teaching at different times in the col
 lege from which he graduated, he de
 voted the greater part of his active lie
 to pastoral service in. churches in II e Preston Qe65-72l, Westerly GS72-76) anG PlainfeId GS76-62), and later serving other churches in this region as stated supply while making his home here. The maintenance of an effective church life in the smaller, parishes enlisted his peculiar interest, and his name continued on the roll of ore of them, Bozrail. to the day of his death.
 1 By this choice of nearby fields Mr. 1 Wilcox was enabled to remain close to ] his parents. to whom he was a most | devoted son, and incidentally also was | for almost 50 years a member of the same ministerial association. To this ] body he gave repeatedly of his. own l best thought and Clear-cut summaries 1 of a wider reading than most of his l colleagues were able to attempt. The ! younger men found in him. the most i courteous sympathy and a continual inspiration to the scholarly habits and hard thinking in which none out stripped him, while his keen insight quick wit and ready command of his | intellectual resources gave stimulus and distinction to- every discussion in 1 which he had part.
 l Of his ability in the pulpit and fin ! pastoral care the older members of the i churches which ne served have grate- | tUl recOlleCJions. Unlike some stu | dents. he mad uncommon gifts for l friendship, "a heart at leisure from it. l self'' and warm interest in men of ! low degree" Those who had any work | to do and did 1t honestly had his re- 1 spect and sympathy. Those who bore ! bul dens of need were assisted, per | haps without their knowledge, by hi- l singularly unoptTusiEe charity.
 Few men past three score and ten l have preserved in so marked q. degree ! the appearance and the alertness of 1 youth. II was only in the last few | months that the failure of physical
 strength became apparent, but recent ! ly after the death of his son. the de- 1 cline was rapid, and on Thursday he i slipped quietly away from the miuis- l trations. but not from the grateful ! memory. of his friends.
 i MT. Wilcox was married on June i3, | 1865, to Miss Harriet Thomas Parker 1 of AndoVer, Mass. and had two Cnil- 1 dTcn, Elizabeth Kenyon and Arthur BisseH Wilcox.
