OLASS OF 1882.
Henry Nason Kinney.
Son of James Adams Kinney and Pamelia Ann Nason; born in Chicago, Ill., January 30, 1856; his father dying when he was two years old, the family removed to Somersworth, N. H., and in 1870 to Boston; fitted for college at Boston Latin School; graduated at Harvard College, 1879, and took the full course in this Seminary, 1879-82. He was licensed to preach by the Woburn Association, May 17, 1881, and was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church at Fergus Falls, Minn., October 19, 1882, Rev. Robert G. Hutch- ins, D. D. (Class of 1864), preaching the sermon. He remained there until 1884, and was then successively pastor of the First Church, Winsted, Ct., 1884-93; of the Good Will Church, Syracuse, N. Y., 1893-97; and of the Mayflower Church, Indianapolis, Ind., from the last day of 1897 to the follow- ing March. Seeking restoration of his failing health in a change of climate, he spent a year in Las Vegas, N. M., and Phoenix, Arizona, going in February, 1899, to Claremont, Cal., where he was the beloved pastor of the Pomona College Church until his death.
Mr. Kinney wrote much and well for the daily and weekly press, including the Golden Rule, Sabbath School Times, and Congregationalist. He composed hymns at various times for anniversaries and other special occasions in his churches. The Class Hymn, written by him for the Seminary Commencement at Andover, June 15, 1882, was sung at his funeral in the college church at Claremont ; one of the stanzas is quoted :
Thine arm is strong, though ours be weak ; Thou speakest, though we cannot speak ; Thy touch is peace, though ours be pain ; We fail : thy purposes remain.
Rev. Charles F. Carter, of Lexington, Mass , a Seminary classmate and intimate friend, writes : " It was my privilege to see Mr. Kinney last summer, when he came on from the West to visit his mother during what proved to be her last illness. He understood how serious his own condition was, faced it calmly and bravely, and went back to his work hopefully and cheerfully, well aware that it might not continue long. Hence his death is not a surprise to those of us who had seen him recently, yet is none the less sorrowful and im- pressive. A useful life has closed in the midst of the years, and a cheery com- panion gone. Those who knew him best will want to pay a tribute to the resolute purpose with which he sought to develop and train his own spiritual nature to its full measure of usefulness. If there were natural traits that tended to interfere with his serviceableness as a minister of Christ, he was urgent that they should be purged away, and he exhibited a high faith in the transforming power of the Spirit of Christ. His consecration to the ministry which he had
435
chosen for his life work was specially apparent in his willingness to undertake the difficult and often uncongenial task. When he went out from the Seminary and from the associations of his Eastern home to begin work on the frontier, it was only from a strong conviction of duty. The difficulties of that first settlement were not few, but he met them courageously. In his more recent fields of labor, he has been enterprising and resourceful, showing special sym- pathy with the Christian activities of the young people under his charge, and cordially entering into their life.
" As his classmates think back to the Seminary days, there will inevitably come the remembrance of Kinney's quick insight into the humorous aspect of any situation, and his wit in setting it forth. To the company that gathered around the board at the 'old Brick House,' his spicy recountals will recur with their old-time flavor, and the cheer of his spirit will be an abiding memory. So truly characteristic was this sense of humor, that we cannot think of him with gloomy thoughts. Rather shall we cherish the memory of one who was winning a cheerful victory, and who is still moving on in spiritual conquest."
Rev. Joseph H. Chandler, of Fond du Lac, Wis., another classmate, writes : " I was much touched by the news of Kinney's death. We began our ministry together in Minnesota. He did fine service in his first parish there, although his stay was not long. My last word from him was in October, 1898, just after the outbreak in the Chippewa Reservation. I was a witness of the battle at Sugar Point, in which Major Wilkenson was killed; my boat was fired upon, the man who stood next to me seriously wounded, and later we had some difficulty in making our escape. In congratulating me on my good fortune he spoke tenderly of Major Wilkenson. To the influence of that man, when stationed at Detroit in garrison duty in connection with certain cot- tage prayer meetings, he traced the occasion of his conversion. The soldier put his arm around the young boy, as they knelt in prayer, and said, 'Tonight I want you to give your heart to Christ.'"
Mr. Kinney was married, June 22, 1882, to Selina Elizabeth McIntosh, of Springfield, Mass., daughter of Andrew Jackson McIntosh and Mary A. Soggs. She survives him, with two daughters, both of whom are in the preparatory department of Pomona College, and one of whom will enter Wellesley College the present year.
Mr. Kinney died of peritonitis, following tuberculosis of the kidneys and appendicitis, at Claremont, Cal., May 2, 1900, aged forty-four years, three · months, and two days.
CLASS OF 1894.
John Roberts Horne, Jr.
Son of John Roberts Horne and Sarah Wheeler; born in Berlin, N. H., September 6, 1866; fitted for college at the Berlin High School ; graduated at Bowdoin College, 1891 ; took the full course in this Seminary, graduating in 1894. He was licensed to preach by the Andover Association, meeting with Rev. F. A. Wilson, Andover, June 5, 1894, and was ordained pastor at Bartlett, N. H., January 22, 1895, the sermon being preached by Prof. W. H. Ryder, D. D., of the Seminary. The church was organized on the same day, Mr. Horne having already labored there for several months. He continued
436
there until compelled by failing health, in the spring of 1899, to relinquish his work.
Rev. Percival F. Marston, of Lancaster, N. H., a Seminary classmate, sends the following tribute: "In college, Mr. Horne took a high place both as an athlete and a scholar, being a member of the college boat crew and of the football team, and also taking high rank in his class. But the most characteristic thing about the man was his simple, reasonable faith in God. His Christianity from the first was, like everything else that he did, manly, robust, vital, and full of common sense. He thoroughly enjoyed all that was good in the world, but he was deeply impressed with the immanence of God in all life. He often declared that a man's real joy must come from within. The 'inner light'- that was his creed. He was simple as a Quaker in his religion. In the college Y. M. C. A. he had a strangely strong influence with men usually indifferent to spiritual truths. His character was genuine and beautifully transparent. His choice of the ministry was in perfect harmony with his conception of life. He believed in two great truths-that a man should make the most of himself, physically, mentally, morally; and that the cross of Christ is the central fact in the universe. 'Make the most of yourself for Christ's sake'-this was his life-motto. While in the Seminary, he did missionary work in the Massachusetts Reformatory at Concord, calling the inmates there 'my boys'-knowing that out of such material men could be made. One day, Secretary Hillman of the New Hampshire Home Missionary Society came to Andover for a man who could live and preach Christ in a lumbering town where intemperance and licentiousness had become rampant. All agreed that John R. Horne, Jr., was the man. He went, met what seemed impossibilities, and conquered them. He enlisted the sympathy and help of the better class of citizens in the organization of a strong opposition to law- lessness and intemperance. But in the war he waged against the liquor power, he often faced the lawyers alone, argued his case, and won it. He often dealt with men of low motive, but he himself was actuated by the highest purpose. He never met evil on its own ground, but stood on his own high plane, his life standing foursquare to the sunlight of righteousness and truth.
" Bartlett is a very different place from what it was six years ago, and this is largely owing to the work of Mr. Horne and his church. Two years after the organization of his church, twenty were added to it, men and women led to Christ by this man who had gone in and out before them as the humble servant of God and the faithful friend of man. About the same time, a new church edifice, built by his own efforts, was dedicated almost entirely free of debt ; it will stand as his nionument - he needs no other. He had all too little help, and his work was great. The strong man, who had more than once taken his ax on his shoulder and gone into the woods to chop the winter's supply of wood for his church, gave way. Laid low by illness, he partially recovered and tried to go on with his work, but could not. Then came the long waiting till he entered into the larger rest. His piety, gentleness, and zeal live on in the hearts of those. he loved so well and served so faithfully, and we hear a voice saying, ' Well done; in helping these my brethren, thou hast found the Christ himself.'"'
Mr. Horne died of melancholia, following grip and nervous prostration, at Northboro, Mass., September 30, 1899, aged thirty-three years, and twenty- four days.

SUMMARY.
Forty-one of our Alumni have died during the past year. Their average age was seventy-two years, ten months, and twenty-one days .* Fifteen of the number were between seventy and eighty, eight between eighty and ninety, and three between ninety and one hundred. Mr. Partridge, of the Class of 1834, the oldest alumnus of the Seminary, besides purchasing to himself a good degree in the office of a deacon which he had used so well for over forty years, had attained to the great age of ninety-five and one-half years.
Twenty-five were full graduates, twelve took only a partial course here, and four attended lectures as resident licentiates. All of these men had received a collegiate education save one, and his long course of private reading and study made him one of the ablest and most learned of the whole number. The col- lege representation was as follows: Dartmouth, six; Amherst, Bowdoin, and Harvard, four each; Middlebury, Union, the University of Vermont, and Yale, three each; Olivet and Williams, two each; Brown, Hamilton, Oberlin, the University of New York, Wesleyan University, and Oneida Institute, one each.
Characterization of these men is needless. The names and lives of most are familiar. The majority, as usual, were Congregationalists, but a few served respectively in the Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, Free Baptist, Dutch Reformed, and Unitarian churches, while one-the son of the pastor of the Old South Church a hundred years ago- was a devout Catholic layman. Whether in the pastorate or in other branches of public service, all had labored long and usefully; Kinney and Horne, the only men under fifty years, worked while they lived, with marked energy and zeal. In all the long list, which included such men as Dr. Samuel Harris, Dr. Furber, Dr. Walker, Pro- fessor Barbour, and Rev. E. G. Porter, none will be more widely and sincerely missed and mourned by the Alumni than Professor John Wesley Churchill - teacher, preacher, friend.
This issue closes the second printed series of necrologies. The sketches of our Alumni in this decade, 1890-1900, number four hundred and five, besides six others who served the Seminary as Trustees or Visitors. The average age of these four hundred and five men was seventy-two years, one month, and nineteen days. The average age of the three hundred and seventy-four men reported in the first series, 1880-90, by Secretary Henry A. Hazen, was seventy years, eleven months, and twenty-six days ; for all of both decades, seventy-one years, six months, and twenty-two days. Alphabetical indexes of both series are added, as also a supplementary list of deaths occurring since the publica- tion of the last General Catalogue, but not previously reported, and the names of the surviving Alumni of sixty years ago, still headed by Professor Park.
* The names reported at the close change the number to forty-three, and the average age to seventy-three years, six months, and twenty days.

OLASS OF 1831.
Edwards Amasa Park, D.D., LL.D.
[As the last pages of this Necrology were going to press, closing with a reference to Professor Park as still heading the roll of the living Alumni, he joined the company of them that live forevermore. The time permits only a hasty and imperfect outline of the long and honored life, now closed on earth.]
Son of Rev. Calvin Park, D. D. (professor of Moral Philosophy and Meta- physics in Brown University) and Abigail Ware (a descendant of Rev. Samuel Man, the first minister of Wrentham); born in Providence, R. I., December 29, 1808; began the study of Latin, when ten years old, in the public schools of Providence, and finished his preparation for college in Day's Academy at Wrentham. He entered Brown University in 1822, before he was fourteen years old, and graduated in 1826. During his college vacations he taught district schools in Attleboro (when sixteen years old), Raynham, and Sharon, and after his graduation was principal (in 1827) of the Classical School of Braintree and Weymouth Landing. The following year he studied theology with his father, then pastor in Stoughton, entered this Seminary in 1828, was
441
licensed to preach by the Norfolk Association, meeting with Rev. Calvin Hitch- cock (Class of 1814) at Randolph, April 26, 1831, and graduated September 28, 1831, the subject of his Commencement address being, "Our Views of a Theory should be Influenced by Right Feeling." He remained in Andover a part of the following year as Abbot Resident, but on December 21, 1831, was ordained at Braintree, Mass., as colleague pastor with Rev. Dr. Richard Salter Storrs, Sen. (Class of 1810), the sermon being preached by his father, and the charge given him by Dr. Storrs. Serious trouble with his eyes compelled him to close his service there after two years, and he spent the following year in the interest of his health, attending a course of medical lectures in New York City, and taking a leisurely tour by carriage to Niagara Falls. In 1834 he was elected professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy at Amherst College, and continued there until called to this Seminary in 1836. At Andover he has since remained, as Bartlet professor of Sacred Rhetoric, 1836-47, as Abbot professor of Chris- tian Theology, 1847-81, and as professor emeritus afterward until his death.
Harvard University conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1844, and that of Doctor of Laws at its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary ir. 1886. He was a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, and of the Victoria Institute of England, a Fellow of Brown University from 1863, one of the original trustees of Smith College appointed by the founder, a trustee of Abbot Academy from 1851 and president of the Board from 1859, and corporate member of the American Board from 1863.
Among the publications written or edited by Professor Park were : Selec- tions from German Literature (in connection with Prof. B. B. Edwards), 1839; Memoir of Rev. William Bradford Homer (his pupil in the Class of 1840), 1842; Preacher and Pastor, 1845; Memoir and Writings of Prof. B. B. Edwards, 1853; Memoir of the Life and Character of Dr. Samuel Hopkins, 1854; Dis- courses and Treatises on the Atonement, with Introductory Essay, 1859; Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book (in connection with Professor Phelps and Lowell Mason), 1859; Hymns and Choirs (in connection with Professor Phelps and Dr. Furber), 1860; Memoir of Dr. Nathanael Emmons, 1861; Discourses on some theological doctrines as related to religious character, 1885. The Dudleian Lecture at Cambridge on the Intellectual and Moral Influence of Romanism, 1845, his Discourse before the Massachusetts Convention of Congregational Ministers, on The Theology of the Intellect and of the Feelings, in the Brattle Street Meeting House, 1850, and his election sermon on The Indebtedness of the State to the Clergy, 1851, excited special attention, the "Convention sermon " leading to a notable discussion with Dr. Hodge of Princeton. Among his commemorative discourses and essays are those upon Rev. Charles B. Storrs, 1833 ; Prof. Moses Stuart, 1852; Dr. Joseph S. Clark, 1861; Dr. Samuel H. Taylor, 1871; Dr. Richard S. Storrs, Sen., 1874; Pres. Leonard Woods, 1880; Dr. William G. Schauffler, 1887. He was editor of the Bibliotheca Sacra for forty years, 1844-84, and contributed to that and other reviews, as also to various encyclo- pedias and dictionaries, many and important articles. He had occupied much time, since his retirement from the professorship, in writing a life of Jonathan Edwards, which he left unfinished.
Professor Park married, September 21, 1836, Anna Maria Edwards, of Hunter, N. Y., daughter of Col. William Edwards and Rebecca Tappan, and
442
the great-granddaughter of Jonathan Edwards. She died October 7, 1893. Their children, besides a daughter who died in infancy, are Rev. William Edwards Park, D. D. (Class of 1867), of Gloversville, N. Y., and Miss Agnes Park, who has devotedly cared for her father in his declining years.
He died of old age, June 4, 1900, aged ninety-one years, five months, and six days.
The former pupils of Professor Park, living in remote parts of the country and in other countries, will be interested to know that he died in the same plain house on Andover Hill which had been his home for sixty-four years, where they so often saw him, where so many distinguished men from this land and foreign lands have been entertained, where the golden wedding was celebrated in 1886 and his ninetieth birthday in 1898. His strength had been steadily lessening for several weeks, the sudden death of his neighbor and long-time friend, Professor Churchill, affecting him sensibly. Within a short time, by the force of his indomitable will, he has walked, though feebly, on his lawn or in his garden, and almost to the last continued to hear reading and dictate correspondence, keeping up a lively interest in the affairs of the day. He dic- tated a letter on the day before his death, and a few hours before, as he at- tempted to rise, quoted from Milton to his nurse, "To be weak is miserable." The end was painless and peaceful. He will be buried from the Seminary Chapel, on June 8, in the well-known cemetery, near the graves of his teachers and associates of two generations - Porter, Woods, Stuart, Edwards, Taylor, Barrows, Phelps, Stowe, Gulliver, and Churchill. .
