Memorial prepared at a Session <strong>of</strong> the 5th Avenue and 37th St. Presbyterian Church, Dec. 2, 1900, by Elder Theron G.<br />

"The great bereavement which we have sustained, both personally and as a Session, by the death <strong>of</strong> our beloved<br />

associate, Henry D. <strong>Noyes</strong>, impels us to place on the records <strong>of</strong> our church this tribute to his memory.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> us have been associated with Dr. <strong>Noyes</strong> as members and elders <strong>of</strong> the Church <strong>of</strong> the Covenant and <strong>of</strong> this<br />

church for about 30 years.<br />

His manly, Christian character, and his personal traits, as revealed in his pr<strong>of</strong>essional, social, domestic and religious life,<br />

won for him always our admiration and love.<br />

His earlier associates can never forget him as they knew him during the period <strong>of</strong> his increasing success and fame, before<br />

the infirmities <strong>of</strong> age laid hold <strong>of</strong> him. His singularly graceful and dignified presence, his refined and intelligent<br />

countenance, his clear and penetrating eye, his polished and courteous manner, his genial and cordial bearing, presented<br />

outward features <strong>of</strong> remarkable attraction and power.<br />

Nor can we forget the part he took in the religious life <strong>of</strong> the church, especially in the weekly meetings, when, with the<br />

keenest insight into spiritual things, with remarkable precision and beauty <strong>of</strong> diction and with genuine spiritual power, he<br />

<strong>com</strong>mented on the eternal verities, or led in uplifting and inspiring prayer.<br />

In recalling his pr<strong>of</strong>essional career, we realize that Dr. <strong>Noyes</strong> was in truth a genuine exemplification <strong>of</strong> the Christian<br />

physician. Of liberal culture and wide reading; <strong>of</strong> the highest scientific attainments, and in all respects abreast <strong>of</strong> the times;<br />

with a reputation which placed him in the very front rank <strong>of</strong> his pr<strong>of</strong>ession, he yet possessed a child-like faith in Christ and<br />

consistently followed in His steps.<br />

It was a beautiful feature <strong>of</strong> his medical career that his brilliant and <strong>com</strong>manding abilities were freely expended in the relief<br />

<strong>of</strong> suffering and distress among the poor, by following the Divine mission to "open the eyes <strong>of</strong> the blind," and to "bring light<br />

to them that sit in darkness."<br />

And now that there only remains to us the memory <strong>of</strong> what he was, as our colleague and friend, as well as in the<br />

assemblies <strong>of</strong> the great congregation, we rest assured <strong>of</strong> a joyful meeting with him again in the great Reunion.<br />

We <strong>of</strong>fer our sincere sympathy to his bereaved family, but rejoice with them in their possession <strong>of</strong> the many and blessed<br />

associations connected with his character and career, and the contemplation <strong>of</strong> a life work Christ-like and <strong>com</strong>plete." 1<br />
