' At last he' knew tlj full mean ing of these line* from a little poem be loved la life and hod so often repeated: r “ * Dr. Boyce had been enjoying bis usual health. Monday he dined at Dr. J. C. Galloway's sod attended the minister’s conference there that afternoon. Tuesday he appeared as well as □anal, but In the afternoon while giving aotne directions to Thomas Kirkland, a colored man employed about tbe boose, be became unsteady, stumbled, and would have fallen but for tbe hired man’s prompt assistance. I« a few moments Dr. Boyce quite recovered and said to tht servant, "I shall not be with yon much longer, Thomas.” Toes day night be gave these parting directions: 'Thomas, gathei yow tools together to-night, anc in tbe morning, early, clear of my cemetery lot. I do not knou how long I shall be with yon, and I want to have everythin* ready. Clear it off early Thomas, before yon come in fbi other duties." The faithful servant did as hi was bidden, and when be canx in at 9 o'clock and asked* to set Dr. Boyce, be, leaned that hi was dead—had passed away ever while the servant was clearing off tbe cemetery lot. About 5 o’clock Wednesday morning Dr. Boyce u attack ei something tike a purely ris of the brain, to which he had been subject. Mm. Boyce war aroused and by her ministration! apparently brought him through the attack. He spoke a feu words aad was soon resting qniet ly. He continued thus to rest un til abont six o’clock, when a long draws breath attracted Mrs. Boyce’s attention. She went tc the bad aad die was still—the long drawn sigh was the tired body’s farewell to the spirit. OFFICIAL VOTE OF GASTON COUNTY, TUESDAY. NOVEMRFP ,q»q the Associate Reformed church yesterday morning at 10 o’clock. The active pall-bearers were the following: Jno. F. Love, l' £ J4?&v*r' T- W Wilson, J. T. McDfll, A. M. Whitesides, Geo. W. Hanna. Dr. O. G. Falla. There were twelve honorary pall-bearers, as follows: B. G Bradley, A. M. Smyre. S. M. Morris, J. Q. Holland, R. C. G. Love, S. E. Stewart, Edward Whitesides, Thomas Wilson, Senior, Captain F. DHling. Jno. A- Dogriasa, Dr. W. H. Hoff man, W. Meek Adams. The church was thronged and many gathered about the win dows outside. Dr. Galloway an nounced after the singing of two psalms,'and the scripture lesson read by Rev. J. S. Moffat, that there would be no funeral ser mon, but instead; the brethren of him who eras mourned by ao great a gathering would be per mitted one after the other to sneak as their hearts should give them utterance . R* G- Mlikr, from Sardis, the birth-place of Dr. Boyce, Dr. G. R- White, Rev. W. M. Hun ter and many others paid brief and loving tributes to the mem ory of the dead. Rev. J. S. Moffat quoted a sen timent uttered by " Father Boyce” at the Presbytery in Kings Mountain last spring: "Out chief business in life,” said be, "ia to learn how to live.” • Dr. F. Y. Prea»ly said: "He was in truth a son of consola tion.” Rev. C. B. Betts, of Lancas ter, S. C., with mu£h feeling it feri ed to himself as being now the oldest minister in the Synod: the departure of bis beloved . brother caused him to feel sor rowful end lonely. Rev. J. M. Garrison had found in Dr. Boyce one who was wonderfully near to God in his inner life. While Dr. Ross could tear up the Scriptures by analysis and lay them clear be fore the eye. Dr. Boyce seemed to make them clear by turning on a flood of light. It was equal to a sermon of exposition to : “*** .the scriptures. Ana how be could pray 1 Rev. A. T. Lindsay, pastor of Pisgah, spoke often with this departed Prince in Israel. He often said, "lam just waiting.” Rev. J. W. Carson said: I can truly say that Dr. Boyce was my spiritual father. He baptized me; he received me in to the church, and he waa my beloved spiritual counsellor. A. G. Kirkpatrick loved the companionship of Dr. Boyce and sought it. I never talked with him without getting some thing from it. ..Df- R. P. McClintock, of Newberry, S. C., led in a fervent prayer. The 27th Paalm, a favorite with the deceased, was sunn, and then followed the last look at the calm kind face in the casket. Dr. Boyce greatly loved his brethren in the ministry and arts greatly loved by them in return. Though Rev. C. B. Betta was the oldest minister of the Synod present at the funeral, the oldest bow in £e Synod is key. I. G. McLaughlin, of Query’s who is perhaps a year older than Dr. Boyce. He and Dr. Boyce had Biade a loving covenant years ago that the oo4 who should ootHve the other would conduct the funeral of his de l«ted brother. Though Mr. McLaughlin eras notified, he perhaps failed to get the sad message In time or waa unable to coose. In the cemetery the body was {•* to resTaS orer the grave h*ak* ?t,TP9^ *nd *we«t flowers were laid by loving hands. After the benediction byDr! ■arrowlimy away.

About this time the Cleveland branch of Pisgah built Nebo church, which so gTcatly widened hit field that be asked that his work be reduced. Nebo was dropped from his pastorate. Afterwards Nebo divided into Bethel and Kings Mountain pas torates. The "Boyce farm'' a few miles south of Gastonia, where Dr, Boyce lived so many years, is well known. It Was sold a few years •go, and is now owned by Messrs. Alex Crawford and J. P. Parsley.
