GA Life Beautiful" Under this caption
the editor of the Baltimore Methodist, in his
issue of last week, pays the following tribute
to Rev j. B. Stitt, d D., who was once pastor
of Towson NJ. E. Church and who had many
friends and acquaintance in Baltimore county:
I'VE always feel that we must say lovely
things of our dead. There is enough fragrance
and beauty in the life of almost any friend we
atmosphere about his new-made grave-enough
ct Virtue ana o6e1sss IN the LIE OF almost
gies with mental reservations, all f0rgetful or
neglectful of sad blemishes and bad weaknesses
that once gave US deep sorrow or bitter ohense
Ours is now a sweeter duty, a freer service. We
need make no reserve of words as we speak of
our choice friend and beloved brother, j Joseph b.
Stitt, who has just gone to his home in the be-
yond. His was life beautiful and blessed. In
him was rare. rich adjustment of gentleness
and strength, OF refinement ana intelligence; OF
knight. 1t is seldom that we meet man of
deeper piety or one truer keyed to the no6ler
ascetic and yet he was a saint in the blessed
ministry of his life, and faithful servant of
Christ and his church. We knew him In the
earlier years when, for little time, we were
students together in the same school of the
prophets at Evanston. and young, associate pas
tors of the same church at Belvidere, ILL.,; and
our relations again grew somewhat intimate
when four years ago he sought to recruit his
failing strength at Clifton Springs, N. T., ana
often made glad our home by the charm of his
presence. From early manhood to that Easter
morning when his human life passed into the
life immortal he lived to make gladder and
better those among whom he moved, and to
help to bring this world to Christ.
"For thirty-1ve years he was beloved, faith
full and successful pastor and able preacher in
the Baltimore Conference. In the long list of
glorious men who have served the churches of
this conference, few have been so enshrined in
the hearts of the people as was Brother Slit
"Of the important churches of which he was
PASTOR the movements he promoted. the i'm
portant events of his life and the honors that
came to him, it is not our purpose to now write.
We simply pay here tribute of love and es-
TEEN to the memory of one for whose transition
earth is poorer and heaven Is richer.
IF we. his comrades and friends, are in grief
for the loss of this man of God, what must be
the wife and children. who must make the rest
of life's journey without his presence p

CALL TO EFFORT.

You can raise your voice for freedom,
II you cannot WELD the sword
II the feet are slow and feeble.
Fill with thunders Is the word:
II can face the coward braggart
With the lightning flash of truth.
And lay bare the lie OF power
With the giant strength Of youth.
That a wrong has proved successful
Is no reason 1t should live.
And lis duty calls TO action:
And the angels weapons give
To a man who weighs his honor
'Gainst a party or q cause
When hc knows its life disgraces
Nature just and righteous laws
And 20 you who feel the throbbings
OF the mighty pulse Of time,
There Is borne the clarion summons.
Like a prophets voice subllme.
For the man who owns his manhood
And whose presence masses wait.
That he lead them from oppression
Thro' the Red Sea waves of Fate.
Fling the weight Of custom from you.
Stand erect and be man,
Dare TO scorn the gold Of treason,
To Gods vast uplifting plan;
Dare with avarice to grapple.
That has robbed the peoples purse;
Dare 10 face the mob OF vultures
That have proved the peoples curse.
And from all the land Of freedom,
From the North and from the South,
Shall resound cheer Of triumph.
Echoed swift from mouth to mouth:
For the heart Of man beats proudly
At the voice II Freedoms call,
And there vibrates through his being
Life and hope and JOY for all.
