dences of God. There would be
tributes to his ever-growing love-
love for his home, love for his fell
low man, love for his Christ and
Savior.
Our acquaintance and friendship
with him had just begun. We
were like the uppermost branches OF
the vine, looking into the higher
branches of the tree. We saw for
a few short months, the matured
thought and action of the man, but
what we saw was full assurance Of
the years of growth into strength, a
strength sufficient to uphold all the
dignity and beauty of those upper
branches.
But there came a day when all
was promise an d hope and gladness
were in the hearts of everyone, that
the unseen and unexpected heaven
ly guest was with us and the invita-
ton to come up to higher things
was given to him whom we honor
to-day.
We see him no longer, the Wis
ible presence has been withdrawn,
but like the tree in the garden that
which he became in life still gives
form to those who lived and grew
and toiled with him, and looking
upon them we see the power of his
influence and personality giving
them shape and a like stateliness
of bearing.
Long after other memorials shall
have crumbled away, the influence
of this Christly man shall be going
on to complete a larger and nobler
work in the world. We rejoice that
when the body dies, the soul lives
and continues a work more beautiful
than anything that can be made
with hands.
