of the Reaper whose name is Death — in those days many of us. yea all of us, said to ourselves. Not until now did we realize the greatness of our loss. In speaking of our loss, we are not thinking of the loss of the ehurch, inasmuch as a great theologian, an aeiurate thinker, a gifted pulpit orator has passed away. Nor are we thinking ot the loss to the city of Ft. Wayne, inasmuch as one of its most truly public spirited men is no more. No, we are thinking most specifically of our own loss, inasmuch as we lost a teacher and leader. As we think back over the years that have passed we realize that he was to us a teacher in the truest and most ultimate sense of the word. We know that he sought to awaken and did awaken in us the powers of our slumbering souls; that he taught us not so much by his instruction as by his personality; that he was wont to stand before us in the classroom as a man fourscpiare, without a flaw who was doing the work of bis calling with a high earnest- ness and an exalted joyfulness, as die bearer of a sacred fire which he would fain transfer into our souls in order that we migiit be enabled to go out into the world, whereever it might please God to place us, and do our work as men of fullgrown stature — even as he did his. And in this sense may he remain our taskmaster ever! May we do the work of our calling in life in die spirit in which he taught us to do our work here at Concordia! W. M.
