FORTESCUK-COLE At a meeting ol the Southside Cler- icus, held at Babylon, on Monday May 18, the following minute on the death of Rev. John II. W. Fortescue Cole, was adopted by a rising vote : We are told of Enoch that he \Walked with God: and he was not for God took him . ” Rev. John H. W. Fortescue-Cole walked with God and on Easter Tuesday, April 14th, 1914, the Angel of Death touched him and whispered softly, “ The Master is come and calleth for thee and so he passed from the labors of earth to \The Rest that remaineth for the people of God” in the Church expectant in Paradise. He was a good man; and full of the Holy Ghost, and while we mourn his loss we know that for him “ to die was gain.” His gentleness and delic acy of speech and manner made it hard to realize that prior to taking orders, his profession was that of a soldier. We forgot that the bravest of the Apostles was not boasting Peter, but the gentle St. John, the Apostle of love.
