During the sweep of years the names of men, illustrious because of their exploits as statesmen, soldiers, scientists or leaders in reforms or religion have appeared on the pages of history while others, equally worthy and effective in the movements and uplift of nations, have remained unknown and some have died "unwepped and unsung."Were the subject of this brief sketch a veteran soldier of some great national army with scars of wounds on his person received on battle fields, or were he an orator who had stood at the crisis of some national upheavel and calmed the minds and hearts of men that were as a disturbed sea, historians would eagerly seek the facts of his life, while his biography would be gladly received by editors of daily papers and magazines for immediate publication. The man whose life we honor, and work we commemorate, sought no upper seat, desired no place of prominence. Thirty-four years have passed since he chose the, then far off West, where he might spend his days among the Indian tribes of the Southwest, and in an humble way give his life in uplifting these natives of America into the lofty relm of Christian manhood and womanhood.His name, therefore, has not been emblazoned on the sky of the world's popularity. The battles he has fought have been far from the view of civilized man, while the implements of his warfare have not been carnal but spiritual.
