TO do niS duty. ana for this reason
men learned to trust him. They knew
that he never asked, rs this easy p.
or Does it pay?" but rs it right?'
and SO they knew they were safe ii
his hands.
Next to his faithfulness we would
put his broad-mindedness. Neither |
from religious nor political nor so
cial standpoint was he a sectarian.
He loved all men. He sympathized
with every mans view and tried to
appreciate his neighbor's convictions.
He had the deepest sympathy for
mems failings, and strove to find the
good in every one. He had peculiar
gift for reaching the unfortunate and
the desperate. On the streets of OF
tawa his gentle, yet strong, presence
was at times more efficacious than the
| polieeman's baton. How much good
he accomplished in his life through
| his big-heartedness, how many erring
ones his sympathy reached, how many
prodigals he turned homeward will
never be read out, in congregational
Injecting nor entered on church rec
ord; but it will be written in the book
of the recording angel and will be
read out at that last day, when hui
manity will be congregated before the
bar of God.
The third element we would men,
tion was our brothers genial disposi-
ton. He had ever a hearty welcome
a word of good cheer, good story to
tell. His was the sunny nature
Clouds and gloom, moroseness and
dependency were foreign to him. He
had what Scotchmen are sometimes
accused of not having, a saving sense
of humor He enjoyed and could tel
joke as we'll as any. His geniality
of manner won him a welcome by
every f1reside, gave him place II
every home, and had much to do will
the hold he had on the affections O.
, his people.
His ideal of minister's sphere wa
comprehensive His to diligentl.
preach the Word, to exhort, to warn
e to admonish; his to visit and comfor
the sick, to pray with the dying, t.
comfort the sorrowing.
S. While he had the deepest concerl
s for the welfare of mems souls, he wa
also much interested in the well-bein
a of the body. This hospital is stand
k ing and perpetual monument to tn
It practical turn that interest took. TIL
existence of this institution of hea
IS ing and hope is due to his pertinacit
o and unfiagging zeal. He was th
@ originator of this scheme. He worke
d for it, prayed for it, enlisted the syn
20 pathies of others in it's success. Il
Is believed that the body is the temp
re he kept in health and strength for Il
le glory of God.
wi AS l listened this afternoon to yol
Is secretary's report and learned of Il
sh munificent gift of one of your citizen
ut I thought how Brother FAIRIES mu

Id he was so wrapt up continue in SUI

n. May his spirit breathe benedicti'
a on all who help this noble work. M

of knew him in the flesh have join
him in eternity, but when their ch
ell dren and grandchildren shall ha
