fluency as a 'speaker brought out

to yieldher charge.

fered a strpke of paralysis from
which he rallied and continued
his ministry, but ere long felt
impelled to lay aside his labors.
. Six months later, while at
Melrose, Fla., he suffered a
second sferoke froni which Jime by
gentle decline and step by. step
he came to life's brink as stated
above.
He was the surviving member
of the parental household and
, died without posterity. .

bership is with St. Mark's con
gregation at Charlotte and the
