We have none of the ordinary
data that usually enters into an
obituary, but lam imformed that
Brother Boyle was born in the
State of Texas about fifty seven
years ago. He obeyed the
Gospel while yet a young man,
and entered upon the ministry at
that time. He held a number of
choice pastorates and he was also
an able and successful Evange-
list. It is positively known that
he was recently offered the
pastorate of a strong church,
lut it seems that he had dedicat-
himself to the work in South
40. He wao a Rial! Ol euUCa-
broad experience, and he
as a very forceful speaker. He
was held in the highest esteem
by all the ministers wherever he
labored, and his people loved
him as a true and faithful minist-
er.
He left Palacios just two weeks
ago, as every one thought, a
well man, save a little cold he
had contracted a day or two be-
fore. He went as onG of the
delegates from this congrega-
firm qnH uc t n t0 Fi'OH!
El Campo, to the International
Christian Convention which con-
vened in Kansas City, Mo., on
the 24th ult. It was the writer's
pleasure to see him often*for the
first four days of the Conven-
tion, and on the fourth evening
he said he really thought he was
sick, and he made a special re-
quest that if he should become
very-ill that I should sec that he
•was properly cared for. Early
that night a physician was called
and he diagnosed his case as
pneumonia. Sunday evening be
was placed in the hospital where
he received ev$r? care to the
end. I was with him on Monday
morning for some two and one
half hours, and on leaving him
he expressed himself as hopeful
of returning to his work, but if
he did not he desired that I bear
his love back to his congrega-
tions, and to assure them of his
resignation to the will of Our
Heavenly Father, requesting
the Church, the Sunday School
and the Endeavorers to be loyal
and faithful to the end.
