REV. WM. GOODELL was born in Chenango County, N. Y., Oct. 25th,
1792. In his earlier years he acquired a practical knowledge of
business affairs, but it was as a thinker, writer and reformer
that he has made his mark in the world. He will be remembered
as an editor and author, devoted earnestly and successfully to
promoting reform in many directions, but especially in relation to
intemperance and slavery. Mr. Goodell was present at the Convention
in Albany, N. Y., at which this Association was formed, and took
a prominent and effective part in its proceedings, preparing and
reporting the elaborate address to the Christian public, which
was adopted and sent forth as embodying the views on which the
Convention based the new organization. From that time to the close
of his life, his sympathy for our work was constant and earnest.
REV. J. S. GREEN died at his home in Makawao, Sandwich Islands,
Jan. 5th, 1878, in the 82d year of his age. Mr. Green went out
as a missionary to the Sandwich Islands in 1828, in company
with Andrews, Gulick and others, and shared in effecting the
wonderful transformation in those Islands. In 1842 Mr. Green
resigned his connection with the American Board, and from that
time until his death was a pastor, depending for his support upon
his own labor and the contributions of his people. His strong
anti-slavery sympathies led him to seek a connection, yet without
salary, with the Union Missionary Society and subsequently with
this Association, when that Society was merged into it. His name
appeared for years in our list of foreign missionaries, and his
reports were full and interesting. His ready pen, not satisfied
with mere reports, was prolific in contributions on missionary
subjects, and earnest in its denunciations of the evils of slavery
in his native land. He was a man of deep and earnest piety, and his
memory will be cherished in the warm regard of those who knew his
worth and his useful career.
DEATH OF TEACHERS.
The painful intelligence has reached us of the death, on February
17th, of typhoid fever, after a four weeks’ illness, of Mr.
MARMADUKE C. KIMBER, of Germantown, Pa., aged nearly twenty-four
years. The son of one of the valued friends and trustees of Hampton
Institute, Mr. Kimber, when just out of college in 1872, gave his
services to the school for two years as a volunteer teacher. Since
then he has been professor in a Western college, and after a year
of travel in Europe, he took charge of the Friends’ Academy in
Germantown, which position he held at the time of his death. He is
remembered with sincerest esteem by the officers of the school and
teachers who were associated with him at Hampton, and the students
who were under his instruction.—_Southern Workman._
