We regret to record the death of the

Mount Olivet Church. The Rev. Mr.
Hart passed away early on Tuesday
morning, August 18th, during the ter
lrible hurricane which swept the Texa:
coast from the Gulf of Mexico. He
was on his way to Galveston to off
ciate at the burial service of a friend
but was stopped by the storm at Vir
ginia Point, where the hotel in which
he took refuge collapsed and he wa.
Thrown with many others into tn,
stormy waters of the bay. He died il
the attempt to perform his duty as .
priest of the church. The body wa.
not recovered. A memorial servic,
was held at Wharton, Texas, one o
his charges. His name was remem
bered at Mount Olivet on last Sun
day morning at the holy commune,
and the prayers of the cengregatio,
offered for him. His favorite poem
CTennyson's Crossing the Barr 1
strangely appropriate to the circum
stances of his. departure from thi
life:
Twilight and evening bell, and afte
| that the dark
And may there be no sadness of fare
| we'll when 1 embark;
For though, from out our bourne O
| time and place, the flood may bea
me far,
hope to see my Pilot face to face
when have crossed the bari"
