Leader.)
Rev. D. C. ash at his home
in Shenand Oaa carue as a
shock to the pes II this commu
nifty when the cS.egram was read
from the pulpit at tn Presebyter-
known or suspected the news before
first the congregation was 10th to be-
lieve it, 1t may be assumed that
friends eagerly awaited further con.
fi1mation and details which arrived
later. 1t appears that DR.. Mackin-
tosh was afflicted with acute appen-
dicitis; that he had the disease
without giving it much attention un-
til it developed it's final phase. He
was engaged heart and soul in the
union evangelical meetings in his
city, was working hard for the sue
cess of the movement, and so did
not realize his condition, or thought
of it as of immaterial consequence.
Residents of this community can
thoroughly realize how natural it
would be for him to forget himself
for the great work that engrossed
his heart and mind. The body of
DR.. Macintosh reached Hopkin-
ton Wednesday morning accompanied
by the members of the family. Fun
eral services were held from the
Presbyterian church the same after
noon at 2:30. The edifice was filled
by sorrowing friends. Rev. w. H.
Ensign, D. D., the pastor, delivered
an impressive and very touching ad-
dress, during which he referred to
many Incidents in the Life of the be-
loved pastor so we'll known to this
community. Many tributes were paid
by others present. Rev. Frank C..
Mexican, D. D., of Des Moines, told
of his long acquaintance and fellow
ship with DIR. Macintosh, and re-
ferred to his humble, conscientious
and unselfish Life; and that his love
has gone out all over the world in
channels Of influence that will never
be known; and all who knew him
drew inspiration from his life, and
counsel and deep humility. Rev. S:
Turner Foster, d. D., of Cedar Rap
ids, referred to DR.. Macknitosh's
sincerity, well balanced mind and
unselfishness, traits which he con-
stantly evidenced in all his per
sonal relations. Rev. Foster also
read brief and touching tributes from
Mrs. Mary r.. Doohttle and Mrs. r.
A. Wallace, w. H. Jordan, D. D.,
of Cedar Rapids told of his acquaint,-
ance and labors with DR.. Macintosh.
He said, sincerity, humility and
great tact and good judgment, add
ed to intense devotion and zeal, made
him one Of the most faithful preach
ers and teachers Of the word. He
ever felt that his great work was
