write and warn the lost of earth as he did. He 

 was my own true friend and brother. 



He was not an extremist, nor was he a hobbyist. 

 as some might suppose in reading his book. Any 

 subject be took np he treated with the same 

 strong arguments and logical conclusions as the 

 subject before us. He would preach about 

 heaven and portray its glories and grandeur, un- 

 til you would almost imagine yourself among the 

 angelic host and with the redeemed who have 

 washed their robes and made them white in the 

 blood of the Lamb. He would take the negative 

 side of a question or subject and produce one of 

 the strongest and most convincing arguments. 

 For illustration, he would take the text. "We 

 know that this man is a sinner " and preach the 

 strongest and most powerful holiness sermons. 



We had the privilege of attending his camp- 

 meeting, held at Greenville, Pa., the first and 

 last camp-meeting of which he ever had the en- 

 tire management. There under much physical 

 suffering and many discouraging things to meet, 

 he proved himself to be a general, a leader, a 

 commander, who could stand in the van and in 

 every meeting lead a band of pilgrims to God and 

 victory. 



The meeting was pronounced a grand success 

 by the oldest and most experienced who were in 

 attendance.
