He had $10,000 life insurance which be had placed on his life be fore he became marked. The doctors told him be could not live six mouths; his friends encouraged him the same way. He told them he did rot think he would live that long, and that he did not care if he died the* next day. He made a sale of his life insurance policy at seventy-five cents on the dollar, and came to Asheville, N. C. Finding the climate there too cold and raw he came on t > Aiken. The first thing he did after coming here was to buy a cemetery lot, which he got very cheap, for there was never much demand for that sort of real es tate in this vicinity. While he was fixing it up, and while he was culti vating the acquaintance of an under taker, he began to get better. He had one lung when he came here, and you could hear him breathe a block away. He lingered until he began to pick up. and the first thing we knew he had sold bis lot in the cemetery. He actually grew a new lung without taking anything except tbe blessed atmosphere of this glorious climate. He got well of the consumption. He went into business on his life insu rance money, and lived ten years. His death was caused then by an ac- y cident. He had grown to be a man of easy circumstances before he de parted this life. Y.

Resolved, That while, we are called upon to part with Brother Cuthbert, we shall ever fondly cherish his memory as one who has always fearlessly and faith fully carried forward the charge com mitted to his care under any and all cir cumstances to the glory of God, and the interest of his church. Resolved, That we do most sincerely appreciate the kindly services of Brother Cuthbert, the best days of whose life have been freely given to the work that las always lain nearest his heart. ‘ Resolved, That we deeply deplore the separation of pastor and people, but we shall ever pray that heaven’s richest blessings may descend upon him and his faithful wife, who has been with, him an efficient co-worker and whose kindly admonitions and prayers w’e so much desire to be continued in our various church and Sunday-school work.
