Mr. Crisp had not been ill, bul the infirmities of age gradually sapped his strength, and he slowly weak ened until the end. his passing away being beautifully illustrative of the sublime thought of "sinking out ol' self into Christ." His death has been moment a lily expetced for days, and the whole community mourns tho passing of a good man-one whose long life in our midst had ever been an inspiration to the youth as well as to those, of more mature years as an example well worthy of emulation. Simple, unostentatious, unselfish, his life was truly such as may well he looked upon us a con stant and close walk with God. In the long years that we had known Robert Crisp, there bas never beer, heard one single remark that might even indicate the possibility of a small act or an uncharitable word as emanating from him. lie was one of "nature's noblemen", to whom an honorable record through life meant infinitely more than riches or the vain honors of this world. In the passing of Robert Crisp one of the finest specimens of exalted manhood we have ever known has been called to his reward, and his reward is sure and certain "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord." We mourn his passing away, but his loved ones sor row not. as those without hope, and they will lind comfort in the price less legacy he has left them in the record of 92 years of righteous liv ing.
