He was a hero, strong to body, clear of mind, simple iu habits, brave in danger, faithful in duty ; and the best of it all ie we did not have to wait until he was dead to find all this out and say those noble 'things about him. Not like Alexander, who wept for more worlds to conquer ; nor like Omar, whose own personal am- bitions brought him to his death ; nor like Napoleon, who swept millions of his countrymen to death that his own glory might shine forth. Our Brother Robert- son was not like great mea whose great• nese was largely Increased by being con- etautly in the public eye. When you and I slept in warm bele, wheu we wore in the midst of our beloved families, shelter. ed from wind and rain and storm, he was out amid all the war of the elements per- forming those unheard of duties which made it possible for you and I to enjoy the very comforts of which ho was do prived.

During the late freshet ou White river the bridge that spans that stream was termed away, and Brother Robertson was ordered to repair the same as speedily as possible in order that Wallin might not be delayed. By an nnforeoen shifting of a ohain our beloved brother wee swept into the mad and raging stream. He was ebrong, and hie mon report that for vibe a few minntee ho maintained himself above the howling orators. Ho tried to make one bank and then another -alae, in vain.

Every effort has been made to re- cover the body of aur brother, bub with. out euccese. Thus met he his death, our brother, in the face of duty, and we honor his memory, not only with those, our Iribnbo of words' bub with, heart and soul, Brother Roberteon was liberal to n fault, ever ready to help it Priaud, and what we all aclt i.red him greatly for Was the grand and long kindness whieh he showed to his two stebeee, who lived with him. Abottb four months_ ago while working over bhe Stuck river a man by the uamo OE Nelson was ktiooltod into the river in the same tnannot as afterwards befell Brother Robertson.
