which he had often done before. Upon
reaching the pump, the animal either
became frightened, or the child not real

horse unguided, spoke suddenly to her

During his residence In Philadelphia he
was converted in old st. Georges Metho-
dist Episcopal Church under the preach
ing of Rev. William Barnes, a noted
Irish preacher, and maintained his
Christian integrity until the end of life.
He was honored by the church in being
called to positions of trust and RESPONSE
bility, being a trustee for many years, as
we'll as a class leader for forty years or
more, in which position he was unusually
successful, many of the older members
still referring to his kindly counsel and
helpfulness in the days now long agone.
He was also an ordained local preacher,
and in his earlier years had frequent calls
to preach, his labors always being
acceptable either at home or elsewhere.
He was devoted to the service of his
Master, and during all his illness, though
his sufferings were at times painful, he
maintained a cheerful, happy spirit,
to the last, and died in con fident
hope of life eternal.
