|. Rev. Kenneth Money was born in
Beeman. Iowa. and passed into rest
February q. 1907. aged 81 year,. 3
months and q days. He was born
and reared on farm. At the age
Of 10 he prepared for school teach
ing and taught two successive
terms. When y years Of age he en-
tered Cornell College. Iowa. and
completed the course in 1901.
From childhood he was spiritually
inclined. He was converted at the
early age Of nine and experienced re-
newing grace at Is years. Soon A.
terward he joined the n. (. church
and felt called to the ministry. He
became . member Of the Upper Iowa

sons. His work at Fowler will nev-
er be forgotten. The people at that
place cherish his memory with loving
tenderness. Multitudes bear wit.
nes to the efficiency Of his work in
La Junta. Like the Master he
served. he spared not himself. but
gave himself to the Lords work
with complete abandon. Many peO-
pie in this city whom he helped into
= better life rise and call his MEM
ory blessed. We mourn that one SO
young and promising and deeply
consecrated to Christian work should
be called to lay aside the weapons Of
this warfare. But through our
tears We see him risen to white robe
and harp and crown.
Brother Money was possessed Of
fine intellect. He was widely read.
intense in thought and rich in pub
lie utterance. Heroicaily he strug-
gled for recovery Of health. He
longed for strength to preach the
glorious gospel. but man proposes
and God disposes. and why. mortal
man knoweth not. nor can he con-
ceive Of Z reason.
