C: Born, Barnegat, N. J. December 30, 1853; Died, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, S. A. March 27, 1880 Shortly after I removed my family to Washington, there was a class of four boys organized, of which George was one. Of these, but one now lives, J. Alexander Edgar, the Secretary of the Sabbath school, and the son of the Sabbath school Superintendent, and I am thankful that every one of those boys were brought into the fold. Our dear George was somewhat late in manifesting his adhesion to Christ, but we hear that it was not a death-bed repentance, but that the seed which had been planted, and the prayers which had gone up in his behalf in former years, had brought forth fruit, and that before the hand of disease was upon him he had considered the great subject of eternity and had given his heart to Christ, and he left a testimony - I believe it was contained in a letter to the Superintendent of his Sabbath school - in which he testified his hope of everlasting life. While I thank God for this very satisfactory conclusion of a career in these three cases, that was evinced under such favorable circumstances, we have reason to-day to be grate ful above all things. How these parents have occasion to be grateful to God for giving them such a son with such faculties, that he was by their excellent family discipline moulded into such a young man. Not only so, but that he formed the best of a character which commanded respect with his associates in public service, and they come to-day and offer their tribute with ours, some of them, to the virtues of the departed. It is not, then, an occasion of deep mourning! He, who has left us has only passed on before, and has left a record a bright and enduring record - behind. He has left a testi mony in favor of the saving power of this blessed truth of the Gospel. Now, we thought it strange that George remained so long out of the Church, that be postponed to such a period his return to Christ; but he has come in, thank God. We know he is safe, and his bright and manly character, with all his honorable elements of manhood, is another testi mony - another monument to the power of the Saving Grace, upon which alone we can hope for the regeneration of the world.
