He also supportedmissionaries in Cuba and Africa, and recently donated $48,000as an endowment fund for the permanent support of a mission-ary pair in the latter country. To all the missionaries he was a loyal and sympathetic friend,and in an especial manner to those whom he supported, invari-ably and promptly answering their letters and affectionatelyinterested in all that concerned them. We warmly appreciate and highly value his public testimony,given on his return from his recent trip to Korea, that the suc-cess and extent of the work there had far exceeded his expecta-tions, and that he considered his missionary investment in thatcountry the most satisfactory investment he had ever made. Throughout the years he has been the constant friend of theExecutive Committee of Foreign Missions, aiding its work notonly by his means but by his wise counsel. For several monthshe was a member of the Committee, making monthly the longtrip from Durham to Nashville and back, and winning the ad-. u miring affection of his fellow-members by the soundness of hisjudgment and the charm of his personality. In their variedrelations with him the Foreign Mission Committee alwaysfound him the golden-hearted Christian gentleman, walkinghumbly in the steps and illustrating the spirit of Him Whocame not to be ministered unto but to minister. To his loved ones we express our sincere sympathy in theirbereavement, and we pray that upon his descendants to thethird and fourth generation may rest a double portion of hisspirit. Egbert W.
