Oh =
QUESTION to the church. Preaching from
the first two verses Of the 18th Psalm,
the Bishop OF Liverpool said it was no
| easy matter for him to speak on that
occasion i'll that church to that assembly
1t was difficult for brother to dwell on
Il brother whose memory was still un-
speakably dear, difficult to speak in a
church associated with some of the
happiest memories OF his childhood, in
which they were both confirmed, difficult
to speak to those who knew them both
as boys; but when he remembered that
his duty that night was not to exalt the
dead. but to honour the God of the living,
and to seek by Gods help to draw from
the history OF the past some few lessons
which might help them to serve Him the
better in the present and the future, when
he remeE bered that they were there to
thank God for the blessed dead, his task
was made somewhat easier. There were
four traits in his brothers characte r.
continued the bishop, which had burned
themselves into the memories of all
those who knew him from childhood
There was first his absolute truthfUlness
He scorned to tell lie, and was a man
to whom all stiffness and evasiveness
aud deceitfulness, all the tricks of trade,
and all the tricky means which men use
to over reach one another were absolute
~ hateful. The second trait was his
thoroughness He possessed in a great
degree the capacity for taking infinite
pains, and no hurried work. if he could
help it, ever left his hands The third
trait was his kindess of heart A boy
whose greatest delights was to spend his
time with birds and animals, he grew up
with heart open to every claim of real
need. He (the Bishop would add yet a
fourth trait-his unfailing unselfishness
and modesty. There We're some who re-
membered how he took office in connec-
ton with Holy Trinity Church, and how
thoroughly he threw himself into the
work, but when his year of office expired
he did not deem himself good enough to
continue in it. He was not a man who
talked much about religion; the name of
God was not much on his lips, but the
fear OF God was before his eyes. And SO
the window which had just been unveiled
would, the Bishop ventured to think,
| exactly meet his own wishes. He, him
self, as it were, hidden, but his Master
whom he served, was held up before the
eyes of the congregation and the church.
