He had fought the good fight and never
faltered for want of courage to do what
he believed to be right.

knightly man. and he was a Christian
knight He was son of the manse and
he brought from his fathers home the
Influences and principles of the religion
IN which he had been trained, the teach
ings of the Lord"
1t was that faith and that teaching that
inspired every motive of Gen. Boyntons
life and gave him the courage of a thou

mo hymn could more properly speak the
symbol of his life Dr. Radcliffe said,
than the hymn just sung at his request.
1t expressed the simple faith that moved
him, the consciousness of personal worth
lessness, the constant dependence upon the
Son of God.
That is the explanation of that life and
the explanation of that courage.
He was a Christian knight and the i'm
pulse of Christian knighthood dominated
him."
The preacher spoke of his devotion to
country, which he said was at all times and
under all circumstances the dominant SEN
timent that actuated him.
