eath of a Veteran of the ,oUt*.Par
olina Conforence, Who Lived
Whet He Preached.
"A king one said of a'prince struck
down,
Taller he seems in d6ath."
So it was with the Rev. John Wes
ley Humbert, whose remains were in
ferred in Rosemont cemetery onq Sul
Qay afternoon. He was a mark of
God. Nothing more could be said of
any.man. He was a Chistian gentle
man. His life was pure, and his deeds
were good. Having devoted himself
to the ministry, he studied deeply ail
lie preached well, and he lived what
he preachied. His daily conduct Ws
an eloquent sermon. He loved God
and lie 'loved his fellow-man, ,and in
that lie included all the command
ments. 'The good which he did will
live after him. Those who knew him
'respected and honored and loved him.
The end came at 3.30 o'clock on
Friday afternoon. For some time he
had beei in failing health. He had
realized his condition, and at the
ieetinm of the Conference in Dar
limdon in December of 1904 lie con
sented. to be placed oil the superaniu
liated roll of ministers. He. camle to
Newherry and built a cottage in Main
street, where lie lived until his death.
ie two years prior to his.coming to
Newherry Ie served at Ridgeville.
The Rev. Mr. Ilumbert 's hig.-hest
ambition in life wias to save souls. He
was always sincere and lie was always
sympathetic, and in the great work
which he set oit to do Mrs. Humbert
wafs alwayVs a help to him. In the
Twentieth ( Ceitury Sketches, publisl
Nd in 1900, it was said of this couple
that they were Imovinl. on g'raefullv
to(gtethier, doinur their work- in (od's
tear andi4 I'or his tlory, and the sketch
, Mr. 1ftllumbert's life was coliuhided
with a quotation from Bobbie Burns,
which might well have been written
of Mr. and Mrs. Humbert
"John Andei\son, my Jo., John,
When we were first acquent,
Your locks were like the raven,
Your bonnie brow was brent;
But now youl brow is )eld, John,
Your locks are like the snow;
But blessings on your frosty pow,
John Anderson, my Jo.'
The Rev. Mr. Humbert was seventy
one years of age. He joined the South
Carolina Conference on probatNon at
the Greenville Conference, Bishop
Joh l Elarly presiding, in Deember,
1S59. From that time antil tlie meet
ing of, the Conference in Darlinton0
less than two years a"o he was con
stantly at work. Ile never missed a

Dr. Willsoni's sermon was eloquent.
As lie said, lie could iiot say too mch
of a life such as had been Mr. Hum
bert's.
''Let me die the death- of the right
eous, and let my last end be like his,''
was the theme of Dr. Willson's ad
dress. When some n'in of God should
speak the solemn words of the last,
service lie would like for it to be pos
sible for it to be said of him, " Let
me die the death of the iigiteo'us, and
let my last end be like his.
I)r. Willson spoke f Mr. Hum
bert's life at colle,e. During the
