patch says:
REV. Mr. Christian enjoyed to an un-
usually high degree the love and conf
dence Of the people with whom ne was
thrown He was genial, sunny i'm dis
position, cordial in manner, and tender
and sympathetic. DIR. Lafferty, in his
Sketches of the Virginia Conference,
truly said of the deceased:
Grace and culture woven on a ma
tive wool of sterling character, have
given the conference a minister beloved
for ms noble qualities and admired for
his wise work in the church. The
welfare of zion is his chief JOY High
motives control his life; unworthy acts
are an abomination to him. a con
science void of offence towards God and
man is his exalted aim. He never
falters in duty. His voice and face in
yite confidence, and no man ever re-
GREETED opening his heart to him. lie
has served his church in important po-
sitions- gaining always a host Of att
tached friends and built up the King
dom Of God"
Mr.. Christian attracted attention in
almost any assembly. lie was tall
strikingly handsome. and had kind
and benign face. None knew him but
to love him"
