Mr. Boonsr announced that Dr. W.

worterofDr. Grier—the latter made
the address to lira people erbee Dr.
I’reeelywea settled bere ai pastor—
•onId make tba special address la be
half of thle ooogregatloo. lie thought
that If Dr. Grier bad bad the eholoa be
oertaloly would have ehoeen lits friend
Dr. Preasty for tbla wort.
Dr. Presale arose, visibly moved by
the oeoaaioo. He said : “On reaching
Abbovtlla Court House from Long
Cans at 10 o’clock this morning the
first man I met laid, *Dr. Grier la
dead.’ •• I was startled. I want lo
say lo Una oocnoetton that every man
I mat lo Abbeville hastened to exprem
this profound sorrow and sympathy.
A raw days ago I left tbla place. Dr.
Grier mooed in the vigor of health.
Today I find my brother la dead—gone.
A noble form. I am asked lo say
something. Two difficulties confront
me. (a) I have bad no time for
thought (b) I dare not trust ay feel
ings. Why, for almost 90 years we
have been intimately acquainted. For
30 years we have lived oo adjoining
lota. My eaetom was to go lo btm for
advloa aud lo aooept bis sound, mature
judgement ordinarily.
For II) yeare I wse hie pastor. Her
er dll a pastor bare eueb an ludulgaot
