and impressed all who met him as being
unusually interesting and social. lie

1, 1873, he was called to the Roxborough
Baptist church of Philadelphia and
continued pastor until 1901 when lie
resigned on account of impaired healtn.
He was then elected Pastor Emeritus
and so continued during the remainder

ticularly dear to his heart. For his in
tellectual ability and genius as a theolo-

press our sense of bereavement and that
