IN MEMORIAM.
Mr. James L. Crauford, a member
of the Wilkinsburg congregation, died
at his home in Wilkinsburg, Pa., Oct.
27, 1914.
Five years ago a dread disease
fastened its hold upon him, robbing
him gradually of his physical powers
until, during the last year, he lay
helpless upon his bed.
To the last his mind was clear and
his faith in the sustaining power of
divine grace never faltered. Though
detained for 'many months from the
meetings in the church his interest
in the work was never lessened but
rather quickened.
Facing the end for flvelong years,
suffering intensely at times, he was
always cheerful, always grateful for
the interest shown by friends. These
closing years of his life revealed the
reality of his faith in Christ. It was a
severe test but faith triumphed.
He waited patiently for the Lord
—and the Lord came. He has entered
in through the gates into the city.
His memory and his influence will
live long among those who were fortunate
enough to know him.,
William C. Patterson died at his
home in Staunton, 111., on Oct 14,
1914. He was a son ot Mrs. Jane L.
Patterson, of Staunton, and a brother
of the Misses Jessie, May and
Helen Patterson, of St. Louis, and of
Mrs. R. J. G. McKnight, of Wilkinsburg,
Pa.
His father was the late Hugh Patterson,
who was for many years an
Elder in the Staunton congregation,
and was well known to all the ministers
of the ehurch in 'his time.
There are few of our ministers who
have not at some time enjoyed the
hosipitality ,'ol the .Patterson home.
Their welcome there was genuine.
Will Patterson was a quiet, unassuming
gentleman. He did his part
in the entertainment of guests silently,
for the most part, but he always
did it well.
No night was ever considered too
dark or too cold or too wet for him
to make the trip to town to meet
the coming guest. This was a service
which he did countless times and
always cheerfully. This however,
was but a small part of his contribution
to the work of keeping the
Covenanter cause alive in Staunton.
He was always present at the services
on iSabbath and no minister
could desire a more sympathetic or
more intelligent listener. He gave
liberally of his means to the maintainance
of the work but more than
that, he adorned the Christian faith
by a life that exemplified most fully
the principles of the Sermon on the
Mount.
He did not prate about religion.
He lived a life that commended his
faith to all who knew him. It is
something to have lived a whole lifetime
in one community and there to
pass out with the loving esteem of
every member of that community
from the humblest to the highest.
A FAMILY PAPEE.
A POST-MILLENNIAL PAMPHLET.
Almost all the literature of the
present day that touches on the subject
of the Second Coming of Christ,
presents and advocates the Pre-milliunial
view of that event.
At the last meeting of Synod, at
a gathering of the members of Synod
in the grove on the University Campus,
a conference on this subject was
held.
A paper read by the undersigned,
setting forth the Post-millennial view,
was requested for publication.
If there be sufficient demand for
