suffering with a Caristian fortitude,
and he died in the full triumph of faith
and the blessed assurance of his Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. During the
struggle between life and death, he
could be heard singing and praying and
when the fatal hour arrived, he simply
laid his head on Jesus breast and
breathed his life out sweetly there.
For a number Of wears, he was men,
ber of the Moore st. Baptist Church of
Richmond.
Henry made himself very popular in
New York by his excellent and interest
ing recitations, and his services were al
ways in demand. Few young men can
boast OF such an excellent record and
reputation as he did, for he was we'll be-
loved by this community, and his death
will be great shock as we'll as a sur
prise co his many friends. He leaves a
wife and host of relatives and friends
to mourn their loss.
Henry was under the sl0illful care of
the following trained nurses and the
writer; Miss r. l.. Morrow, Miss Julia
Coggswell, Mrs. Trent and Mrs. Carey.
"He feeds in pastures large and fair,
OF love and truth divine;
A child OF God, . glory's heir,
How rich u lot is thine.
A hand almighty to defend,
An ear for every call;
An honored life, "A peaceful end,
And Heaven has crowned it all.
His friend,
r. II. EPPS.

a loving husband and father and a

These white people employ white

they give us Gods speed. Some of our
best friends among the white people,

living in the south.

Why the competitive drill did not oc-
cur on last Tuesday evening after the
