DR.. Wilson sermon was eloquent.
AS he said, he could not say too much
of life such as had been Mr.. Hum,
bert's.
"Let me die the death Of the right
eous, and let my last end Ibe like his, "
was the theme of DR.. Wilson's adj
dress. When some man of God should
speak the solemn words of the last ;
service he would like for it to be pos
sible for it to be said of him, "Let
me die the death of the righteous, and
let my last end be like his.
DR.. Wilson spoke of Mr.. Hum
bert's life at college. During the
last two weeks, some one who was
with Mr.. Humbert at college, in talk
ing Of him, had Said, as matter of
course, "Oh, John Humbert was a
good boy at College, Those who
knew him all during his life were
ready to say that IN all of it there was
not stain or blot There was rea-
son to speak of a life such as was
his. He spoke of three things that
marked him as man. The first was
that he was a man of clean life and
of clean lips. Nobody ever heard
those lips utter Il sound which a wo-
mans ear could not hear. Was that
a little thing9 Think before you say
that is little thing. said DR.. Wilson.
Clean lips and a clean life were Mr..
Humbelt 5. In all phases he was
clean, for clean mind and a clean
heart demanded an outer exhibition
of cleanliness.
DR.. Wilson spoke of his unfailing
courtesy. Genuine courtesy must
come from tender, loving heart. Mr..
llumbert was Il courageous man, he
said. llr didn't mean that his voice
was loud and that threats were heard
frcm his lips. Those who were most
courageous were sometimes softest
and SlowcSt in their speech They
show their courage by holding them
selves in. Mr.. FIumbert was never
ashamed to stand where duty called
him.
The summit of human kind, said
DR.. Wilson. was Il gcnuinn Christian.

Il man Of faith, Christian gentle
man. lie was never hcsitant in speak.

modest man, he never for moment

was an charging and expanding life.
AT the tolmost round vf the bidder he
was ready to step off even unto the .
Things that belonged to the eternal.
Sometimes he told of old experiences.
Or. WILSON. recalled the time when he
tod OF the little prayer meeting wien
only. he and ain old woman and the
sexton were present. But at any time
lie could tell Of happy days and ex-
perlences just back of hi'a.
Mi. Humbert was studious breach
or, said DR.. Wilson. He spoke of
his deep. and abiding sympathy with
the troubles Of all human kind. = - =
Dr. Wilson'S close was eloquent.
';:Sleep, on ipsthis lreamless slumber
upon which You have gone" he said.
The storms should, never move him
more. The disappointments, if anv
came should never stir him moro !
