MEMORIAL ADOPTED BY THE CLERGY. 



The Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Penn- 

 sylvania, called tDgether by the recent death of the Reverend Doctor 

 Daniel R. Goodwin, desire to place on record the following minute con- 

 cerning their departed brother : 



Dr. Goodwin's long and faithful service here made him, perhaps, the 

 most conspicuous figure among us. His great ability, his ripe scholarship, 

 the wide extent, indeed, and the minute accuracy of his knowledge, his 

 quick perception, his readiness in debate, the power of his reasoning, and 

 his unflinching courage in the maintenance of his own conscientious con- 

 victions were readily recognized by all who knew him. There were, how- 

 ever, other traits of his character which, possibly, more than his vigorous 

 intellect, his rare learning, and his logical power, endeared him to his 

 friends. For, in union with these qualities, there was in him a wonderful 

 degree of gentleness and tenderness. No one had a keener sympathy 

 with those in sorrow ; no one a more wonderful power of adapting him- 

 self to their spiritual needs. His words to the sick and suffering, always 

 happily chosen, were full of grace and consolation. They who were 

 recipients of his ministry of mercy can never forget it. His rare judgment 

 was never better tested than when he came into the seclusion of the sick- 

 room to bring the comforts of religion. His fine mental powers, cultivated 

 by long years of faithful and earnest study, shone at their brightest where 

 the world is too apt least to esteem them. 



They whose privilege it is to have known him in his home-life to have 

 witnessed his affection for his friends, his gentle kindliness to little chil- 

 dren, his fine courtesy, his deep love for those bound to him by tenderest 

 ties, and his genuine humility well know how large an element in his 

 true greatness was found there. As his days drew towards their close 

 (and, thank God, with unabated intellectual power on his part), it may 

 without exaggeration be said of him that his spiritual nature seemed to be 

 ripening more and more for the peaceful rest of the blessed. 



True to his friends, true to his country grandly so in her years of peril 

 valiant for the truth as it presented itself to his mind and his heart, 

 long must his memory be cherished by all who have learned from him to 

 prize what is best and noblest in the pursuits of life.
