"of these all, the greatest was love.
He loved everybody and every little

that 1t could not possibly be accepted.

"He stood for faith, hope and love.
1t was these qualities that were re-
sponsible for his success as teacher.
His great task was the Inspirer Of

He wrote his knowledge upon the
fleshy tablets of our hearts.

he stimulated us to thought and drew

us better how to live Nothing better

Richmond than to be baptized as We
