 '"The undersigned, pastors of Water bury. would place on record their pro- found sense of the loss experienced in the death of the Rev Francis J. Parry, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church of this city
 We declare our admiration of our brothers broad culture and catholic spirit. his fraternal kindness and habit ually genial and courteous manner, his interest in every class of his fellow men and in every phase of human fife; his thoughtful and unselfish devotion to the public good, his consecration to the | furtherance of the kingdom of God. During the five years since he came to us he has won our confidence and af- l lection and given up new appreeia- tion of the possibilities for good per | off1is f,N "a 1at haA ep0 Although he has been taken from us by one of those mystel ious. prov- dences which startlingly emphasize the 1 fact to which he so recently referred, l that Tn the midst of life we are in l death.' and although we feel most keenly the shock of his sudden re- moval. yet we can but realize that | there were special fitness and beauty in his falling. with mental powers un- impaired, in the midst of his multiplied activities, We rejoice that for him the transition from earthly toll to heavenly 1 rest and reward was so swift. and that in seeming overthrow he found. as we doubt not, faiths glorious victory.
 We would express to the bereaved wife and son and other kindred our tender sympathy, praying that the Con- forter may abide with them, that the consolations so effectively dispensed by their loved one may avail for those most dear to him, and that in the lnem- ory of his noble life and iu the hope 1 of reunion beyond earth's shadows they may find peace.
 We condole with the First Baptist church in it's loss of so able and be l loved pastor, believing that the, inl- pulse toward all worthy endeavors which it has received from him will long be felt, and that though dead he will yet speak tenderly and persuasive. l ly to those who have received the bene- l fit of his helpful ministrations.

 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arns.'
