DIED SUDDENLY AT HIS HOME In BETHESDA
July 8, 1918.

Mr.. Editor With regret that mere words
fail in expressing just tribute to a man
so universally beloved by all who knew
him as DR.. John L. Lewis, of Bethesda,
Montgomery county. Nd. Montgomery
county, Washington. D. c.. and in fact the
entire State of Maryland, has sustained a
loss so great and heartfelt. in the passing
on to his reward of John L. Lewis, that
no mortal man can ever fill the place he
occupied in the hearts of their citizens.
His sudden death was shock to great and
small, to rich and poor alike. He died that
others might live. Surely mo greater love
hath man than thisAtha he lay down
his life for his friends and fellow-man."
When war was declared and many physi-
clans were called to the cOlors, great
burden was placed upon him, that of car
ing for the families of hundreds in addi-
tion to his already large practice. Did he
shirk at this supreme moment during the
most terrible winter we have ever expe-
rienced Never, He went at the increased
practice with renewed and redoubled
energy. He was up day and night. minis
tering to the sick and healing the troubled
at heart. He answered calls of help and
assistance from wealthy and poor alike
when some men would have turned deaf
ear to such appeals for lack of rest and
sleep. Under such terrific strain both
mental and physical. no mortal man could
long endure. but John Lewis did not stop.
He went on and on aiding the weak and
sick to health and life, to the detriment Of
his own. until he fell from utter exhaustion.
He died in harness, doing his duty without
flinching. He died for his country, with as
great glory as il he had been shot upon
the battle field giving aid and succor to
those around him.
What wonderful MIN he was What
a great and noble character he had He
was absolutely frank. He was honest to
to the most extreme degree he would not
injure or defraud his fellow-man for any
earthly gain. or suffer the same to be done
by another II in his power to prevent. He
was a man of sublime thought. lofty prin-
ciples. great power and energy both men,
tally and physically, and he was loved by
all with whom he came in contact, and was
practically worshipped in an earthly way
by all those to whom he had ministered.
What reward he will or has received in
the Land Beyond. when he met his Re-
deemer face to face.
We extend to his widow and family our
heartfelt sympathy we realize but cannot
express what the passing on of so great a
spirit means to them; but after the suf-
ferings and existence which all must 60
through with on this earth. we ask them.
as we know they will, to bear up bravely,
and rejoice in the knowledge that John
L. Lewis has emerged from his crown Of
thorns of mortality with his cross of gold
OF immortality and that from this time
forth for evermore he rests with his Crea-
tor in the Paradise Of Heaven.
