ALLISON, When, at the summons of the Great Master, the spirit of Port- er Allison departed this life and entered into the great unknown, there to receive the rewards of a life well lived and a labor well done, those who knew him marked the passing of a great man, E ve Great, not in fame, the fickle and __ illusive _will-o-the-wisp whose laurels often carelessly bestowed, fade with the passing of the public mind; not in world- ly wealth and the material things of life, nor in temporal power, such things as these to him were dross. But great he was in manhood, in purity of mind and heart and the fulfill- ‘nent of a noble ambition. An humble’ worker in vineyards_he courted not idle plaudits:of the multitude, but upon the full, true comple- tion of each daily task his mind and time were bent with ever eagerness to pause to aid some life’s worthy brother, and many were; his charities, but™such was the modesty of his great heart that tew upon whom his charity was bestowed know to this day their benefactor. All his talents, and they were many, he devoted to his feliow Than and a score of the best years of his life were dedicated to that greatest of all profess- ions, the upbuilding of the mind and character of the. youth of this land. ; Clean of mind, he was honor- able, upright, faithful and true. He has fulfilled his mission in life and has left stamped upon the character ‘of those with whom he had to do, something of his cherished high ideals. ‘The world is better -for his hav- ing lived. No towering shaft of granite or marble will kiss the skies above the last “resting place of Porter Allison; nor . will — his name_ be graven in blazing Jetters upon the pages of history, but a greater, more enduring mon- ument will mark his name, for upon the character of the young- er generation of this country his ideals and .ambitions have . heen indelibly stamped and neither elements nor ‘time can efface from the hearts of his friends the golden character of Porter Allison. ——— U. 8.
