A man who lived for what he could do for others, whose one desire and ideal was that he might make an impression upon the young man of America and lift him to higher standards, has joined the choir invisible. Continuing, he said: I am not going to speak of his forty or more books, or the work that he did on the St. Nicholas or the Wide Awake, but of him as an inspirer of young life,—of a man, himself inspired, who was the cause of inspiration in others. Mr. Butterworth told how William Lloyd Garrison had touched John G. Whittier, then a young man, on the shoulder, and said, You are a poet, and how Whittier, in turn, said the same to Lucy Larcom in her early life, and the results which followed from the words of encouragement. N. Parker Willis and James T. Fields were others who inspired young writers. In the same way, he said, Mr. Brooks had words of encouragement for young authors, and helped them along the difficult pathway to success. Among the cases he cited without giving

erican government, which was issued a few years ago by the Century company, had the unprecedented sale of 20,000 volumes in the first three months after its publication. In December, 1891, Mr. Brooks wrote a prize story, published in the Detroit Free Press, entitled A Son of Issachar, of which Mr. Brooks said: It was written to see if a religious novel would have a chance with a secular public, and the result easily proved that such was possible.

Mr. Brooks was a member of the Authors' Club of New York, which includes the leading authors of the country, and also of several historical societies. At the time of his death he was first vice-president of the Somerville Historical Society.

f a man who did his duty, and who lived a faithful, earnest, and sincere life, and who made the world better because of his sojourn in it. To have done this is to have lived worthily and to have made the most and the best of life. To have done this is to live long in the affections of those we leave behind when we have crossed the bar; and the name of Elbridge Brooks will linger long in the memory of those who knew him best. Address by Mr. Butterworth After a very touching solo by Miss Clark, entitled God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, Hezekiah Butterworth spoke words of eloquent eulogy. A builder of men, he said, has gone from among us. A man who lived for what he could do for others, whose one desire and ideal was that he might make an impression upon the young man of America and lift him to higher standards, has joined the choir invisible.
