EZRA CORNELL-1864-1874 329 



His religion seemed to take shape in a deeply reverent 

 feeling toward his Creator, and in a constant desire to 

 improve the condition of his fellow-creatures. He was 

 never surprised or troubled by anything which any other 

 human being believed or did not believe; of intolerance 

 he was utterly incapable. He sought no reputation as a 

 philanthropist, cared little for approval, and nothing for 

 applause; but I can say of him, without reserve, that, 

 during all the years I knew him, &quot;he went about doing 

 good.&quot;
