His remains have been laid away in their last resting place, and our affection for him as a pastor is strengthened by ties of sacred love. Robert Kerr was born at Kilmarnock, Scotland on March 19, 1829. At the age of five years be was injured by a younger brother who dropped a stone upou his knee while engaged in play, thus causing him to.be crippled through life.

His tastes were of a literary nature and his constant deeiiewas to obtain an education. Not blessed with the riches of this world, he labored assiduously to increase his knowledge of books and thoir wealth; so great was his desire that he toiled all day and at night he was to be found at the evening classes. Often midnight oil was burned by the diligent student. The appearance of some poems in the local papers attracted the attention, of Rev. Dr.

W. M. Taylor, now. ot New York Tabernacle, and his "Learn, to Live" was the means of opening a communication with Rev. Dr.

Joseph Parker, now of City Temple, London. As a result Mr. Kerr was accepted as a Btudeut in the Cavindish Theological Manchester, England. In 1864 he was married to Miss Max-gert Crawford, who survives him. In 1867 he became pastor at Torres, Scotland, succeeding the iter.

Prof Hunter. In 1872 he visited America and examined lands along the Northern Pacific R. iu Minnesota. He was so well pleased with the country that he returned to his native laud, formed and sent ont an English and Scotch colony. WAKEFIELD, KANSAS.

In his Hymnal, which he then carried, I find recorded, in his own hand writing, a reference to Isa. 28, 16, which reading as follows indicates the steadfastness of his hope, "Therefore, thus saith the Lord God Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, precious corner stouo, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make His well-worn Bible, whioh tella the story of daily one, is a rebuke to the silt-ad. family Bible which is never nsed except for ornament After bo removed to Iowa, he never inienjtifled himpeU with any church.
