PHILLIPS, CAMDEN, N. J. "The sun set; but set not his hope; And can it be? Has Thomas Rees Davies jority? Is he among the silent dead? quence unite to affirm that he has entered upon the journey whence no traveler returns. Alas! The Welsh patriot, the genial friend, the ready helper, the honest servant, the fond father has passed away-passed away, we trust, into a more genial clime, and among more congenial company. The subject of our brief memoir was born at an obscure Welsh Hall on Arch Street, his home rhydowen, near Llandyssil, Cardiganon Mt. Vernon Street, in mute elo. shire, S. Wales. His father's name "Here lies at rest, Some of the most scholarly preach ers and writers received their elementary training from this distinguished grandsire. The death of our lamented friend occurred on Thursday, December 10, 1891, at 1817 Mt. Vernon Street in this city. His funeral obsequies took place the following Sunday at 5 P.M. The services were conducted by Rev. Sylvanus Stall, Editor of the Lutheran Observer. A prayer in Welsh was offered by the writer. Monday, Dec. 14, the remains were conveyed to Allentown, Pa., where his beloved wife had previously been buried. The Masonic ceremony was in charge of Chaplain R. J. Heim. Mr. Davies was in his 69th year when he died, having been born August 23, 1823. Four promising sons were left to mourn their loss; one a civil engineer, one a physician, another an attorney, the other studying at Lehigh University. The attachment between father and sons was of the tenderest nature. The sentiment expressed in the last will and testament will doubtlessly be scrupulously observed. Not only will this bereavement be felt by his family, but by a host of admiring friends of different nationalities. His loss will be most keenly felt by his late countrymen, in whose welfare he took profound interest. He was a member of St. David's Society, but distributed his charities outside of that organization. He was also a trustee in the Lutheran Church at 13th and Spring Garden Sts., and of the Ward Charity Organization in which he resided. He possessed a number of attractive virtues, which we might sum up under three classifications: I. HE WAS NOTED FOR HIS CHARI- many Some of his benevolent deeds are well known; yet there are others of which we have no record. We believe, however, that they are registered in the book of Divine remembrance. The writer is familiar with a few examples of his noblehearted liberality, and is forcibly reminded of the Master's enconium, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye Thomas have done it unto me." Rees Davies was better than his creed. I have no sympathy with Unitarian beliefs, but with the prac tical Christianity, so largely exhibited by many of the Unitarian persuasion, I have the profoundest appreciation. There are those whose creed is better than their lies. They are orthodox in doctrine, but heterodox in conduct. These ecclesiastics, like the priest and Levite, pass by their distressed neighbors on the other side. "Oh! poor fellow," says one of these apostles of sanctimoniousness, "I know he is in distress, I shall pray for him, I cannot stop to relieve him, God knows." I believe in prayer; It is the "Christian's vital breath," but prayer is mockery unless we have the almsgiv ing spirit. It is sheer hypocrisy to offer a prayer (?) when a loaf of bread is what is most needed. A farmer whose cribs were full of corn was accustomed to pray that the wants of the needy might be supplied, but when any one needy asked for a little corn, he said that he had none to spare.
