humanity.

"During nine years that I lived in his household, my respect and
affection for him continually increased. Never have I seen a man
who so completely fulfilled the Scripture injunction, to forgive an
erring brother 'not only seven times, but seventy times seven.' I
have witnessed relapse after relapse into vice, under circumstances
which seemed like the most heartless ingratitude to him; but he
joyfully hailed the first symptom of repentance, and was always
ready to grant a new probation.

"Farewell, thou brave and kind old Friend! The prayers of ransomed
ones ascended to Heaven for thee, and a glorious company have
welcomed thee to the Eternal City."

On a plain block of granite at Greenwood Cemetery, is inscribed:

ISAAC T. HOPPER,

BORN, DECEMBER 3D, 1771,

ENDED HIS PILGRIMAGE, MAY 7TH, 1852.

"Thou henceforth shalt have a good man's calm,
A great man's happiness; thy zeal shall find
Repose at length, firm Friend of human kind."
