AN APPRECIATION OF
ROBERT |. KERFOOT
REV. eRizzARD TELLS OF LIFE
OF A TRUE FRIEND, A GOOD
HUSBAND AND FATHER.

AS a friend and neighbor of Robert
L. Kerfoot, who died a week ago, the
undersigned Graves this word of per-
sonal testimony concerning the de-
ceased.
The telegram announcing his death
and calling me to his funeral failed
to locate me in my vacation Journey
iIgs The privilege of looking in the
face of my dead friend and voicing
my feeble tribute Of appreciation at
the obsequies were thus denied me.
Throughout my sojourn of three
and a half years as a pastor in Mar
tinsburg. 7 have enjoyed varied con
slant and more or less intimate as
sociation with the deceased.
While Mr. Kerfoot did Lot hold
membership wiz our church or with
any other, he was a punctual and en-
thusiastfc member of the Bible class,
of which I am teacher He was also
a regular attendant at the services
of our church. He loved the Word
of God and fed upon it both in public
and private. Acquaintance with him
revealed to me the real man. I
never detected aught counterfeit or
sham about the man. His stalwart
impressive FORM suggestive of manly
strength, was backed up by sterling
qualities that ornamented the cita.
del of his life. With him conscience
was clear-cut and tense in the exer-
else of its function. He was con
scientious to degree. Faults, like
every son of Adam, he had; but his
manhood's worth differentiated him
and far exceeded those faults. /
never heard him breathe harmful or
reproachful word against his fellow
man. | never knew his life to be
sullied by profane or vulgar sugges-
ton. His heart as the saying goes,
was in the right place.
AS neighbor, Robert l.. Kerfoot
ranked we'll His liberality and
charity were large, consistent with
his possessions. As friend he was
dependable; as citizen he was tried
and proven i'll positions of trust and
responsibility; as husband and
father and son and brother, heart
strings could Irvine, about him and
find support
Friend, adieu. May bright vistas
break on your vision in the land be-
yond the grave!
There are brighter skies than these
i know,
Lands where no shadows lie:
Fields wherein mortal flowers bloom,
And founts that are never dry"
