"Of his religious belief I know but
little and while ] believe that he had
formed well grounded ideas as to the
future he never intruded his ideas
upon others or criticized their relig-
ious beliefs and in claiming to him
self the right to entertain such be-.
liefs as he might form he gladly
yielded to all others their right to
do the same.
"The quiet, peaceful and reposing
manner in which he spent those last
few days and months would suggest
to the average mind the thought that
his household had been put in order,
that he had made full preparation to
meet his Master and that at the end
he was fully prepared for the hour.
But to those of us who knew him
so well this suggestion might be mis-
interpreted, mis-construed and mis-
understood. His entire life was SO
honorable, so upright, SO free of
wrong doing and sin that it can well
be said of him that he was prepared
to meet-his Master at any time. What
more could be said of any man.
