peculiarly fitting him for the arduous
duties of his field, was great heart
Overlooking with love, and entirely
devoted to the service of his master.
Physically strong and rugged, his
theology was of the same useful
character and fiber.
TO me, who knew him for all
these years of arduous work, and
heroic struggle against what then
seemed insurmountable difficulties,
it is not strange that his efforts were
blessed with success, and that of all
those little, struggling congregations
only a few, a very few failed, and to
replace them more than the same
number of new charges were estab-
lished. His people loved him, de-
pended upon him, leaned on his
christian strength, and he never
failed them. Their love continues,
growing up into helpful christian
lives, which shall spread and be per-
petuated, till "the Kingdoms of this
earth become the kingdom of our
Lord"

after this work was finished, and
his strength failing under his great
labors, his form bent by the weight
of years, and the care of the
churches, he felt forced to retire.
leaving the further prosecution OF
the war for good, against sin, to be
waged by younger men.
There was no sounding of trum-
pets, only a simple statement of the
work, its condition, Its needs, and
the statement that age and failing
strength forced him to retire, and
the request by a brother that he be
accorded the usual perquisites of q
retired minister. Thus the chris.
tan warrior laid down his command,
bid his brothers an official farewell
and turned his face towards his
HOME.
1t is customary when such mar
dies to say that his gain is the loss
of the church. 1t is not true, such
life is not cut off by death, it con
tinues on, on, and on through the
cycles of time till time merges into
eternity, and the church militant
becomes the church triumphant.

Union Memorial Services at The
Presbyterian Church.


The Methodist congregation meets
with the Presbyterians in joint ser
vices IN grateful remembrance OF
the labors of Rev. A. H. Parks, de-
ceased, late of Hutchinson, was for
many years pioneer minister, serv-
ing the churches of the great south
west.
Rev. A. H. Parks who had pre-
viously been serving congregation
in Illinois came in 1885, to Syracuse,
Kansas, and continued his minis
terial labors, serving the Presbyte-
rian church at that place.
He was there at the time of, and
during the exodus of the settlers
from the southwest during the late
eighties, and early nineties.
The membership of the churches
become so depleted in those years
that may churches could lot sup
port a minister. To serve these
scattered congregations throughout
the west half of Kansas, the Larned
Presbytery appointed Bro. Parks
pastor at large. In that capacity he
came to Meade in 1898, and for
number of years continued preach
ing to the congregation here. A
man of strong reasoning powers,
with a heart so filled with love for
his master and whose christian char
ity took IN the whole race of man,
his ministry here soon became cath
Ole, in that union services was the
rule Of his preaching. Hence the
joint character of the memorial ser
vices.
The Presbyterian church was
tastefully decorated with flowers,
and crowded with members of the
two older congregations, the Mctho-
dist and Presbyterians, and those of
other denominations, who had known
Bro. Parks during his long ministra-
ton here.
No program was provided, but
the tributes of love and appreciation
came from persons who remembered
with gratitude the cheering words of
hope and faithfully admonitions of
those early years of struggle to "hold
the fort" in which he taught by
word and example.
First Mrs. Ormond Hamilton read
letter from a daughter of Bro.
Parks who related the attachment of
her father for the people of this
place, and some incidents of his life
and last illness.
This was followed by rendition
by choir of one of the hymns which
were known to be favorites of Bro.
Parks. The music had been arrang-
ed especially for this OCCASION, and
solos we're given by Mrs. Day and
Miss Alice Ballard, and later a male
quartette composed of Messrs. Moses
Black, Sam Amstutz, Roland Paul
and John Sweet sang another favor
lite of his.

tice his personal appearance or the
harshness of his voice. He made
no pretense to oratory and his elo-
cution was not faultless, but his ser
mons were always helpful, and gave
you something to think about. No
man is always at his best, but |
never heard him preach a really
poor sermon. He did not deal in
rhetorical fourishes nor depend on
nicely rounded periods for making
the truth effective. Not long since
l asked a friend if he ever heard Mr..
Parks preach? He answered eyes,
| heard him preach on the Prodigal
Son and it was the best sermon |
ever heard on that subject. The
speaker was the son of a man who
stands among the first of the minis
tiers in his own state. His preach
ing was of the kind that stimulated
US to righteous living and growth in
christian character. He was SYM
pathetic toward the erring, and his
charity took in all who were work.
ers for Christ. "Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord for they
rest from their labors and their
works do follow them"
Father Stowe spoke of the sound
christian character and deep reason
ing of the sermons of Bro. Parks
and of the .brotherly kindness in life
and labors as well out of the pulpit
as in it.
Rev. Stamper of the Methodist
church (retired) then paid a fitting
tribute to the memory of brother
minister of sister church.
O. X. Stevens related his first
acquaintance with Bro. Parks, in
1892, when Mr.. Stevens was a young
man just starting in life in Kingman
county. Mr.. Stevens cherished as
one of his dearest memories his
friendship with and the instructive
helpfulness of the sermons of Bro.
Parks.
Mrs. Lula Fuhr in her usual apt,
and we'll chosen sentences spoke of
the combination of dignity and hu-
NOR which was one of the prominent
characteristics of Bro. Parks.
