8 ADELPI-II ACADEMY. In Memoriam. JOHN 5. CROHBIE, JUNE 19th, I854.-APRIL 16th, 1893. When the Adelphi opened its doors in Septeml r, 1892, there sat at the desk in the Principals office, a man in the prime of life, full of enthusiasm, eager to enter upon his new work, and hopeful for the advancement of the Academy. Seven months later the door of that office was locked g a wreath of ivy lay upon the closed desk, which was draped with the emblems of sorrow. He who hail looked forward to years of service here, had finished his work, and having been faithful unto death, was crowned with glory and honor. Mr. Crombie came to Brooklyn with a record of brilliant scholarship and of sixteen years of successful work. He won all hearts by his manliness, the gentleness which was born of Christian love, and the faithfulness with which he performed every duty. In February there came to him suddenly the illness which was to be fatal. He was called to endure great suffering, which he bore with calm resignation, never once murmuring that he must close his life- work so early and be so soon separated from wife and children. On the morning of April 16th, from his useful and happy life he was exalted to a higher sphere of duty and felicity. The world is the better for such a man's life in it, and every one of us ought to be the better because he has lived and died among us. We can best honor his memory by imitating his virtues and cherishing the institution which lay so near his heart. I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors g and their works do follow them.
