When it was noised that he was
no more, all those who knew him
lamented the sudden demise Of one
of such sterling worth.
Yes, he is dead, but his imagery will
live forever in the hearts of those
who knew him we'll. He did not
live for self, but spent his time for
the benefit Of others. Those noble
impulses which were innate in him,
were ever being refreshed by distrib-
uting the bread of charity. The
hand Of penury, when extended, did
not go away empty. Never contend.
ing, but ever ready to assist the un-
fortunate, his was the voluntary
life of sacrifice. Like the Master,
he said, today and tomorrow l must
do. And be was not one of those
who say and do not He did his
duty-none can do more. He was
one of those men who could not be
made to swerve from duty. In those
DAYS that tried mems souls when
all was anarchy, he stood sublimely
firm, and helped to support such a
State government as the classes were
willing to accept.
He was, indeed, brother and
uncle who had not a pear; from boy.
hood ever administering to their
every want. Never complaining, al
ways willing to do all within his
power.
Forget not those who have fallen
asleep, for their lives oft remind US
of the derecting Hand that guides
us on the way to a better life. And
we have a lively hope through faith,
that in that great day, when the an
gel of God shall sound the resurrec-
ton trump, that he will rise with
the just on earth. AFsIsND.
