Bank, town, church and community.
AT times he was great sufferer. and
said to his friends: II do not want to

IN life as citizen and Christian was
OF great value TO US all; he exemplified
IN his life and character many of the
Onilstlan virtues and walked gently
and consistently in the path of the lust.
which is bright light and continued
more and more to the end of his life.
His home, was the home of Methodist
preachers and happy was he to hal e
them with him. He had a long fight
with disease, having been twice opera

malady. In his death we feel that we
have lost one of our strongest. and best
friends. He had that charity that
suiiereth long and is kind. We never
heard him utter an unkind word con-
'erning any one. May we endeavor
% emulate his example.
That we extend to his family and
