It could not be otherwise. The power of moral character is inevitable. Wealth is power. Knowledge is power. But Christian char- *Appendix F. 26 acter is vastl}' more a power. "■ The righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance "" — not because they are rich or learned, but because the}' are good. Christ is remembered, not b}' inspira- tion, but by spotless character. Take awa}" his personality and there is no Christianity. Den}^ this Church and people all that is due to the per- sonalit}'... of this Christian woman, and you den}^ them much that has contributed to make their his- tor}' what it is.'"^* And this leads me to add, in conclusion, to the members of this Church, it is an unspeakable privilege to which you have been called, viz, to enjoy the ministrations of such a couple in the pas- torate through their protracted life-time; and then to have them still in 3'our care — a sacred trust — when crowned with hoar}^ 3^ears, until the Master calls them up higher; and you are permitted to lay them beside your own kindred, and among their own people, who have "gone before!" True, it was 3'our parents and grandparents who chiefly enjo3^ed their fruitful labors, and the3' have all passed over the river, leaving the solemn charge to their children, and children's children, thus in- tensifying its import and hallowing the service of the hour.
