tom of waiting until man is dead

brought to mind No matter how
eagerly we contribute 10 this cause,
We can never fully cancel the debt
we owed the reverend gentleman for
not recognizing his merits sooner, or
while he was alive and pursuing his
chosen work, not only difficulties, but
with the scofiing of many who could
only frown at his honest and sincere
labors
DR.. Bateman carried on his lowly
but righteous work. struggling some
times to make both ends meet in car
rying out his chosen methods of car
ing for the homeless and needy,
Many there were who were not in
sympathy, and did not believe in his
sincerity. Many were the thrusts
the good man had to bear. but under
it all he never faltered.
Now that he is removed from the
life which was so charitably devoted
to others, the voice of the scoffer Is
stilled. Now there is nothing but
praise for this great and good man.
But was it necessary for death to
claim him before his good work be-
came SO we'll known 1t is too late
to discuss the question for this par
ticular man, but others are now liv-
ing and striving. Must they, too,
be forgotten and ignored, until at
last their good deeds can be told
when death has claimed them. Surely
