Among the things in his character and individ- 

 uality which impressed me were the following: 

 He was a marked example of the power of 

 grace. Young, talented, educated, with abun- 

 dant opportunity to taste the sweets of worldly 

 pleasure, and with all the capacity for the keen 

 enjoyment of the world which such an endow- 

 ment gave him, he was from the first thoroughly 

 saved from it all. In this he gloried. His testi- 

 mony at the Sharon, Pa., camp-meeting, in 1889, 

 as he stood upon the altar and cried, " Look at 

 me ! Look at me ! I am a young man and 

 saved! " was not indicative of self, but of glory- 

 ing that grace had redeemed him out from 

 among the mass of young men who were run- 

 ning madly after the world and sin. 



His disposition was bright, sunny and cheerful. 

 Although far removed from lightness and fool- 

 ishness, he was just as far removed from austerity 

 on the other hand. He lived in the sunlight of 

 heaven, and scattered sunshine wherever he went. 



He was absolutely devoted to God and I is 

 work, pushing forward, especially during the 

 last year of his life, with praise to God in his 

 heart and on his lips when his frail body was 

 trembling with fatigue, and going forward with 

 his public ministrations when he felt that he was 

 only able to preach as he was directly strength- 

 ened from above, in body as well as in spirit.
