of over $4,000. 1t was written by
Bishop McCabe, better known as Chap
lain McCabe-a bishop of the Metho-
dist church, and who is known the
world over as one of the great men of
Methodism. 1t demands great soul
to discern and appreciate great soul.
No man could better understand, no
more fittingly euligize Rev. Warman
than Bishop McCabe. He is man of
whose notice one might feel Justly
gratified, and we note with pride the
high esteem in which he held him
whose loss we so greatly mourn.
'Rev. Henry Warman, the presiding
elder of Yellowstone District, Montana
Conference, died on Nov. II, in the
Asbury hospital at Minneapolis. At
the last session of the Montana Con-
ference, held in Livingston, Mont, in
August, I appointed him to the new
Yellowstone District, a vast stretch of
country into which hundreds of home
seekers are going. His district was
400 miles long and nearly half as
broad, Or nearly twice the size of the
state of Ohio. He accepted the APP
pointment with great enthusiasm.
cat the close Of conference Brother
Warman, with several other preachers,
accompanied me through the Yellow
stone Park to look upon the wonders of
God in that marvellous spot. On Sab
beth evening we gathered around a
campfire with a large number of
1aboring men, who were constructing
a government bridge in the park, and
Brother Warman preached to us--a
sweet sermon, full Of power. The Wis
ion of his tat talwsrt frame and
heaven-1it countenance, as in the fire.
light he talked to us of the love of God,
comes to me as almost my last sight of
him.
''He made his first round and wrote
10 me as follows:
81 have just returned from the lower
Yellowstone. l went to Glendive, 125
miles by rail, to Sidney, sixty miles
by stage. Here spent two days
working with a threshing crew for a
team. visited 800 families, travelled
500 miles by private conveyance, and
preached each night, and three times
on the Lord S day. l read and prayed
in all the homes, and the sobbing of
the families around the alters often al
most drowned my voice. Many of these
people had not seen a preacher for fiji
teen or twenty years. The gospel has
lost none Of it's power, and the human
heart is as hungry for Christ as ever.
I was raising money to buy a team
of horses and a wagon for him when I
learned that he was in the hospital in
Minneapolis, to undergo a surgical op-
GRAFTON. This was performed on Oct
8. Just before it occurred he wrote to
me the following letter, which l now
read with teardimmed eyes:
Dear Brother: 1 am now ready
for the operating and hope for
good results. If, however, this should
not be the case, do not forget our great
Yellowstone District, but press the
claims vigorously before the General
Committee. 1t has greater possibi,i.
ties than l ever dreamed of. The
people are coming by the hundreds
and we are the only church that car
give them any supervision whatever.
1 rested sweetly last night. Am in a
most happy frame of mind this morn
ing, and all is we'll. Very sincerely
yours, Henry Warman.
"Complications arose, pneumonia Sc
in, and he passed from earth in great
peace. Henry Warman, brave, noble
soldier of Jesus Christ, farewell!
shall know where to find you in a lit
tie while.
''4e left two boys. Their mothel
died last February. They are under
the care of brother Warman's sister
Mrs. Melvin Rumohr, whose husband
is pas.or of our church at Forsyth
Mont. Pray that these little boys may
be trained to take their fathers place
in the ministry of our church, and tha
they may spend their lives preaching
the gospel of Jesus. They should b.
regarded as children of the Montana
conference
