pital, also spread tender xpressions OF
their sorrow supopi ( the; minutes. The
Board OF Directors ct the Summer Rest
Association; took similar action, while the
officers of the Colored Young Mems Chris
tian Association gave expression to their
sense Of sorrow and loss through an open
letter. They. say, I'VE feel our loss very
@keenly. as our friend. Mr.. r. S.. Bosher
helped us by his advice, his very-day
life, his contact with us and his means.
Whenever we met him we could see noth-
ing but tho very spirit OF our Saviour,
ready TO help the weak.
Many incidents were told yesterday of
Mr.. Bosher's lberaity, how he visited
the sick and the distressed, how he offered
his means when such help was needed.
how he did It so modestly and gently that
apparently he was the one receiving the
favor. thus robbing the act OF the humil.
iation. He once said he gave freely and
gladly. The only question In his mind was
whether the aid would benefit Or njure.
One OF the matters which worried him
considerably was how he could use his
wealth for the greatest good.
