'His bravery and his gentleness.'
'His quiet consistent Christian life at home, and his self-sacrifice and heroism abroad.'
'His sweet playing, so like his spirit.'
'Every day there is some reminder of him—even the toys on the nursery floor which he had given.'
'To us who knew James and his never-tiring work for the Highest, it may perhaps seem that he would rejoice in giving even his life, if it had to be. James had a greater power for sacrifice than anyone else I know.'
'Those of us who are so proud and glad to have known him, and to have come into touch with his passion for whatsoever things are lovely, will feel a new pulse now of the tide of calm and beauty he inspired; and in the memory and fellowship of his brave and quiet spirit we dedicate ourselves again to the service of life.'
