Personal:
The Rev. A. S. Broadbent, who died at the residence of his parents, Cherry Gardens, on Friday morning, was received as a candidate for the Methodist ministry in 1910. After a year at a theological institution, he was appointed to the Alberton Church. In the following year he had sole charge of the churches on Kangaroo Island, and at the conference in 1913 he was appointed second minister in the western suburban circuit. Early in the year, however, his health failed, and from the first the opinion of his doctor was not hopeful. He gradually became worse, and after great suffering died on Friday. Mr. Broadbent was a young man, of exceptional promise, having keen intellectual powers and his death is deeply regretted by a large circle of friends.

Our Sainted Dead.
THE LATE REV. ARTHUR STANLEY BROADBENT.
The ten months' bodily suffering and weakness endured by the Rev. A. S. Broadbent terminated on Friday, May 22, with the flight of his spirit to God and the higher service of heaven. His long prostration was marked by entire resignation to the will of God. It proved an inspiration and a benediction to those who visited him in the time of his illness. All fear of death was taken from him; and when the call came to come up higher, he quietly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. His mortal remains were interred in the Cherry Gardens Cemetery on Sunday, May 24. A large number of relatives and friends from the district and city attended the funeral. The services at the home of his parents (Cherry Gardens) and the grave-side were conducted by the President and Secretary of Conference (the Revs. G. Hall and T. G. White) and the ministers of the Clarendon Circuit (the Revs. H. Trewren and A. M. Davis). A very impresseive and sympathetic address was delivered by the President, who also conveyed to the bereaved parents and relatives the sympathy of the Methodist Church. An in memoriam service was conducted in the Cherry Gardens Church on May 31 by the Rev. H. Trewren. There was a large congregation. Some of the favourite hymns of our departed brother were sung. Mr. A. Strange sang one as a solo. The preacher's text was, "Blessed are those servants whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching." He also read papers written by the President and Secretary of Conference and Mr. H. Strange bearing on the life, character, and work of the departed one. Wide-felt sympathy is being expressed for Mr. and Mrs. Broadbent and family. What is proving a balm for the hearts that bleed at the remembrance of the loss of one so dear is the knowledge that there was born unto them and that they trained a child for that glorious inheritance above, and that he is now in safe possession of it and beyond all possible fear or danger of losing it.

ARTHUR STANLEY BROADBENT, May 22, 1914.
John Goodwin, August 14, 1914.

God's call can slighted be by none;
By him whose work is but "begun,
Or him with crown of service won.

The youth who from his task is riven,
To him the soothing word is given-
"The less of earth, the more of heaven."

The veteran, with sword-thrusts scarred,
Leaves those with whom he long has warred;
Relieved with honour from his guard.

The same dear Hand put out each light,
And held them through the transient night,
To wake where wonders met their sight

More fair than pictured are in dreams
Of golden streets and living streams,
Alight with uncreated beams!

At his Lord's bidding, each laid down
The sword that he might take the crown,
And swell his Masters great renown.

In service still supremely blest,
By no severe compulsion pressed,
Where rest is work, and work is rest.
