lmodic, but genuine and long continued,
sometimes in the face Of a great deal
of discouragement OF every good
cause he was an advocate, whether in
the chuch. the city or the state

otic societies. and was active in the
Law and Order socety. In all this he
saw the Lords work and gave his
hearty approval and personal cooper

He also was distinguished for his
genial manner and gracious conduct
toward everyone. He could adapt him
self to all conditions and circum-
stances.
BLESSED with a fine physical vigor
and a cheerful spirit he faced the
duties and trials of life with remark
able courage, bore his own trials with
great patience and cheered many an
other pilgrim by the wayside by his
kindly word and helpful encourage

In the homes of thousands through
out the length and breadth of this land
and in England where he lived for ten
/ years. he was a welcome guest. He
was strong in religious convictions,
loyal to principles, brave in the
advocacy of what was right and at all
times remarkably tolearnt of those
who differed.
Like a full river flowing onward in
/ majestic power, his life, without any
backward movement. flowed out into
the ocean of Gods love.

that we, too, may receive the blessing
of all those who like him abound IN
the work of the Lord"
