The following tribute from the pen of Mr. Alfred Farlow expresses in part, at least, the love and admiration felt for the high qualities of our brother and co-worker by thousands who knew him through his far-reaching and successful efforts for the advancement of our holy Cause. His quick recognition of the good in others, and his firm faith in its ultimate triumph everywhere, seldom failed to awaken a responsive thought wherever it touched, and many were thus led to seek the divine Principle of Christian Science which he always acknowledged as the source of all true optimism and the foundation of the brotherhood of man in which he so firmly believed.

Because he represented a noble type of true manhood he was keenly appreciative of the advancing idea of true womanhood, and ever held in the highest reverence our beloved Leader, whose teachings had shown him the way to that right understanding of God and man which is indeed "life eternal." Referring to Mrs. Eddy he says, "She stands foremost among religious teachers and reformers for purity of spiritual thought, ethics, language, and works. Simplicity of thought and teaching, and the logic of Truth are her weapons of peace." His words which follow are deeply significant at this hour, "Truth is always the 'Ancient of Days.' The central facts of life remain unchanged; but our mortal sense of man as the idea of the infinite Mind, advances and ascends."
