Amierican Agriculturist, January 13, 1923 
dbne. It reminds us of Paul’s tremen¬ 
dous declaration: “I have fought a good 
fight, I have finished my course, I have 
kept the faith.” So in his valedictory, 
this wayworn man enumei’ates and 
catalogues something of his labors dur¬ 
ing those forty years. He received into 
church membership 1,250, baptized 
1,300, solemnized 800 marriages and of¬ 
ficiated at 1700 funeral services. He 
preached in one year 76 funeral dis¬ 
courses, in one week seven, in one day 
three. No wonder he cried, “What a 
multitude have gone before!” He count¬ 
ed “twenty-five distinct revivals of re¬ 
ligion” which he had conducted, be¬ 
sides numberless occasions when he had 
assisted other ministers. Always, some¬ 
where he was preaching, preaching, 
preaching. The number of miles he trav¬ 
eled—generally in the saddle—some¬ 
times in his buggy wagon, wa^ beyond 
all computation. Only the hard-driven 
old-time country doctor could equal 
him. Surely he had never spared him¬ 
self or counted the cost. Thus he took 
leave of his people after forty years of 
service. Perhaps the man of iron was 
nearer spent than he knew, for only 
a year later he was dead. They were 
were simple country folk, who knew 
nothing of state funerals, but they 
buried him fittingly and like an old- 
time king. 
Ours is a community where old hab¬ 
its and customs lingered long, and until 
a score of years ago when a man or 
woinan died, we immediately tolled the 
passing bell, and plowmen on distant 
hillsides halted their team in the fur¬ 
row and counted the slow strokes as 
they fioated out over the land. We have 
ceased to do this—why, I do not know. 
I am sorry that a beautiful custom 
which linked us with other times has 
been allowed to fall into disuse. When 
Dominie Weiting died they carried him 
some nine miles to sepulchre, and an 
incredible number of mourners followed 
in his train. Then there wias paid him 
an_ honor which I think is absolutely 
unique in the annals of our county. 
The way to burial led past several 
churches, and as each was reached in 
turn, the bell was tolled as the long 
procession passed in recognition of the 
fact that so well-beloved a man was on 
his last going. 
In his parish, in the town of Sharon, 
remote from any church or hamlet and 
on a lonely road, is a cemetery where 
through many years and for many 
miles the farm folk have come to bury 
their dead. It occupies a great rolling 
drumlin that rises out of the Central 
New York Plateau, and woods and hills 
and dales and pleasant farm lands lie 
all about it. The cemetery itself seems 
a little bleak and windswept, perhaps, 
for it lies high, but it is most beautiful 
for prospect. On the horizon are the 
Adirondacks and the Catskills, and the 
tumbled and criss-crossed billows of the 
Hill Country of New York are at your 
feet. On the very highest point they 
buried the Great Preacher in the heart 
of his Kingdom. 
It is a most fitting place for his 
grave, for the scenes of his triumphant 
labors are all around. Our rural land¬ 
scape changes only slowly through long 
years. Doubtless the outlook to-day is 
very much the same as it was in his 
time. There are the fields and woods 
and farmsteads that were mapped in 
his memory, and the winding, leisurely 
country roads that he knew so well. 
Still the slow herds trail across the 
fields. Still the timothy meadows bow 
to the breeze and the young corn’ rustles 
and dances and gleams in the sunshine. 
Still the woodlands glow crimson and 
scarlet and gold in October days ser.ene. 
Still winter covers all the smiling land 
with snow.- Ever the miracle of the 
Tolling seasons repeats itself again and 
again as it did during those forty years 
be gave himself to this community in 
service. 
The trees and the fields and the 
cattle are with us yet, but there are not 
so many people. The church perhaps 
is no longer the unquestioned, dominat¬ 
ing force in our country life which it 
Was in his time. In some respects, at 
least, we have fallen on evil days. If 
he revisits the scenes of his life work I 
know he has some disappointments and 
some sorrows. But he was a great 
man in our midst for many years, and 
We are better and richer because he 
lived and wrought among us, and across 
the years his soul goes marching on.
