is in receipt of hundreds of messages
of sympathy from churchmen and lay
men in America. He made hosts of
warm friends on his visits to this coun-

nephritis, and the principal alarm over
his condition is due to the weakness
of his heart. He has not been in the
best health for more than year, but
until recently his illness was not re-
garded as serious. He was born in
