Arthur Lister. 



XI 



July 19, 1908, in his 79th year. He is buried in the burial ground of the 

 Wanstead Meeting House, near Leytonstone, close to the oak tree on which 

 he so often looked out as he sat in Meeting. 



The closing years of his life were clouded for himself, and those who 

 were near him, by his failing health and powers. It is to their recollections 

 (if a son may be permitted so to write of his father) of the strong, wise, and 

 loving man that he was in his prime, still attended by clear glimpses of the 

 " Vision Splendid " and with much of the character, to use another Words- 

 wortliian phrase, of " Nature's priest," that his family and his friends look 

 back for the full evidences of the manner of man he was.
