REV. DAN sAwYERs AFFLICTED

Uncle Dan Sawyers, pioneer mar of
God, ex-slave, eX-soldier, race advo-
cate, is seriously afflicted at his home
in Chillicothe. A representative of the
Sun called upon Father Sawyer a few
days ago and found him very feeble,
though still fired with his old time
religious and patriotic zeal. He talks
much of his race, its moral, civic and
industrial welfare, and, though far
past eighty years of age, and having
spent over fifty years in unselfish pub
lie servicee, lamented the fact that he
could do n o more for his people.
Since that time he has rapidly fail
ed, his mental faculties becoming more
and more obscure, and we havee just
learned that he has been removed to
a sanitarium. Our representative was
deeply impressed by the perfectly ra-
tional words of the veteran preacher
a few days ago when among other
things he spoke of several of his min.
isterial friends who had neither called
upon him nor answered his letters.
1t is now quite improbable that he
will recover. Thousands of converts,
friends and others who have profited
through his labor and generosity will
mourn his present condition. He has
lived out h is four-score years, he has
fought a good fight. his name is with,
out blemish and the God Whom he
has faithfully served will do all the
rest.
