that he was capable of. He was

a loss in his death.

period of our acquaintance, yet |

and l regarded him as one of my
dearest friends. In the death of
DR.. Morse, | feel | have lost
brother and friend, whose friend
ship shall cherish as long as mem
DRY shall serve me. Kindly extend
my sincerest sympathy to his fam
lily in their great bereavement.

at was with deep regret that |
learned of the death of my former
pastor and friend. AS an Elder
of his church and Superintendent
of the Sabbath School, l was init
mately associated with Rev. Mr..
Morse during his pastorate here.
| soon came to love him dearly and
l look back with pleasure to his
days of ministry here and to his
labors which were abundantly blest.
There were many sorrowful hearts
when the tidings reached our COM
munity that the dear Lord had
called him home This is one of
His providences that we cannot
understand but this we do know
N"He is too wise to err
"Too good to be unkind
and all that He does is done in love
and some day we shall understand
it all. He was one of the most COM
panionable and lovable men that
it has been my privilege to know
and as / wrote his dear wife, | shall
look forward with anticipation to
many delightful hours of compan-
ionship with him in the blessed
homeland.
Thanking you for this privilege
of adding brief tribute to the
memory Of one who was dear to me,
81 am sincerely yours,
walter j. LEWIS"

"The news of the death of Mr..
Morse came to us with the deep
sense of a personal loss. During
the three months and more that
he came to minister to us week by
week he endeared himself very
closely to our people. We saw in
him from the very beginning not
only a great preacher but large
hearted, lovable man, "a man "who |
loved his fellow men.
"Her mother showed the pic
ture of DR.. Morse as it appeared in
the Bradford paper to our little five |
year old daughter with the question, !
ado you remember Mr.. Morse who |
used to come to see us?" The !
little girl replied, "That is not !
Mr.. Morse. That man is not smil-
ing" And thus he impressed him
self on us all-his large heartedness,
his kindly disposition, his interest
in all the petty affairs of our little
community and of our individual
lives. His strong spirit of hope
fulness brought cheer wherever he
went.
"And then his sermons, we can
not forget them-so clear cut, so
well worded and so forcefully pre-
sented. His first sermon was found
ed upon the text consisting of one
word found in the first verse of the
first chapter of the first book of
the Bible-God. When he an
nonuced his text many in the con-
gregation looked for something very
"dry." But it was a wonderful
exposition of what God is and even
the usually more restless of our
Academy boys were sorry when he
ended the service.
1--WE at Meriden, -townspeople
and students rejoice that we knew
DIR. Morse, or rather would | say
rejoice that we know him for he
must continue to live in the hearts
and lives of those who have come
within the circle Of his forceful,
sympathetic personality.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES ALDEN TRACY.
