was a uniform growth as seen in these various promotions.
 Col Gale was the finest community man I ever knew. By that I mean that he could fit in to every feature1 of community life the easiest and most willingly of any man I ever knew. Anybody felt at liberty to ask
 him to do anything at any time and he uniformly did it. It would be hard to think of any man in our midst who could do so many things so well as he. He never declined the most nenial service that would add to an others pleasure and profit and that was why he enjoyed popularity in all this region that was quite unpre- cedented TIT :; IF is
 To my mind there was something | beautiful in his passing. Death was l robbed of all its terrors when he gently fell asleep. After he had fought the good fight and had fin- | natural that God should claim His own
 and that he has searned, as far as a poor mortal can, the fellowship of his
 Lord at "the end of a perfect day. I 1 only wish that my poor lips could formulate in these remarks just what
 my heart feels, but I know that the sentiment of all your hearts is voiced when say: Good night friend, we'll meet again in the coming dawn!"
