lover like freshness, and into which, through all the circumstances in which they were placed, death was never allowed to come. His beloved and faithful wife was reunited to him in 1886, in that home where they shall go out no more forever.

Their seven children survive them. The sons are ruling elders in the church in different states, and all his family are members of the family of Christ.

Dr. Holmes was honored and loved by all who knew him. He was eminently "diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord," at all times and in all places seeking opportunities of doing good. Prompt, punctual and faithful, his memory and influence will long remain. Surely many in the last great day will arise and called him blessed, and a starry crown will he gratefully lay at his Saviour's feet.

Rev. Henry Rowan Wilson, Jr., M. D., D. D.

This able and faithful servant of Christ was the son of a Presbyterian minister of the same name, well-known in his day as a man of fine scholarship and wide influence, an interteresting sketch of whose life may be found in another part of this volume. His mother, Elizabeth (Brown) Wilson, was a woman of superior worth.

Dr. Wilson, the younger, was born at Bellefonte, Pa., June 10, 1808. When in 1809 his father was elected to a professorship in Dickinson College, the family removed to Carlisle. Dr. Wilson used to tell it as a tradition of that early day that he made the journey from Bellefonte to Carlisle on horse-back, being carried on a pillow before his father. Within the walls of this institution the subject of this sketch spent some of his earlier years, as it was then the custom for the president and one of the professors to reside in the college building to preserve order among the students.

Young Wilson commenced his academical course at Dickinson College during Dr. John M. Mason's administration, but the institution being in a declining state he was sent to Jefferson College, where he entered at the age of sixteen, and graduated in 1828. Not being pious when he left college, he made choice of the profession of medicine, and prosecuted his studies
