DR.. Williams and Mr.. White were
close friends. Dr.. Williams, in the
course of his address. said: 1t rare
ly occurs that man becomes so gem
erally and favorably known in pop
.ulous community and gathers about
him so many devoted friends in so
short time. Men saw in him the
qualities of genuine manhood, and
they gave him their confidence and es-
teen; they found him purc-minded
and kind and sympathetic, and they
gave him their love. The most ingen-
ioUs. transparent characters are the
most easily and quickly known. The
man in whom there is the least re-
serve, in whom there is an absence OF
all pretense and assimilation is soon
estimated at his true worth. His acts
and words are the true opponents of
his character.
