address Is good, and English he speaks fiu-
emily. The students with whom he has
been closely associated are loud In his
praise.
Clever, keen, bright and especially wen
posted IN metaphysics they say he is the
equal OF any of his contemporary theolo-
CLANS In debate. OF his race he is not
ashamed.
He is highly educated. master Of a doz-
