As he approached the realities of that world for which he had lived, he seemed to enter into them as much as man ever can until he has passed within its portals. His spirit gave utterance to expressions which indicated how bright was the source from which had sprung the power and preciousness of his life.
Those who mourn his loss have consolation, not only in the remembrance of those sterling virtues which gave him professional dignity and power, but in that great, tender and noble nature which made those virtues subservient to the familiar every-day enjoyments in a Christian life. They will love to keep in memory his play equally with his work; his genial, frank and sometimes sportive intercourse not less than his graver counsels which instructed them.
The whole example and image which ever lives in their hearts, of sanctified intellect, sentiment and affection, constituting his well adjusted and honorable manhood, will be their best earthly incentive to imitate his virtues and partake of his reward.
Mrs. Annie M. Haley.
