years ago he was elected to an Office
in this church. Declining that, he
never however failed when any test
Of his devotion came. l said to him
when about to present an appeal for
the work of the Presbyterian church
with the soldier, 81 am sorry to have
to do this with all the national APP
peals that must be made THAT is
all right" he said, 1--WE must do our
part in that too"
l would impress just two things in
closing. Q) Far back in the heart
lies the source of all great action and
it takes great cause to draw forth
the greatest powers of the soul
Spirits are not finely touched
But to fine issues.
We saw how noble was the heart of
our brother when the crisis of the ma
ton called for service. A true pa
triot is unselfish, nay, essentially re-
ligious. He does not spell his patriot
ism with pay. 1t is part of his duty
to God as well as to man.
Another and final word. (2) The
sudden emergencies of life If we are
to meet them manfully must be pre-
pared for in advance. The brave man
Is not made on the battlefield. He Is
made in the home and in civil duty
Likewise the rendering of our life to
God. We should not wait for the last
for that, least we be not found ready
when He comes. 1t was never intend
ed what we should be called as upon
fearful summons in the hour of death
to make our peace with God. One can
not extemporize the religious attitude
in that fell moment, nor does one need
minister of religion to make him
ready. Having made Christ our friend
He will be with us wherever and when
ever we fall, for His precious word
holds good in that as in every trying
hour.
81 give unto them eternal life and
they shall never perish neither shall
any man pluck them out of my hand.

low citizens of the state were naming
him for the greatest offices in their
gift. 1t is a private citizen however
who has called forth this gathering
not one who had offices or emoluments
with which to reward mems following.
He had, however, become by force
of circumstances and by innate traits
of character leader of our people in
the crisis of the nation. Beyond the
age Of military service himself he at
once came forward as trusted agent
in the martialling and forwarding Of
the nations resources. BY unwearied
travelling here and there to plan the
work and to address various audi
ences, he brought his own district to
the very forefront, indicating too his
pride and confidence in his native
county. 1t is as If a great leader of
the army had fallen in the onset. He
labored untiringly for the national
cause. He bore on his own heart Its
great anxieties. He laid down his life
as truly for his country as any SOL
der of theq line ever gave himself to
death. This great draft upon his en-.
ergies came on the top of the great
private sorrow which broke upon his
home Just before the national struggle
began. Bear all this in mind If you
would have measure of his achieve
ment and of his suffering too. All!
What a fall was there my country
men. How is the strong staff broken
and the beautiful rod
We may we'll pause here to consider
the causes which operated to produce
such man.
First was undoubtedly his ancestry
We can never gather up or know the
many streams Of power, some of then
from the remote past, which combine
to make sterling character. We de
not need in this instance to go beyont
the memory of many in this room. The
figure of his grandfather, Mr.. Andrew
NJ. January, rises before us, the com
manding figure in the business life o
his day as well as in every great en-
terprise in the town and in the church
It was his lot on which this churcl
was erected, possibly donated by him
and it is because of the taste and fore
