DEATH OF REV. TOWNSEND.
The Pastor of the Church of the Holy
q Faith in This City Passes Quietly
Away After u Brief Illness.

Early on Sunday morning, the Rev.
Hale Townsend, quietly and peacefully
breathed his last. He had been an in
valid for some months, but continued his
clerical labors as far as he was able until
about six weeks ago, since which time he
has been confined to the house.
Mr.. Townsend came to Santa Fe year
and half ago from California, to take
charge of the church of the Holy Faith.
He was born in Detroit, but his parents
removed soon after to New York, and
we're connected with number of the
best known families in the Empire state.
The same devotion to principle which
characterized his whole life, led him to
study for the sacred ministry. To this
he was devoted to the day of his death.
At different times he had parishes in
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, California
and other states, being especially sue
cessful in Iowa in building churches at
Independence, Waverley, DEBORAH and
Emmetsburg.
was not found in great achievements or
conspicuous positions, but in his sweet
ness of disposition, his cheerfulness un-
der all circumstances, his entire devo-
ton to his work in the ministry ana that
absolute goodness which impressed every.
one who knew him. His life itself was
his best sermon. His practice preached
more loudly than any words. The in
tiuence of his pure, upselfish life was of
nestimable value. No one could be
with him without being better. His
presence in the community was like a
benediction; and, as has been recently
said, he did more good on a bed of sick-
ness than many clergyman using every
power of eloquence in his pulpit.
The influence of his brief sojourn
in Santa Fe of that example of quiet,
loving, helpful and sympathetic life,
guided always by the highest sense of
Christian duty, will long be felt, as an
example which others may well seek to
follow.
Mr.. Townsend was a member of the
standing committee of the jurisdiction of
New Mexico, and held other responsible
positions.
At morning service yesterday, Bishop
Kendrick spoke of his death, and in the
afternoon the committee in charge of the
church here, adopted minute expressive
Of their sorrow and their appreciation of
his character.
His funeral will take place tomorrow
at 10 a. m, at the church of the Holy
Faith.
