Description:Excerpt from An Address Memorial of Alexander H. Vinton, D. D., Edward A. Washburn, D. D., Samuel Osgood, D. D., And William Rudder, D. D: Given at the Seventh Church Congress, Providence, R. I., Oct. 25th, 1881 One gentle, cultured, and yet brave soul out of the N orth-west, affectionately recalled as athoughtful and graceful writer at the First Annual Congress, the Rev. Edward C. Porter, but a year or more after ward, fulfilling the pale prophecy of his countenance, went to his rest in the peace of Jesus. Two of the vice-presidents, ex oficio, among the Bishops, the venerable and honored Whittingham, manly and courteous in his refusal to serve, and Odenheimer, faithful in deep sorrows, and by reason of grievous illness unable to be with the Con gress at any time in more than sympathy - these godly and well learned men had ceased from their labors. Since the date of the Sixth Annual Meeting, three others Of the Bishops - Atkinson, J. P. B. Wilmer, and Kerfoot - for whose good examples in life and office we give God thanks, have joined the invisible host of God's elect. All these died in faith. The uttered and recorded minute of their worth and work is not the least among duties, at once sad and grateful, devolving upon the Secretary of the Congress. Some one has said that pleasure and sorrow are two sisters who never live far apart. My own use of the thought is in somewhat different connection from that of its author. Coupling it to what I said in the outset, I can honestly add that, but for a confessed self ishness in reference to my own share in consecrated memories, I must have kept closely to the function of your official remembrancer. Of the life and character of men already mentioned, I can say, that while my words have been touches rather than portraitures, my heart has gone with my words. But today, and in a special way, those Of us who have taken counsel in the affairs Of the Congress come to this service of sweet remembrance in the bonds Of a common sorrow. In the Committee-room, and at the several Sessions of the Congress, have any of us failed to feel. How, in the furtherance of high aims.
