His principles were firmly set against evil In every phase, His life was simple, unaffected, pure and strong. From the time of his conversion at twenty yours of age he was a consistent and earnest Christian.

His staunch Christftinchuriicter was founded on and fed by daily intelligent meditu-tion on Bible truth.
