Tho services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Hastings,

ton of the Weston Square Reformed Church, and tho 
Rev. Dr. Prentiss of the Church of the Covenant. After 
the singing of tho nymii, “How blest the Righteous 
when he Dies,” prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. 
Hutton. 
An address was then delivered by Dr. Hastings. Ho 
spoke of the pleasant intercourse he had ever held with 
the deceased throughout an acquaintance of more than 
30 years. Prof. Torroy, he said, was one who had sought 
the truth for itself alone, totally uninfluonood by any 
desire of gain. Having been his pastor for ten years, 
the speaker was prepared to. testify that he had never 
lost his Arm grasp on Jesus, but had over been a devout 
and sincere follov/er of Christ, feeling his own uUer 
weakness, and depending on Him for strength. Emi- 
nently a Christian scholar, he believed the God of the 
Bible and the God of nature to be one and the same 
Being. Nothing In the- Bciontiflo inveetigatlons of' the 
world gave him more sorrow than the re- 
searches which had hcen- made with tho idea 
trntlie. Hia great heart, 
had in it much of womanly sensiWUty and tendornesa. 
He was ever ready to lead hiaaid and sympathy to any 
good cause. In conolnsioir, Said Dr. Hastings, the Pro- 
frasor hasleft us noble foundations of Christian soholai- 
ehlpuponwhieUall, especially they onth. shonid strive 
to biiUd. We should strive to follow the noble example 
set before ue in nis career, so long and ao nnusually suo- 
cesalnl. A noble foundation for acientiflo knowledge 
baa bo^ loft to tho world by thia moat abJo of aciontiflo 
men. Rut beat of all ho hua loft for all future genera" 
tiona* a character nuimpeaohable for Integrity and hon> 
oaty,. with a true ChriethRi example which it well be- 
hooved ua to follow. To have obtained such a character 
IS Uie graodeatf higheat. noblest achievement of man. 
Dr. Hastings waa followed by I>ra. Ifutton and Pren- 
tiaa, who referred to the long and Bueoeaaful career of 
if and bore additional toariraony in regard to 
^ and exalled character. The remains 
will be talieu to Woodlawn Cemetery this morning for
