As long as these young men and young women whom he taught will continue to testify for Christ his influence will live. He united with the Universalist church when a young man and has always lived close to its teachings.

He loved his faith and was a glad attendant onthe services for worship and zealous in spreading the good tidings to the whole world.

The generous part he took in ministering to the sick and unfortunate and his keen and ready sympathy to the afflicted endeared him to everyone.
