He was distinguished for the mental graces with which he was adorned, the faithfulness with which his pastoral duties were discharged, for the gentleness of his disposition, the amenity of his manners, and the eminent social qualities which endeared him to the high and low, the rich and poor. He was also a finished scholar. His passionate love of his Maker's works, his high appreciation of the beautiful in art, were sources of unbounded pleasure to him--a pleasure which he often imparted to others with his facile pen. His contributions to the press, as well as his public addresses, evidenced a refined taste and a highly cultivated mind, winning him a high position for one of his years. His health led him to settle in the WestIndies, but in a few weeks he was stricken down by the yellow fever and died. Wykoff, John Henry. R.C. 1871, N.B.S. 1874, lie. CI.
