tul iu the Supreme court, losing
s comparatively few cases, out of
e the vast number he argued
s there.
y As a man, and a citizen, Mr.
r Allison was modest, retiring aud
e unassuming. But he had cleare
cut notions ot right and duty,
B and was firm and unwavering in
ti his convictions. He was patriotic,
h high-toned and courageous.?
- There was nothing little or nara
row about him. He was charie
table in his views and criticisms
1 of others, always striving to find
'. the good in his fellow man and
throwing the veil of charity ever
, his faults. He did not practice
f law with the sole purpose of
r making money. His fees were
1 always reasonable, especially
. with clients of small means,
? whose cases he would fight to the
end. llis demeanor both in and
b out of the court house was that
s of the high toned gentleman.?
f He had the respect and confis
dence of all the members of the
* bar and the esteem of the mem
. hers of the bench. His death
. marks the passing away of one ot
i the few remaining ante helium
i lawyers, who stood for so much
a that was ennobling to the profesI
sion.
r Mr. Allison was a devoted husf

, idolized?but from motives of
s delicacy I shall not invade its
- sanctity. But no life is complete1
ly rounded unless it lias its re)
ligious side. Dr. Young in his
f "Night Thoughts" has said:?
"A christian is the highest type
? of man." Mr. Allison, in early
1 life, chose that good part that
, could not be taken away, and
connected himself with the Meth/
odist church, and was one of its
1 most active and consistent mem
I bers. He was not like so many,
i a mere nominal christian, lut in
i his daily walk and KniivoNotin.?
} gave unmistakable evidence, to
:> the world, that lie had cast in his
s lot with the people of God and
1 was not ashamed of the religion
t which he professed. He gave
e liberally of his means to the sup.
port of the church, and his intlu3
ence for good was telt in all her
- councils. The pastor could al
t ways rely upon his sympathy and
t support. He had been many
times steward, trustee, superin1
tendent of the Sunday school and
y delegate to all the church cone
lerences from the highest to the
lowest. At the time ot his death
e lie Had a class composed of the
r teachers of the Sunday school
e who were edified and improved
_ by his instruction. He was a life
member of the American Bible
Society. Verily a prince in Isv
rael has fallen. He will be
l" greatly missed in the home, the
s church, by the members of the
d far, and indeed by the whole
community.
