tribute to Mr.. Chamherlin by cNScna
tor Rufus Magee of Indiana:
"Corydon O. Chamberlin was born
at Winhall, in the state Of Vermont, on
the 18th day of september, ls4S. He
passed out OF this life in this city on
March >. 1917. 1t is matter of small
importance as TO the date of birth and
= death of an individual. it is, however
a matter of great Importance as to how
the life record has been kept between
those two events. Whether or not tho
bar sinister has fallen upon his cseutch
con- or whether or not it has been kept
without reproach. Happy the man who
passes from life into death if it ca
he said of him that in all the years
of his earthly pilgrimage. he has tough,
the good fight and kept the faith
sans pcur ct sans reprOche-withou
fear and without reproach. Few mcr
have SO lived their individual lives
that when they come Ito lie down tC
pleasant dreams from which there is
no awakening, can be said Of then
that in all things they so lived as t
merit and receive the hearty and ear
nest approval of their fellow man. Fo
upward of 20 years | knew Mr.. Cham

his frieudship--a friendship without al
alloy Of sclfshness or personal advan
tage. 1t was sincere. it was earnest
it was stcadfast. In IL there was II,
shadow of turning, no shade of doubt
free. frank, open as the sun.
And knowing him as / did. l cal
bear that cheerful testimony that in al
the years of his life. the record tina
he wrought was without erasure or blot
He was man OF a rare temperament
Equable, Just, patient, making allow
ances for the frailties of men withou
ccnsuriug their faults He was ueithe
critical nor cynical; he did not condem
where condemnation would have bee
useless, but out of the goodness of hi
