AFTERWARDS, 



[Chap. VIII. 



wich (the present and the late minister of the chapel), took 

 part ; and an address (since printed), in full accordance with 

 the inscription, was delivered to this gathering of Philip's 

 friends by his old fellow-student, Mr. W. H. Herford, B.A., 

 some of whose reminiscences (see p. 2T, etc.) have been 

 already recorded. 



Many with whom Philip worked have since entered with 

 him on a scene of higher service. Among them is W. L. Gar- 

 rison, who died on the second anniversary of Philip's death, 

 May 24, 1879. Some of the verses written by the American 

 poet, John G. Whittier, for the funeral of the Anti-slavery 

 leader, so embody my own feelings for my brother, that they 

 seem the fitting conclusion of these Memoirs : — 



" Confirm the lesson taught of old, 



Life saved for self is lost, while they 

 Who lose it in His service hold 

 The lease of God's eternal day. 



" From lips that Sinai's trumpet blew 

 We heard a tender undersong ; 

 Thy very wrath from pity grew, 



From love of man thy hate of wrong. 



" Now past and present are as one ; 

 Thy life below is life above ; 

 Thy mortal years have but begun 

 The immortality of love. 



* ' Not for a soul like thine the calm 

 Of selfish ease and joys of sense ; 

 But duty, more than crown or palm, 

 Its own exceeding recompense. 



" Go up and on ! thy day well done, 

 Its morning promise well fulfilled, 

 Arise to triumphs yet unwon, 



To holier tasks that God has willed. 



" Go leave behind thee all that mars 

 The work below of man for man ; 

 With the white legions of the stars 

 Do service such as angels can."
