Distinctly Evangelical.


 As a preacher he was distinctly evan gellcal in his treatment of all theres, and was greatly blessed in his evangelis- tic services, which he frequently held either at the request of brethren or un- der the direction of the Presbytely.
 His diction was ehaste, his voice well modulated, rich and melodious, he spoke always with the greatest ease and tiuen1y.
 His last services in his own church marked the close of a delightful season of revival in which his hear. had been made glad by seeing the fruits of his min- istry in the acceptance of Christ by some for whom he had long labored and prayed.
 Gathered around the Table of odr Lord at this last precious service as fae clos of a season of grace. at the end of tho Presbyterial year, he blessed his people in Christ's name and finished the work God gave him to do in His earthly house.
 During inc following week he attended the sessions of the sPresbytery and on Thursday evening preached the Pres byteridl sermon in the First Presbyterian church at Eufaula, on Justification of Faith Alone.
 Vigorous in thought and presenting with great clearness the doctrines of grace, the message of this sermon was delivered with q persuasive tenderness that made a profound impression not only upon the I-GeSDy ltfN put tue at
 Little did those who listened to tie burning words that fell from his lips real ize that this message was swan song, the last exposition of the gospel message that should be heralded by that voice so soon to be silenced by death.
 Returning to Montgomery the following morning to conduct a funeral service lii his congregation. on the beautiful hill side of Oakwood cemetery, pr. Pattor- ..Y.. |. | of a child of God, lifted his hands in blessing upon the group of sorrowine friends gathered around the tninb, and his public ministry was closed forever. He was taken ill that night ard though he fingered for weeks during which pray CTS ascended from hundreds of homes feI his restoration to health, the disease fion which he was suffering developed at the last symptoms that baffled all medicai skill, and on May 23, he fell asleep. It was perhaps, however, during these | long weeks of anxiety and sorrow .hal his ministry in Montgomery received ifs seal. Patient. uncomplainng, brave in the face of death. thoughtful to the last Ge- gree of the comfort of others, grateful for the messages from the hundreds shal daily called to inquire for him, there went out from that sick chamber throughout the community an influence that bound | lle nedTlS or dll Iol bnly clOSel lb iil but closer to the Master whom he loves and into whose hands he had long asc | committed with unfaltering trust ali th, l interests of his life.
 | As one who knew him well and loVet I him dearly has said. His work is dosn In the fullness of life, and in the day 1 of his power he has been called homo but surely his work shall follow him. He gave himself with unstinted gener- osty to the great ministry of the Chuec, 1 of Christ on earth and 1t was striking 1 illustration of the place this minis trA held in his heart that among the las words that fell from his lips were "Homt ] Missions
