him: "I had great satisfaction in his friendship, and in the thought that he was so near. I think I never met him without feeling better and happier." Upon the pedestal of the marble bust by Thomas Ball erected to his memory in King's Chapel is this inscription, not only showing the love of his parishioners, but with rare felicity portraying the character of the man:

HENRY WILDER FOOTE

MINISTER OF THIS CHURCH

FROM DECEMBER 1861 TO MAY 1889
BORN IN SALEM JUNE 2 1838
DIED IN BOSTON MAY 29 1889

A MAN OF THOROUGH LEARNING

BROAD CHARITY AND CLEAR UNSWERVING FAITH
GENTLE-PURE-STRONG

WISE IN JUDGMENT

TENDER IN SYMPATHY

RICH IN HOLY THOUGHT AND WORK
REVERING JUSTICE HE LOVED MERCY
AND WALKED HUMBLY WITH HIS GOD
HIS EVER-PRESENT SENSE OF DUTY
INSPIRED A LIFE

WHOSE JOY WAS TO STRENGTHEN AND CHEER
WITH VICTORIOUS FAITH AND ABIDING PEACE
HE LIVED AMONG US

BLESSING AND BLESSED

His success was in the deep impression he made upon the hearts and consciences of those who knew or heard him, and in the inestimable value of an inspiring memory, made sacred by the evidence of high talents faithfully used, by honest and consistent purpose, and by a true and pure life wholly devoted to the spiritual and moral welfare of his fellow-men. Lives such as his are so far above the materialism of the day, so apart from all that goes to make up the whirling activities of modern society, that they are impressive, not from any unreality, but as representing something higher and holier than our common experience. They can be studied and can well be imitated as Divine in their nature, and as a revelation of the possibility of an approach to the highest standard of mortal endeavor.
