, they illumi- hated the new made grave of one of the fruest and purest of Birmingham's citizens. The life of the man who was laid to rest amid the tears of those who had loved and known him best had been as fragrant of good deeds, quietly done, as were the How CTS that covered the brown earth that lay above his silent heart As gentle as woman, intellectual, unostentatious, loyal and faithful, he performed the duties of life as became a man and Chrlstlan: Among the poor he spent his money and gave the sympathy of a loving disciple who kept ever in mind those words of his Mas Mas ter: "InaSmuch as ye did 1t unto the least of one of these ye did it unto me
 Through the long watches of many night he kept untlring vigil at the bedside ot the poor and friendless, and taught hu- manity what practical Christianity means. No man liveth unto himself, and no man dieth unto himself" and surely the uncon- seious testimony borne on Sunday after noon by hundreds of friends indicated that the quiet, manly, upright life of MT. George R. Ward had touched at many vital points the citizens of Birmingham; and no one ;. ample until the coming of death snapped so 1 many cords aSunder. Suddenly the sum of death descended unto the happy home but he was prepared for the great change and little child he fell asleep to awake beyond the stars.
