OF SCMTEIt,
FROM THE THIRD DISTRICT
fashioned and prepared for God's
kingdom on earth.
This sketch would be quite Im
perfect If we did not meution a
few of the prominent characteris
tics of our brother,and chief among
them was his plomptneas. He
learned in early life the important
lesson, that duty deferred, was
duty not performed. Hence, in bis
Christian duties, as well a, in bis
secular pursuits, he had a time in
which to do everything, and tried
to do everything at the proper
time. He was no laggard; never
behind. When tho hoar for preach
ing arrived, if he was to preach,
he commenced. If olhere were to
preach, and did not arrive and
commence in time, they were at a
discount with our brother.
Another characteristic was; his
fidelity to his friends. He was one
of the few men, that could and
would, say to his friend, when iu
error; “brother, you are wroug
His was the part of the true friend,

death of Rbv. Wyatt Bbooks. It
we possesied the ability, (which
we do not pretend to claim) of
properly portraying the character
of sur brother,in life,and in death,
it would require more time than
we have at our command, and
would take up more space than the
records of . our Sabbath school
would afford. We must therefore
content ourselves with a compara
tively brief notice, of the life and
character of this truly good and
useful man,
We do not claim for our brother
absolute purity, In the common
acceptation of the term, (tor none
are thus perfect,) but we do claim
for him, Christian perfection, iu a
most emanent degree. If there
was one, of all of earth's children,
that was more com pletely conse
crated to the service of his Master,
or that strove more ardently and
constantly to perform the duties
which that service imposed than
did Wyatt Bbooks, it has not been
onr good fortune to know such an
one. He consecrated himself to
that service in boyhood days, and
iu youth, manhood, and old age
he was equally faithful. In the
pursuit of his worldly avocations,
he was energetic; industrious and
untiring. Few men equaled,and
none surpassed him in this res
pect. Whatever he found for his
hands to do, be did it with all his
might; but never, during his long
life, did he allow his worldly pur
suits to intervene betweenbimand
his duty
He sought first the kingdom ot
God and His righteousness in ev
ery thing; and trusted the prom
ise, “that in due timu, all needful
things would be added.” It can
truly be said of him, that there
were few “like him in the earth
a perfect and an upright man; one
that teaied God, and eschewed
evil,” His whole life, was one of
supreme devotion to Christian
principle and duty. His polar
star, was his foible. By its light
attd teachings he wbb fed, by its
warnings he was admonished, by
it3 promises he was ^cheered, anti
in the Christian’s faith he died.
Died I no, this is not the word.
He will never die, he only rests
from his labours and his works
follow him.
Brother Bbooks was not a learn
ed Stan m a literary point of view
—his education was limited; but
in all the Christian graces, he was
polished after the samilitude of a
palace. '
His devotion to the cause of Sab
hath schools,wsb constant and un
tiring. He recognizid the fact,
and acted on it; that the Sabbath
school was the camp of instruction,
where the young were trained for
future useiulnct-s—the nursery of
Alv. ebutvh, whore* material was
Another characteristic was; his
devotion to his church,(the Meth
odist,) which was only surpassed
by his devotion to his Master, He
believed, and acted on his belief,
that the Methodist church, was
above all others, iu its ductrines,
and polity,more in accord with the
teachings of the foible, than any
other.
His broad Catholic views, how
ever, never allowed him toiliscouut
the piety, or question the integri
ty, of members of other churches.
Whenever and wherever he found
one that was faithful in the dis
charge of duty, whether of his
own church or some other,he hail
ed him as a brother, and bid him
Gods’ speed. With this brief
p ortrature of the character ot our
brother while in life, it would be
needless to say muolt about bis
death. There could be but one
end to such a life, and thateud
peace.
What a legacy he has left, not
only to his family but to all who
Knew him, Who ol us that knew
him are not the better for tho- ao-
quriDtance; and who, so callous
that they will not extend sympa
thy and condolence to the bereav
ed family. He served his day and
generation well, and has gone to
reap the reward of the just. The
journey was a short one.
The chamber where the good
man meets his fate, is honored
above the common walks of life,
quite on the verge of heaven.”
Therefore Resolved 1 That in
the death of Bev. Wyatt Brooks,
the Methodist church has lost one
of its most exemplary members—
the Sabbath school a zealous sup
porter—the community one of its
brightest lights—the wife a dear
husband—tho children and grand
children • kind aud indulgent la
ther.
Resolved 2nd. Thai we hereby
tender to the stricken family, onr
sincere sympathy and condolence
in this,their hour of bereavement,
Resolved 3rd. That this preamble
and these resolutions be spread
upon the minitsB of the 8abbath
school, and a copy of the eame he
furnished the family of the deceas
ed by the Secretary of this school
aud that a copy also be furnished
the editor of the Butler Herald
with the request that he publish
the sae»e.
8evolved 4th. That as a further
testimonial of respect, that the
stand and bible be draped in
mourning for the epaoe of thirty
days.
