THE LATE R. A. SAVAGE.
Address Delivered March I, 1901, by Rev.
W. L. Anderson of Exeter, N. II., in
Memory of the Hon. R. A. Savage
ot Stowe.
''Him that overcometh will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God, aud he
shall go no more out : and I will write
upon him the name of my God, aud the
name of the city of my God, which is
new Jerusalem, which cometh down out
of heaven from my God: and I will
write upon him my new name. " Rev
elation 3:12.
In the vision of the seer of Patmos
it is not easy to distinguish the eter
nal from the temporal. We seem to
see the temple of God rising upon
earth and the new Jerusalem coming
down out of heaven : butall prophecy
of events in time finds its perfect ful
fillment in the eternal world. There
is the temple of God," there Hthe eter
nal city. It is a templo of the spiiit
and its pillars are the faithful souls
that have proved their enduring
strength by overcoming the world.
He whom we remember with love
and honor to-day was distinguished
by a noble self mastery. His was an
overcoming life. He was a pillar in
the church, the earthly temple of
God. On him was written the name
of the city of God. But there came a
time of physical infirmity when the
pillar of the temple was broken and
the name certifying thiscit'zenship in
th9 new Jerusalem was no longer legi
ble. Let your hearts be comforted.
In the temple that is eternal he shall
be a pillar and be shall go no more
out: and on him the Lord of Life
shall write a new name conferring the
right to dwell forever in the Jerusalem
which is above.
It was the oppertunity of my life to
be associate! for eight years with Mr.
Savage, when he was still the wise
and masterful man ol his prime.
Leaving the town somewhat more
than ten 3 ears ago I was spared the
pain of observing the increase of that
disease which wrought such havoc in
his mind and heart. It is possible for
me, therefore, to recall what this
noble man has been with a freshness
of immediate vision, sinee I know him
only as he was in the full possession
of his powerB. I countit a great priv
ilege to be present to day to speak
the words that imperfectly express
my esteem and love in the hope that
I may contribute something to the
full appreciation of a life for which
we humbly give God thanks. Those
whoe memory reaches backw.ard but
a little way may not know what a
good man dwelt in this community,
what a saint hallowed this church. If
I did not do what is possible to per
petuate tb.9 right recollection of su':h
a man I should count it a serious
failure of gratitude for as wholesome
and powerful a personal influence as
ever wrought upon my life.
It is not necessary to review in de
tail the events which make the his
tory of this man. For eighty years
he has lived among you. You know the
story. It is that of a boy drawn by
all the forces of his soul toward an
intellectual life, and looking toward
The Christian ministry with a yearn
iug which was never to be gratified.
Compelled by family cares to leave
schowl before he had finished prepa
ration for college, he relinquished his
ambition to preach the gospel and
returned to the less congenial labor
of the farm. His industry and sa
gacity made him a successful farmer,
and in middle life he was able to dis
pose of his farm and to take up his
residence on the border of this vil
lage. There he had lived for many
years when I first knew him, and
that pleasant home is associated
with many of the happiest memories
of my pastorate. He was an indus
trious and thrifty man, and prosper
ed increasingly from year to year.
Always judicious, many trusts were
reposed in him. Public spirited as a
citizjn, he was willing to labor faith
fully in any service which promoted
ttie good ot the community. In such
official responsibilities as were laid
upon him by his fellow citizens he ac
quitted himself with such integrity
and discretion that his name was
ever the synonym of honor. It ac
corded with the early bent of his life
that his chief interest was in the
church and that to the church he
gave the largest service. Before my
pastorate he bad ceased to be leader
of the choir and to serve the Sunday
school as its superintendent; butdur-
mg all those years be was an ideal
deacon, a matchless Sunday school
teacher, and an adviser and helper
such as few pastors are able to lean
upon.
Of his character it Is a delight to
speak. We may flad a clue to it in a
remark which he once made concern
ing bis love for one of the classical
languages. The language fascinated
him because part fitted to part. To
translate was to separate what was
united rationally, and to reconstruct
the significant sentence from these
severed parts. It was the rationality
of the classic speech which pleased
him. His mind had the scientific
quality. It was natural for him to
place together what belonged togeth
er. It would have been impossible
for him to conceive a great result
from a slight cause.' Part must tit
part in everything with which he had
to do. Industry must match attain
ment. Success must have its price.
This fundamental rationality pre
vented him from becoming visionary,
from acting impulsively, from order
ing bis life without foresight.
Once apprehending this natural
temper we appreciate the kind of life
which be lived. It was not so spon
taneous as it was enduring: it was
not so free as it was adequate : it was
not so emotional as it was effective.
Others have shown more glow, others
have been more enthusiastic, others
have displayed more daring: but
He Laughs Best
Who Laughs Last
tt
A hearty laugh indicates a degree of
good health obtainable through pure blood.
As but one person in ten has pure blood,
the other nine should purify the blood
with Hood' s Sarsaparitla. Then they can
laugh first, last and all the time, for
they have made more mistakes, and
have fallen by the wav more frequent
ly, and have wasted themselves more
upon vain projects. He was instinc
tively cautious and was wise without
efftrt.
This rationality determined his
daily conduct and formed all the
habits of his life. It entered into his
conscientiousness. It was root of
his sense of justice. Conduct must
fib the proprieties of the case. To
give less than was due disturbed the
rational order. To give more than was
right for no good reason was tquaily
irrational. This absolute justice is a
very beautiful thing. A passionless
ordering of conduct has been a tasci
nating ideal: but this which we ob
serve in Mr. Savage was somethintr
finer. It was not passionless. His
love for fitting part to part became
a genuine enthusiasm. He loved
justice. An inact matching ol con
duct to duty was abhorrent to him.
His whole heart was absorbed in do
ing the thing which he believed to be
right. Here is cautious discrimin
ation and minute care in finding the
path of duty, but once found nli the
fon-es of his nature led his z-ial with
inextinguishable fire.
His religious life can be comprehend
ed from theBame point of view. He
was constrained to give God what
was fitting. He was just iu dealing
with God as he was jjst in dealing
with men. Carried to a certain leiiuth
this tendency becomes formalism
Mr Savage went much farther. What
is fitting in the relation of finite to
the infinite, of the imperfect to the
perfect? Adoration is fitting, confi
dence is fitting, love is fitting. And
Mr. Savage was engaged with all the
fervor of his being in giving to God,
the reverence, aud the trust, and the
love, that he deserves. Ic seemed to
him right that man should love God
with all the heart and with all the
soul and with all the strength and
with all the mind. To this exalted
aspiration to love God as he deserves,
he gave himself with all the fervor
of his devotion to justice.
This peculiar habit of the religious
life found expression in two different
ways. It made him exceeding watch
ful of his conduct, and paiticu
larly of those parts of conduct
which are most directly concerned
with God. Family prayers, of course,
found place in such a life. Oar Livn
this place in the routine of tlfcQf,
nolhirg was suffered to in ret fere with
this worship. When hU son, Ch jrtes,'
started for Constantinople the stage
appeared at the door before there
had been time for pravert w'.iich is
easily understood when it is remem
bered at what an early hour the
morning stage took its departure
and bow many things must have re
quired attention at the beginning ot
so long a journey. In such circum
stances what was to be done? Tne
baggage was loaded upon the stage,
which was suffered to go on its way.
Prayers were held and then the horse
was harnessed, the stage was over
taken and all was well. It would not
have seemed fitting to Mr. Savage
for his son to start for the other side
of the world without morning pray
ers. And so it was with a thousand
details of life.
The peculiar constraint of temper
and of character, under whose con
stant pressure this servant of God
endeavored to fill up the measure of
obligation, resulted on theother hand
in a remarkable development of the
emotional life. I have already said
that we are not to think of him as
subject to impulsive feeling. Pri
marily his life was in the reason and
the conscience. The law of feeling is
that it follows the vision of truth and
the dedication to duty. When, there
fore, the life which is ordered by reason
and conscience culminates in its logi
cal conclusion it bursts into a fltme
emotion. Mr. Savage possessed a
trained sensitiveness to the higher
ecstasy of communion with God. So
perfectly was he attuned for these
joys of the spirit that the preaching
ot the gospel excitea in ins soul tne
right feeling with acertainty compar
able to the mechanical accuracy of a
musical instrument. And worship
rarely failed to kindle his heart. The
most distinct recollection that I have
of his spiritual life is of one Sabbath
when we bad sung the hymn, of which
he spoke with great tenderness :
Jesus, thy name I love, v
All otber names above,
Jesus, my Lord I
OhI thou art all to me I
Nothing co pleasel see,
Nothing apart from thee,
Jesus, my Lord I
Jonathan E l wards is the illustrious
example of spiritual rapture inspired
by the vision of the truth. Certain
words of bis in a sermon on "The
Reality of Spiritual Light" come
to mind as one thinks of Mr. Savage.
"He that is spiritually enlightened
does not merely rationally believe
that God is glorious, but he has a
sense of the gloriousness of God in
his heart. There is not only a ration
al belief that God is holy, and that
holiness is a good thing, but there is
a sense of the loveliness of God a holi
ness." A heart thus trained to love God
could not fail in love to man. Here
again all was orderly and rational.
44
It was as easy for Mr. S.ivaiietu love
rte distant as the near, provided
t!,erewasany pr i rical l method of
h I ping t he neigh Imr lieond 1 he seas.
Uei.ce he felt a tfreHt, and constrain
ing int-rest in tuist-ions, and his gifts
once justly apftottiuued were bestow
td it U the regularity that appeared
iu ull his conduct. But his love for
men was not Mtnply the loyalty to
tie principle ot beucvo'euee. His
heart was tender and sympathetic.
No man could be kinder than be. In
ail the years that I knew him he never
failed in that quick sympathy which
made his counsel as comforting as it
was wise.
Such a life is useful not chiefly be
cause of remembered acts ol kindness
hut much more by reason ot the in
fluence that radiates from it as a
constant force. Whatpowerfor.right
eousness inleres iu such a person
ality I Whocan measure the difference
between what is with his life added
aud what would have been had he not
lived?
While we wou'd not think of claim
ing such an influence upon men of
every kind as such a life ought to
have if we think only of itsexcellence,
we may go almost any length iu
speuking of the influ. nee of Mr. Siv
age within the church of which he was
so long a member and an officer.
This church has always seemed to
roe a larger embodiment of the spirit
and character of its rcogniz ?d leader.
The boy who could not be a minister
lived to put the stamp of his Chris
tian personality upon a chut eh as
not one minister in a thousand suc
ceeds iu doing. Otherinh'uenceshave
contributed to the making of this
church, but'when all else is said there
is much which is not explained. I
humbly acknowledge that I have
never treed myselt from the framing
of his spirit. To this hour the type
of religion exemplified in him U that
which rules my U'arr. When I ws
pastor and he was one ot the flock he
was more po veiful than I. I bent
under Lit ii fl ueuce. He gave me uiy
ideals of t"ie church and uf the spirit
ual lite. V nat lie did lor tne he has
done for jou. I rtjoice iu it. 'this
church is always to me a bicof the
kingdom ot Hod which has already
come, and it is t bid iu a distinguish
ing degree because there was poured
ouc upon it the perpetu tl love and
care of this faithful aud wise man. I
entreat you who siiare in this tradi
tion of holy influence to bemindiul of
the sacred trust. God gave you a
great blessing. Mr. Savage would
have made a noble minister. God
took that choice mateiiil and
wrought of it a leader for you. 1 1 is
the old story of sacrifice. It is ever
the broken body which saves the
world. He that overcomes, that is
checked aud baffljd, butnot defeated,
becomes a pillar in the temple of God.
Li t'peakiug of Mr. Savage I have
used strong language intentionally.
I regard him as one of the purest ex
amples tit fie noblest type of man
whicii ISew Lagfand has produced.
H had the ability to win success iu
tUe exchange, the senate, the profes
sor's chair, me pulpir. Many men
with u less bill lent t-qirprnetit have
gone forth Iroiu Nhw Liugiand to win
conspicuous triumphs. But these
men ot this type stayed at home in
youth. They saenfic d the future of
which they dreamed at the demand of
conscience. They paid the price of
all great character, aud God added
a bl ssing. These men on sterile farm,
in obscure hamlet, with meager op
portunity, have wrested success from
most unpromising conditions. In
doing that, petty us t he tasks of their
daily lile have sometimes bteu, they
have won for themselves a character
which is the glory of our New Eug
land lite. That saciifk-ial spiritisthe
substance of religion, and these men
thus coming into attiuity with the
spiritual world have lived in time as
if they wereeterual, aud have wrought
a precious handiwork of gold and
silver and precious stones, whose
beauty survives the shocks of change
and is only revealed by the fire that
consumes what is fashioned of wood
and bay and stubble.
It rf quires a violent treatment of
the wishes of the dead to speak these
words of eulogy. Were he to speak
there w6uld be no mention of the
saint who becomes a pillar in the
temple of God. Instead he would bid
us repeat the words, " These are they
which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and
nude them white in the blood ot the
lamb. Therefore are they btfore the
throne of God, and serve him day and
night in his temple: and he that
sitteth on the throue shall dwell
among t hem. They shall hunger no
mote, neither thirst any more: neith
er shall the suu light ou them, nor
any heat. For the lamb which is in
the midst of the t hroneshall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living foun
tains of waters: and God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes."

A. R. CAMPBELL, - - Morrisville, Vf.
Salt is recognized by many of
our leading farmers, who have giv
en it a thorough trial, as an excel
lent fertilizer. On light, worn-out
soils, especially, it will repay twice
its cost.
As an exterminator of Paint
Brush its value has been fully es
tablished by the Government Ex
periment Station at Burlington.
See their Bulletin No. 56. They
say that when applied in proper
quantities it not only kills the
weed, but doubles the yield of grass
at the same time.
For the present, we make the fol
lowing extremely low prices on

Read what some of our leading
farmers say about Page's Fertiliz
ing Salt :
From II. II. Smith, Wolcott, Vt.
lnregiinl to your salt; I have used it for
the last two years, and I can truly say It's
the greatest f -itilizer I have ever seen. It
is gooil for any kind uf crops. In the last
two years I 1'iave had three acres of oats
each year and the growth w is large, heahhy
ami strong. This year I used a tun on three
acres and received a good result from it.
From II. E. Kneeland, Johnson, Vt.
Use! salt on various crops with good re
sults, but best tesults to oat crop. Turned
over several acres of worn out grass land
and sowed it at the rate of 400 lbs. per acre
with no other fertilizer, also used It on oat
stubble of previous sowing, and in both
cases as good results were obtained as when
I used barn manure. Think It is the
cheapest fertilizer for tho m ney Invested
that I have used. Intend to use more the
coming season.
From If. P. Hayford, Eden, Vt.
Am fully convinced that as a fertilizer for
oats It is the best and cheapest in the mar
ket. Used 600 pounds to the acre in place of
manure with good results.
From Pewell Newton, So. Hyde Patk, Vt
Spread one ton of salt on four acres and
sowed to onts. all "f It steep Bide hill, upon
which have never known any manure to be
drawn. Had sowed some two acres to oats
for 8 successive years and obtained more
last year where I used salt than in the three
previous tears altogether, it is much
cheaper and resulis as good, If not better
than commercial fertilizers, for small grains
and on dry or sandy soil.
From W. 8. Newcomb, Carty's Falls, Vt
Used It on oats. Made straw stiller and
brighter and less liable to lodge and rust
and the grain heavier. The bent fertilizer
considering Its cost, that I can get espe
cially on light, dry soil. Keeps the ground
moist and Insiufs a better eaten wheio it Is
desired to sow grass seed with oats.
Send in your orders early, as the
supply is limited.

From H. H. Katon, Morrisville, Vt.
Used lJO'i lbs. on three acres of oats last
spring Think it more than doubled the
crop, and the straw did not rust a particle.
Think money invested therein will pay
more than double and that it is one of the
best fertilizers 1 can get.
From L. G. Terrlll. Johnson, Vt.
Mixed a ton of salt, 6 barrels of lime, two
batrels ol leached, and 4 barrels of un
leached ashes, and sowed on five acres of
oats Could see a decided improvement
over the acre that had none of the mixture.
Think It paid me fully twice its cost.
From A. W. Edwards, Jeffersonville, Vt.
Sowed 5JO0 lbs. on 10 acres of very poor,
badly run out land. Used no mnnure.
Threshed out 367 bushels oats, and there
were several wasted by a severe stm m Just
before harvest. Think the use of salt gives
more grain and better quality. Gives good
results on dry laud.
From A. C. Davis. Hyde Park.
Sowed half ton of your salt on two acres
of ground. Ground not In good condition.
Had raised two crops before on same land
with very little manure. Hostile, a good crop
of oats, and tho oals weighed more than
32 lbs. to the bushel. Think salt good for
dry, light soil, shall use more next season.
From A. L. Jennings, Wolcott, Vt
Have used the salt for killing paiiiMirush.
It has always killed wherever used for that
purpose.
From E. M. Davis. Johnson, Vt.
Sowed half a ton n tw.t and a half acre
of land last season and received as good
oats as I did when I uned 15 loads of manure
to the acre. Shall use two tons this year.
From James Atwcll, Eden. Vt.
Used salt on old meadow laud that had
mowed 12 years, then plowed and sowed to
oats without manure. Got 82 bushels of oats
from two bushels sowing.
