IN MEMORIAM
There is perhaps no relation sustained between fellow citizens which so uniformly produces and fosters a warm and devoted friendship as that which exists between him who administers relief to persons in pain and sickness, and the person so relieved. The office of preacher and of teacher may be more important, it being a greater necessity to our well being, that the must be enlightened, that that the body be in health. Yet so long as we are in the flesh where sickness and pain will visit us and long will be this instrument who is the means of giving us ease and health always have our warmest gratitude and friendship. Our Saviour who spake as never man spake was not followed by the multitude as much from this as because he healed all manner of sickness and disease. Our lamented citizen, Dr. James W. Boyle, who has been suddenly called away from us, was an example of the most beautiful unselfishness, exhibiting in all his conduct the tenderness and most lively interest in all suffering humanity. His profession doubtless has a tendency to strengthen by constantly calling into exercise and benevolent affection of the heart, but those who have known Dr. Boyle, especially those to whom he has administered medical advice, cannot but think that naturally he was one of Nature’s noblemen, a kindly man whose large heart needed not to be cultivated and stimulated to make it respond readily to the cry of distress. But a few weeks ago, while he was engaged day and night in attending the sick, after he had ridden all day in the rain, it was suggested to him that he was certainly overworking himself, and did not look well, "I am not well," he said, "and nothing keeps me now from being taken down, but that I have no time to be sick, and my anxiety about so many people keeps me up." This proved to be sadly true, he never took time to be sick, but worked for others till the last moment it was possible to do so, till the agonies of death were almost upon him. His ruling passion seemed strong in death. "Don’t let the old Doctor be routed up, now!" he said. His kind voice is hushed, his loving heart stilled; but the Father of the fatherless will not forget his promises to those who show mercy to the poor and distressed. R.
