10 refrain from entering into details
OF his services so ably and faithfully
rendered to the country at all times,
and especially in times of peril and
danger, and however agreeable 60 us
1t would be To recall and record all
these valuable and patriotic services
rendered by Senator Wiley, we realize
that we would he able only and briefly
10 repeat a biography and history
which Is SO faithfully and conspicuous.
Is embalmed in the hearts and mem
cries of his country. In current litera-
ture, aud on the historic pages of both
the State aud Nation for all coming
time.
The life, liberty and property OF his
fellow men found in him always a
most able and eloquent champion and
defender, and on all great questions
of morals his convictions were ever
deep, strong and Interchangeable for the
right, and by speech and pen he main
tained with all the rhetoric, force and
eloquence of matnred learning and
culture, and with an enthusiasm and
faith that captured the hearts aud
convinced the minds OF his hearers.
The record OF the church he loved SO
well, and of which In early manhood
he became a member, Will show for
about GO years of his later years, his
humble and constant devotion to duty
la the cause OF christianity, and the
confidence and esteem OF his brethren
In the church ia hestowing upon him
the highest Official honors; and wheth-
er 1t was as doorkeeper in the house
Of the Lord or as lay representa-
tive from It's annual TO its General
Conference, his dignity, genality and
ability at once won recognition and
distinction. 1t was common
saying among his Christian brethren
that II his ambition had led him In
early life TO have chosen as a suitable
professional arena for his talents, the
pulpit instead Of the bar, he would
have won the honorable distinction OF
being easily more than the peer Of his
colleagues In the ranks Of the Episeo-
pay.
