we're attacks due to enfeebled heart ac-
ton and hardening of the arteries. Al
though only in his Goth year, the prodi-
gious volume of work he performed as
the mission Bishop of Methodism," had
greatly weakened his once powerful ply
sique, and he was in no condition to
withstand the lung congestion that
caused his death.
The passing away of the foremost
bishop in Methodism was quiet and
peaceful. There were no death agonies,
no suffering, no anguish of flesh or spir-
it while the sands of his life slowly
ebbed away. Save for the labored
breathing incident to the pulmonary
trouble that was the direct cause of de-
mise, he dropped into eternal slumber
like little child crooned to sleep by the
lullabies of loving mother.
Until toward o'clock Wednesday
morning the grieving loved ones and
anxious watchers at the bedside could
observe no perceptible change in his con-
dtion. At that hour the breathing
grew more irregular, the pulse slowly
ebbed away, and at the hour of o'clock,
just as the sun was peeping over the
horizon to illumine with its brightest
rays community plunged into the dark
est depths of grief and gloom, the soul
of Charles B. Galloway winged its flight
to the God who gave it.

His ship the Mary Jane.

This pirate shed some blood,
And then It's said they killed him dead,
And changed his name to Mud

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
At Every Stage of 1t He Was a Bril-
liant Man.

Bishop Charles Belts Galloway, one
of the general superintendent of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was
born in Kosciusko, Miss, Sept. 1, 1S49.
His father was a prosperous physician
and a man of taste and culture. The
son was tenderly reared and early i'm
bibed clear and strong religious convic-
tions and followed high purposes and
ideals. After attending the common
schools he graduated with distinction
from the University of Mississippi. He
was then scarcely IS years of age, and
had even before this begun preparation
for entrance into the Christian ministry,
which high office he had long adorned
with an almost unexampled devotion of
service and eloquence of message. Even
at this early age he gave evidence OF
remarkable gifts as an orator. One OF
his professors at the University of Mis-
sissippi was the late Associate Justice
Lamar of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. When young Galloway was
leaving his alma mater the great jurist
said:
"Charley, and others are glad to
learn that you are to enter the minis
try; some of us would like to go to con-
gress from this district"
The transcendent powers of the bishop,
as afterwards displayed before great au-
diences in both the Old and the New
World, showed that his early preceptor
had not undcrestimated the possibilities
of his career. As public leader he
would have gone to the highest civic sta

| burg, Miss, whose devotion to him
through life has been song of full
notes, and the husband has been no
less a lover than a great preacher and
teacher of men. Three daughters and
two sons blessed their welded life, of
whom all survive, except the eldest son,
who contracted in childhood an illness
from which he suffered until young
manhood. The youngest son is DIR. L.
H. Galloway, now city physician OF
Jackson, Miss.
AS member of the Mississippi con-
ference Bishop Galloway served num-
Der of appointments, including Port Glib
son, Yazoo City, Jackson and Vicksburg.
While pastor at the last named place
he was exposed, in 1878, to the great ep-
demc of yellow fever, which in that year
ravaged the entire Mississippi valley. He
was himself stricken, after weeks of WIS.,
itation among the sick and dying, but he
rallied miraculously to live thirty Won
derful and active years.
In 1882 he was elected editor of the
New Orleans Christian Advocate, then
paper of wide and influential circula-
ton. For four years he sat on the tri-
pod, and during these years his fame ex-
tended to every part of the church. When
the general conference of 1886 came on
he was elected bishop by a remarkable
vote, being but 81 years of age, the
youngest man ever elected to that Of
flee in the Southern church.
Was Foreign Minister.
Bishop Galloway fairly won the dis
tinction, worn by Dr. Coke, the bishop
of the church, that of being styled "The
Foreign Minister of Methodism." He
was sent more frequently abroad than
! any other bishop of the church, and
served in all these capacities with such
effectiveness and ability as to make him
not only the best known, but also the
most influential personality in Universal
Methodism. In Canada, in England, in
Ireland, in the Orient repeatedly, and in
South America he visited officially as
the bishop and head of the church, and
everywhere left the impression of his
great personality and the memory of his
Incompatible power as preacher and
public teacher.
| He opened the great ecumenical con-
ference in the City Road Chapel, in Lon
don, in 1901, with sermon, the power
and eloquence of which was achoed to all
lands where Methodism had adherents.
1t is still a pulpit classic among the peo-
pie called Methodists.
The great civic and reform move
ments of his state and the country at
large felt the impulse of his adhesion
and advocacy. He was president of the
Mississippi Prohibition Association, and
the effective system of prohibition laws
now in operation in Mississippi is large
| ly the result of his wise advice.
A Distinguished Author.
As an author Bishop Galloway achiev.
ed no little distinction, though it was
as the preacher and orator that he ex-
celled. As a writer on varied and time
ly subjects, he commanded wide read.

The visitor began unfolding his

the roll he took a four-line stanza
which he handed to the editor.
"What'll you give?" he inquired in
true trader fashion.

over critically, I'll go you a quarter

with a sad smile of sacrifice Now

joined, and asked Inn to call again.
