piece of colored glass would be to him more valuable than the most beauti- full diamond: so the judgment of man is not always to be depended upon, but we know that the Great Judge puts true value, knowing all the thoughts and intents of the heart, and that He will never misjudge us: that God IS righteous judge. There is story that every soul that one is the means of saving here oni earth, adds jewel to our crown. l myself love to think of Christ having gone on before us to prepare that beautiful mansion for us, which He has told us about. love to think of that mansion as being beautt- full and grand beyond conception, and when I have seen some of the magni- tcenJ sights that have been made by man on earth here, I think if man can create these, what must what God can create be like? I think of that mansion that Christ is going to build for us as being something beyond hu- man comprehension, but I think that possibly the walls of that mansion on the inside are plain and bare and that every little act and deed of ours, every little kindness that we can show here which we can give, help to furnish that mansion, adding as it were a lit- tie picture here, little work of art there, a little Statuary in this corner and something to fill up bare niche somewhere else, and if such fancy were true, we would know that Brother Brott'S mansion must have some fur niSingS which none of us know any thing of, for Brother Brott, in many little acts of kindness, spoke many words of cheer, for he was of a cheer. full disposition and thought nothing of too much trouble, if it could do some good to some one else. l have known of his furnishing goods to those that had not the price to pay for them, many time when no one else would do it and when he could really little afford to do it. Sunday after Sunday, he would hitch up his horse, go down into the Glen and other places at a distance, bringing back his wagon loaded, often having to walk himself. that he might get those that had no other means of going to church, to his own church, which he loved so we'll, and also to the church of God of every denomination which church he loved the better. We cannot believe that such acts will not have their reward in the great Hereafter. 1 for one, and l know the feeling is shared by other preachers that are coming up here, will miss him in our services, will lose a his pleasant face, attentive air and attitude of seemingly drinking in everything spoken, was great help to the preacher. He was one of the largest hearted men that you very often meet, and while there may have been little things tbat we would not have had so, for you know the best of us are very imperfect, still his large nature made these things unworthy of notice. As we look at d large piece of machinery, possibly locomotive for instance, as it stands throbbing beside us, we look at it and wonder to our. mechanism, 5 not looking or thinking for possibly the few small scratches that might be upon it; all we think of is what it accomplishes. While Broth CT Brott will not be with us from this forth, we know that he has gone to that better Home, simply gone little. while before, that this jewel case that lies here has not in it the jewel which was the real heart, that has gone to dwell with it's Maker, that the life that was lived here below, while it's influence may have been great and be very lasting was but as it were the preface of a book; that the real life is yet to be lived by him and that he will be there waiting and watching for us to greet us on the other shore. l n.y. self shall always remember Brother Brott. My remembrance of him will not be altogether as l have seen him, day by day, Sunday after Sun day, but will be most vivid in my mind as I saw him one day,
 when we were returning from the Glen, where he had taken me to make some visits. We were driving back together talking of what we got out of the Christian life and the good that we might do, when 1 said to him,
 Brother BrOtt, you do not know what the future has in store for you, you do not know what good you can do and what good you are doing," little think ing how short that future would be. the road, turned to me with an ex- ambition would have put there, and said "Do you think I can and am?" This is the picture that l shall carry of Brother Brott. That look showed
 me more of his nature than had ever seen. This will be an inspiration to me to try and do good and love doing it as he did" The pail bearers were: Charles Hawley, George Graham, Am mon Taylor, Edward Troy, Charles
