highest Offices at their disposal, and
for number of years he was presi-
dent of the State Educational Associa-
ton of North Dakota
In his work as superintendent it is
said that he knew nearly every pupil
by name and took personal interest
in each one of them. He was true
friends to every boy and girl that ever
attended the public school. His inter-
est in the boys and girls is aptly ex.
pressed in his dying message: "Tell
the boys and girls to so live that they
will be credit to their community"
He had the right conception of life
when he considered it to be sacrifice
and thus he spared no effort to do his
best for the young lives in his charge.
He was also princely Christian.
His home was not only good home in
the common. sense of the word. His
home was Christian home. His cit
izenship was Christian citizenship
and caused him to stand for the very
highest principles of citizenship as
taught by Jesus Christ. He was q
Christian educator and aimed not only
to develop the mind but also the mora!
and spiritual qualities of the boys and
girls. This one thing in itself adds
an infinite weight to all the other good
things that have been said of him in
former connections. Other things be-
ing equal, the life of Christian edu
Gator reaches much deeper into the
lives Of the pupils that one who disre--
CARDS the Christian religion and
Christian principles. Being reared by
pious parents he was led into expert
mental religion during the time of his

he cultivated the prayer-life and was
always at peace with God, showing and
expressing faith in him and a trust
that was beautiful till the very end
Of his life.
While we are paying tribute to our
departed brother, we would not forget
her whose help and kindly ministry
have greatly helped to make him what
he was; who is feeling the burden of
this loss more keenly than anyone
else in this world; who has within the
last few weeks seen all of her cherish
ed LIES plans shattered to pieces, but |
who has borne up bravely under the |
heavy ordeal through which she has
had to pass: Our bereaved Sister
Wolfe; we can not bear your sorrow
for you, but we are trying by our lit
tie acts Of kindness and sympathy to
make your heavy burden little light
er, and to cast some rays of sunshine
into the darkness that has surrounded |
your life at this time. We know you
have experienced the sustaining hand
of God in these dark hours and we
know that He will never leave nor for
sake you in the future. Do you ask
me to explain why God has sent this
heavy burden upon you? In answer :
/ must say that cannot tell it. do |
not know. This is one of the mysteries |
that are hid from our eyes during the
present time. However | do know that |
the God who has directed the destiny |
of nations during the passing centu- |
ries and who has the life of every one |
of His children in His hand, has never |
made a mistake in calling one Of our
loved ones unto himself and he never |
will make mistake. Sometime when |
the veil is lifted we shall fully under
stand.
Farewell now, my brother,
Your race has been run;
Your battles are fought
And victory won.
But your life is not ended,
Though your soul took it's flight,
And in triumph assembled
To the regions Of light.
Farewell, now, my brother, Farewell!
