qualities of his character were most

threshold but they frit that one resid

sacred word 'home' means.
Our beloved brother realized that
his Illness was serious, and faced
death rulmly. Hnrlng the last days of
his life the assurances lw gave of his
simple trust in Gml wero comforting
t his bereaved family. It was my
pleasure to Ih with him often: and
one night, when the physician thought
he could not last until morning, he
quoted tt few words of that old hymn
Just As I Am." Then I tried to sing
It for him. Commanding all the
strength he had. und by sheer force of
a suisTtor will, he controlled his
breathing and joined me In singing
several verses. When we had sung:
Just as I am. thou wilt receive.
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, rellern;
Pecause thy promise I believe,
k Lamb of God, I come!
He said, 'Ameo! Amen!' Again, he
used the words of Christ on the cross:
"Father, into Thy hands I commend
my spirit.'
"On one occasion the nurse heard
bim talking and went into his room,
asking If he had called. He replied.
t) no. I was Just talking to my best
friend.
"His faith and trust were implicit,
hence this is a glorious Earner for his
soul. The corruptible has put on In
corruption, the mortal has been
clothed upon with Immortality, and
mortality has been swallowed up of
life."
Thn profusion of flowers sent from
far and near acclaimed the fact that
Mr. Roberts leaves a host of friends to
miss him, and to share the grief of the
bereaved family. , S
