If for no other reason, his method of treating weak colonics in the spring, and other helpful suggestions, have placed the bee-keeping fraternity under lasting obligation to revere his memory. As a frequent visitor to his apiary I can positively assert that all the wonderful achieve- ments ascribed to him were literally true, as he was successful in every sense of the word. It often pained him that others questioned the merit of some of his methods, notably that of strengthening a weak colony by placing it over a strong one, but he would frequently point out where, failure was the result of bee-keepers overlooking some little though es- sential detail.

What he has done for the bee-keeping world entitles hira to a place with Langstroth. Da- dant. Dzierzon, and other stars of the first magnitude. Third, as a husband aud father. It has been my privilege as a clergyman to enter many homes in various parts of the country, and yet I must say that, for happi- ness, harmony, and contentment, the home of our brother was an ideal one.

On the oc- casion of a visit he related to me with much pardonable pride the satisfaction he felt in the fact that his children were all doing well, and that none of them had ever caused them a heartache. What a comfort this must be to his sons—noble, manly fellows, every one of them—and to his devoted wife and daugh- ter! It is such sweet homes as this that con- stitute the bulwark of our national right- eousness. In closing, I desire fo speak of our brother, fourth, as a Christian
