After  removal  was  voted  on,  and  thought  to  be  triumphantly  carried,
I  went  to  the  bedside  of  Dr.  Kendrick.  "  Well,  Brother  Eaton,
what  do  you  think  of  this?"  "What  do  you  think  of  it.  Brother
Kendrick  ?  I  want  to  hear  your  opinion."  He  replied  :  "  It  is  aU
dark  ;  I  cannot  see  the  hand  of  God  in  it."  "  Nor  I,"  I  said ;  "  but
what  can  be  done  ?  Would  it  be  worth  while  to  call  a  convention
of  the  friends  of  this  location  ?"  He  answered,  with  his  eyes  bright-
ening, "  I  think  it  would,  and  circulars  to  that  effect  should  be  issued
immediately."  I  soon  rose  to  leave.  "  Stop,  Brother  Eaton,  there
is  no  time  to  be  lost.  Prepare  the  circular  at  once."  I  had  to  leave
for  a  distant  part  of  the  State  the  next  morning,  but  I  replied,  "  I
shall  return  in  a  few  days.  In  the  mean  time,  let  us  note  what  it
would  be  proper  to  say  in  this  circular,  and  compare  notes  on  my
return,  and  send  out  the  call  at  once."  "  Very  well,  I  will  do  my
part."  It  was  the  last  time  my  eyes  rested  upon  that  colossal  man,
great, — superlatively  great  in  all  his  attributes  of  mind  and  soul.
