For twenty-six veans he went In and out before you with a regularity and a punctuality that was faultless. Oh, you men and women upon whom so much depends, you who have It In your power to progress or retard a great work here, as you remember remem-ber the life and service of our friend and co-worker, may you resolve, all of you, from this day, to bring faithfulness, fidelity fidel-ity and consecration . to the work which cries for vour help and your example."

Go thou and do 4ikewise." " |
