amused with the treatment which she
inhaled, although she was conscious
that the end was near.
She told the governor and relatives
and her physician when she suffered
the relapsed Tuesday night that she
could not get well and that it was
useless to give medicine, but she was
submissive to any treatment they
chose to administer. At intervals
through the night she was somewhat
restless, but no more than usual. Al

Five years later they went to Gal.

In appearance Mrs. Dockery was

THE LATE REV. GEORGE A. HUB BELL.
A Former Presiding Elder of the New Haven M E District

"A Former Presiding Elder of the New
 Haven M E. District.
 The Rev. George A. Hubbell, who died an Vineland, N. J., a few weeks ago, was at one time presiding elder of the New Haven and Bridgeport districts of the New York East Conference.
 The Christian Advocate gave the fol- lowing account of Rev. G. A. Hubbell's death and a brief history of his life:
 George Albert Hubbell was born in Newtown, Conn.,, June 1, 1924. His pa- rents were members of the Protestant Episcopal church, but his home life was broken when he was left fatherless at the age of seven years. Before his ninth birthday he was sent out to earn his living among farmers, where he had some bitter experiences. At the age of twelve he began work in the woolen mill in Sandy Hook, Conn.,, as an ap- prentice. Four years later the Rev. Nathaniel Meade was appointed to Newtown circuit, and the following win. ter conducted revival meetings in hall in Sandy Hook. The singing attracted the factory boys, and one night, under a sermon by the Rev. Cyrus Foss, fath- CT of Bishop Foss, from the words, I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christi Brother Hubbell received his first conception of practical Christiani- ty; but it was the clear, sweet testimo- ny of Mrs. Mead that made him long to know her Saviour as his own. His spiritual birthday was February 8, 1S40. o+ t,; ft1I, or the Bible, at first going to the home of his class leader for that purpose, and during working hours in the mill he wore out a copy of the New Testament as it lay on his machine. His rule was to rise at four o'clock, and devote two hours to hard study before breakfast and after long day in the mill bore over his books as long as possible. At eighteen he was made class leader and exhorter and at twenty licensed to preach.
 He progressed far in preparation for college, in which he was ambitious to advance his education, but his presiding elder, the Rev. Laban Clark, persuaded him to join New York Conference in 1S45 when he was made the first pastor or the CUurCTl at AeFlueH. III 1o4o WIltlI New York East Conference had it's ori- gin, his name was among it's members, and in it's need of labor he completed his fifty consecutive years of useful toil. His pastoral charges were Meriden (twice), Berlin, Wolcottville (now Tor rington), Woodbury (twice), Fair Ha- ven (now East Pearl street), New Ha- ven (twice), Milford, Durham, Birming- ham (now Derby), Carlton avenue (now Simpson,, Brooklyn. Waterbury, Mid- dIetown, Forsyth street, New York; Eighteenth street (now First church, Brooklyn, Bridgeport First church, An sonia, Georgetown, Southport New Ro- chelle First church and St. Luke's, Brooklyn. In addition to the great work represented above he was presid- ing elder of Bridgeport and New Haven districts. In this arduous and delicate work he devoted most assiduous study

and care to the interests of the church. es and the adoption and happiness of their pastors; and in all his work he kept in view as the; great desideratum the building up of believers in the holy faith and the leading of souls to his Master
 After completing his fiftieth year of service, in 1895, Brother Hubbell be- came superannuate on account of falling health, and purchased a pleas ant home in Vineland, N. J., where he espnt the rest of his life amid appreci- ative friends. He there endeared him. eslf to all who knew him by persistent work in prayer eeting, the Epworth League. and the pulpits of all the churches. Especially dear was he to a class of young people which he led ur1- til his deafness made it impossible to hear their testimonies. He was pre- enninently fitted for this work by his natural talents and by his unwearied application to Bible study, one result of which was Harmony of the Gospels" |" on which he spent many years of inves- tigation, a11w which he nearly comple- ted. Strange as it may seem, he wrote a new sermon almost every week up to the end. He was anxious to keep men, tally bright and fresh, writing five or ore hours daily. During the Spanish war his patriotism was intense, and he wrote a comprehensive history of the United States at that time.
 Though growing more and more fec ble, he seldom missed a Sabbath or prayer meeting service. On the even ing before his death he was in his usual place and when the chorus was sung, And I shall see Him face to face, and tell the story saved by grace" several persons noticed @ remarkable express sion on his face, as if he were catching a forestate of that blissful experience. After breakfast on May he read Psalms 34, commenting on the first clause, T will bless the Lord" Before eleven o'clock he was taken violently i'll, and after four hours of intense suffer- ing fell asleep with smile upuon his face.
 The funeral was held in Vineland church. The pastor, the Rev. J. l.. Roe, gave sketch of his lifework. Dr. Kingsbury, of Newark conference, a superannuated. comrade, spoke of his beautiful character and the influence of his cheerful and devoted life on the community. The Rev. MT Matthews offered prayer; all the pastors in the town were present as mourners. His body was laid to rest in Vineland, where his blessed memory will long be a benediction.
 On May 6, 1s47 Brother Hubbell was married to Miss Emily L. Sherman, of Newtown, who became Christian in the same revival of religion and joined the same class with him, and survives, with one son and one daughter and four grandchildren, all of whom are follow CTS of Christ in the Methodist Episcopal church.
