TRIBUTE TO HENRY
WAREHOUSE

In the Central Union Church Record
- the following tribute to the late
Henry Warehouse:
The pastors personal relations with

TOD of his ministry in Honolulu. 1t
,,,e to him now as a golden chain,
ob link of which constitutes a beau
+if,,l memory. During an active minis
nv of over twenty-five years the pas
FOR has never come in contact with
oburch official who has endeared him
10 more to his heart by his loyal CO.
oneatfon. His was friendship which,
once given, never sWeryed. He was
man of many friends. Popularity
came to him as naturally as if it We're
an endowment of his birth. He made
Sriands as easily as he kept them. To
Ineet him was to come under the IN
anence of a gentle, sunny, affectionate
rat,,re such as few men have the for
+,ne TO possess. Strong as he was in
his beliefs, courageous as he was in
bis convictions, and unyielding as he
-ae i'm his sense of right and honor,
- seemed impossible for him to make
on enemy. He dwelt in an atmosphere
which drew men, and especially chill
dreu. TO him. There was no show, no
nretense; but there was the simple per-
forrnance of duty. He was noble
TYNE of Christian manhood. He loved
m do good. He delighted to make 9TH
ops happy The pastor never met a
man that had a profounder and sweet
or sympathy In the official meetings
of the church, he was ever peace
maker: and it takes rare WISDOM &c
he that-rare tact and disinterestedhess
He lived the Christian life; not profess
;ng Christianity merely and failing tc
manifest it's spirit; he lived it, and n;
works do follow him." 1t was not per.
