AUTHOR OF DEATH
BED SERMONS DIES

NEWARK. y. J.. Nov. 3O.-After re
markabie battle against death from
cancer. the Rev. Herman II. Barbour,
pastor of the North Baptist Church.
died here yesterday.
For months, IN the very shadow of
death. Mr.. Barbour prepared every
week a sermon, which was read 10 his
congregation on Sunday.
Two operations for cancer were un-
successful and the best medical and
surgical science failed to arrest the
progress of the minister's aff1iction. He
was most patient under his trial, and,
facing death, devoted his letters 70 his
congregation TO meditations upon the
wisdom OF the Divine Providence.
