JOHN R. MORRIS
The following tribute to a noble
man, in the Charlotte Observer, is
so beautiful that we reproduce
cracks a noble No
more fitting comment upon the
death of John R. Morris could be
made than that of Horatio upon the
death of the Dane. To The
his passing is an unaffected
grief. He knew he was soon to die; has
known it for a year; and lie was not
afraid but perhaps, he did not know
he was to die so certainly, even
his intimates did not, though it was
not concealed from them that he was
the victim of a malady. He
was a remarkable
for his intellectual gifts and graces
for his great heart, for his tender
love of his family and friends, his
unswerving fidelity to them, his in-
finite jest, his inimitable his
liberality, his unflagging
industry, even to the end. He lived
for others and for others only cared
to live. He knew so little of mean
that he did not recognize it
when he saw it in other men, and he
died without knowing what selfish-
is. He was the likeness of
truth, the soul of honor.
in the schools, he was an omni-
reader and educated himself
as few men are educated. He read
all literature except the modern and
was full of all knowledge, so that he
was not only at home in any com-
of cultured people, but a
able acquisition to any. It was his
personal qualities, however, that
made him so very lovable and com-
for there was never a
braver, gentler, sweeter spirit, and
many a man upon whom a flood of
sweet memories rushes as he thinks
of the open grave today, of the flow-
covered casket and the calm face
beneath its lid, can say of the spirit
which has gone back to the God who
gave it and in whom it believed,
