pleted in the select school of J. C. Schenck, Princeton, N. J.), he manifested a peculiar aptness for the study of the languages and pleasure in the Greek, in which branch he excelled. When eleven years of age he made a public profession of religion, and in the following year began to lead in pubfic prayer. Shortly after he became a Sabbath-school teacher-a duty in which he found much pleasure, and continued while pursuing his studies. He was educated in New Jersey College, Princeton, N. J., and graduated with honor in 1861, and studied theology in the Seminary at Princeton, N. J. In the vacation of his second year at the Theological Seminary he was employed by the Mission Board of the Canadian Presbyterian Church at Silver Hill, Canada West, and his sojourn and labors there were signally blessed to the people of his care. He was licensed by New Brunswick Presbytery, and ordained by the same April 23, 1864, in the Second Presbyterian Church in Princeton. It was an occasion of rare interest, and the scene one long to be remembered, when three brothers-Richard, James S. and John Wylie-by the "laying on of the hands of the Presbytery," were set apart to the sacred work of preaching Christ; and, in accordance with a form customary in our Church, were welcomed by brethren in the Master's service, some of them their former instructors in college and seminary, to take part in the ministry with them. Two of the brothers soon after sailed for the Pacific coast, where they are now settled and at work in their respective fields. He commenced his labors as stated supply for the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, Princeton, N. J., an organization of colored people. This relation lasted a year, when, in company with his father, he went out to the Pacific coast and settled in Eugene City, Oregon, and took charge of the church in that place. This relation was of short duration, less than one year. His health gradually gave way, suffering as he did from an abscess, until he died, Jan. 27, 1866. He was not married. His father and two brothers, Richard and James S. Wylie, are Presbyterian ministers. 66 A friend writes as follows: He was eminently successful in Oregon, the membership being more than doubled. In preaching he seldom used his manuscript, although he very often wrote his sermons. His manner was full of persuasive earnestness, and it was evident that he realized the solemnity of the position of a dying man to dying men. In pastoral visitation he was a model of fidelity, manifesting a peculiar regard for the young of his flock, who were greatly attached to him. His conscientious liberality was also another peculiarity which marked his character. With a heart full of sympathy for the suffering everywhere, it seemed to be to him a pleasure to give for their relief. His missionary spirit led him to forego very tempting offers both in the Eastern States and in California, and carried him far away to the frontier, where, after nobly contending for the faith while he was able, preaching to within a month of his death, literally being spent in the service of the Lord, he laid his armor aside and entered into rest. His body is interred in the Odd Fellows' burying-ground, near Eugene City, Oregon, and his grateful people have erected over his grave a suitable monument." Rev. E. R. GEARY, of Albany, Oregon, Stated Clerk of Oregon Presbytery, sends the following paper adopted by that Presbytery: Eminently social, and with attractive accomplishments, his circle of acquaintances was large, yet social attractions never drew him from the duties of the recitationroom or to neglect the due preparation of his lessons. The social and church prayer-meetings found him a constant attendant, and in the Sabbath-school he was an efficient and devoted teacher. His attainments in both vocal and instrumental music were of a high order, and the choir of the church in which he worshiped, the social home circles, though his melodious voice is now silent and his skillful hand has lost its cunning, will not soon forget the pure and refined emotions they have often awakened. His silvery tones, that fell so sweetly and soothingly on the ear, and rendered him so attractive as a public speaker, will long vibrate in the memory of those who heard the gospel from his lips. "On his way to Oregon a pressing invitation from the church of San Jose, California, was declined, that a more needy field might be supplied. He said in reply to this invitation: 'I am led from a sense of duty to the church in Oregon to decide in its favor, and cannot therefore accept your kind invitation, which I could not refuse were I otherwise situated." His labors in Oregon were characterized by great zeal and conscientious devotion, and had a marked success, though pursued under many disadvantages and bodily infirmities. He often said, he wished, were it God's will, to die with the harness on.' To those who visited him during his last illness, his constant exhortation was that they should be active and earnest Christians. The progress of his disease precluded his public labors for a month before his death. "To the very close of life there was the same cheerfulness, courage and faith so eminently his habitual characteristics. He died in the triumph of the gospel he loved to preach. Our brother's work is done well done and completed early. Through faith and patience he inherits the promises. May the grace of God enable his surviving brethren and the people to whom he ministered to follow him as he followed Christ. "With his bereaved people we would mingle our tears and prayers, and unite our efforts, that one of kindred spirit and aptness to teach may be sent to break to them the bread of life. The cup of consolation could be no fuller to the surviving father and brothers of the deceased."
