AN EPISTLE OF JESUS CHRIST.

Illinois, Jan. Doth, 1851. He
died at his home in Kansas City, Mo-,
Oct. Z. 1907.
While very young, he was filled
with the conviction that his mission
on earth was that of doing good
among his fellow-men. Accordingly,
when Is years OF age, he began his
lies work by entering the ministry
aud beginning the teachings of the
lowly Nazarene, and continued his
work of love and sympathy and help
until his death. 1t seems especial y
fitting that he should have been sum-
moned before the Great Bar OF Judg-
ment to give ccouu of his talents,
just at the closing of the day set apart
by the Almighty for His worship.
His last pastorate was the Vest
minister Presbyterian Church at YER
%sailles, Mo-, and he was a member Of
the Kansas City Presbytery at the
time OF his death.
He was active in all departments of
church work, but he believed strongly
in music as a medium OF worship, and
music occupied a very prominent
place in his services. The many who
have sat under his preaching will ev-
err recall the sound OF his voice raised
in anthems of praise.
His was, indeed, a ministry OF love.
With his great heart of love, he was
particularly drawn to children, and
his energies in their department OF the
church were untiring, His love and
sympathy went out in great measure
to all those who suffered. in body or
in spirit. He had a warm place in
his heart for all dumb creatures. and
his righteous indignation prevented,
in many instances, cruelty to his
friends in the animal kingdom.
During his last illness OF more than
two months, he was a great help and
comfort to the loved ones attending
him by his great patience, his cheer
tul appreciation OF the slightest SER
vice rendered, and by his steady de-
termination to 20 soon and re-
sumo his work of love among men.
He was laid to rest at Hillsdale,
ka3., his former home and pastoral
charge, where he had been to the
people OF that community pastor,
counsellor and friend. There, sur
rounded by the friends whose sons
and daughters he had married, whose
children he had baptized, and over
whose dead he had spoken words OF
sympathy and consolation. his body
vas laid to rest among many OF his
former co-workers in the church. DR..
