THE UNDYING MESSENGER


At last his golden sun has set,
And earth's brief stay is DER:
He is dwelling now in Celestial Lands
Where he lived in faith before.
He stood at the gate Of Future Years
And viewed the Holy Land.
He heard the voice Of Jesus
And gave His message to man.
His life was like q cloud by day
And pillar Of fire by night
He held the lamp Of Truth so high
Many souls have seen the light.
Tho many years may come and 60
With the flowing Of life's river,
His message of love and hope viii live
In the lives Of men forever.

The home-going of Mrs. Rogers
was an event Of moving significance
to a very wide circle. both on account
of her personal character and charm,
and because Of her position as almost
the last survivor Of the heroic group
Of Berea's Founders.
She was born at Embreeville, on
the battlefield of the Brandywine,
near Philadelphia, In February, 1899,
attended Oberlin College with an
older brother and sister. where she
met and married Rev. J. A. r. Rogers,
engaging with him in religious work
from the very first (their wedding
journey was in conduct Of company
Of orphans from Philadelphia to the
West!) settling with him in the beau.
tiful village Of Rosemont, ILL.,, and
leaving this for the work Of Berea.
She died at the home Of her SON.
in-law. Principal Noble Hill, at Wood
stock, Ill.
There were present her three sons,
Raphael, the inventor, Trustee of Be-
rea College; Joseph. the journalist, Of
Philadelphia; Allen, also a journalist,
Of Cincinnati; and her daughters
daughter, Mrs. Carol Hill Taylor,
somewhat recently a student in Be-
rea. Mrs. Taylor's mother, Grace
Rogers Hill, died in 1914. and two
other Rogers, sons in young manhood.
one of them a teacher in Berea, were
drowned in Wisconsin in 1882. Also
Mr.. Edwin Fee, Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Embree, of Richmond, and Miss Esch-
bach, the nurse and companion of her
later years.
The funeral was conducted by
President Hutchins, who read appro-
pirate scriptures, and Prof. Rainc
led in prayer.
Professor L. v. Dodge gave strlk-
ing personal "reminiscences Of his ac-
quaintance with Mrs. Rogers, which
began among the somewhat primitive
surroundings Of 1873.

precarious health, had written out his

great sympathy and interest seemed

formed.
admired his readiness to COM
mend. In this he was particularly
thoughtful, and far surpassed most
people I have ever known. His won.
derful capacity for being friendly is
the quality which think Of often
est. I'never met him at any time or
at any place when he was too busy
to stop or turn and walk closer for a
handshake and a friendly greeting.
And 1t was never the matter-of- fact
handshake Of q conventional pastor
an act prompted by duty-but II was
cordial handclasp Of an interested
FRIEND who was willing to let all other
things 60 until that matter was gra-
ciorsly disposed Of.
His sermons were always q marvel
10 me. They were trimming full of
deep thought, quaint humor, majes-
tic emotion, human interest; they
sparkled with brilliant illustrations
from history. philosophy, literature,
from many branches Of science. In
fact, his illustrations were drawn
from almost the whole range Of hu.
man knowledge. There seemed to be
no treasure house either ancient OF
modern whose door he had not open
ed TO select few rare jewels for the
! purpose Of illustrating q great truth
TO his hearers.
And another thing which put him
in a class different from most men
was the devotion in which he wal
held by the young people. I have
had the reaction Of the students Of
all departments, and the esteem In
which he was held was rare and
1 beautiful.
These things make me think that
shall probably never know another
man whose life 10 more supremely
noble and complete than his life was
His passing on reminded me Of thu
sublimsly painted sky that accom-.
psnies the sunset Of q perfect day.
