THE LATE REV. JAMES STOYEL.
The sudden death of the Rev James Stoyel has cast a gloom over the Bible Christian con-   nexion, and much sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Stoyel and family. The large number of
    people who attended the funeral on Sunday   afternoon was an indication of the respect in which the deceased was held. A short service was held in the house of the late Mr. Stoyel, Fullarton road, Fullarton, before the funeral procession, which numbered 40 vehicles, started for the Mitcham Cemetery. There was a large crowd around the grave and the service was conducted by the Rev. E. Gratton and the Rev. W. T. Penrose (pre   sident of the Bible Christian Conference) The Rev. T. Hillman offered prayer, a hymn was sung "Cbme let us join our friends above," after which the Rev. Mr. Gratton gave a short address. He said that he had held sweet counsel with the late Mr Stoyel, and the day befpre their brother died they were talking   together on church and mission work.   He did not expect to hear of his quick summons by death on the following day. She last words of Mr Stoyel addressed to him were, "Well, what work will you give me to do " and he replied, " I cannot give you   much." Mr. Stoyel responded, "If I am able   to do more than I have I shall be glad " The next time he saw Mr Stoyel he was a corpse.   The deceased minister was willing to continue in the work of his Master, and he would say, in the words of Tennyson, "No doubt that for one so true there must be other work to do " God took him away and he ceased to work amongst us, and to him sudden death was sudden glory He hoped that the sudden death of Mr. Stoyel would cause others to prepare for the great event, which might be nearer to many present than they thought. It was not only solemn to die, but it was solemn to live. He trusted that wifh God as their helper they would live so as to be prepared to die if death called them suddenly away. Then they should not forget the bereaved, and should comfort those who mourned. The relatives present were Mrs Stoyel (wife) Messrs. J. S. Stoyel, J.M. Stoyel, W.   G. Stoyel, A. M. Stoyel, and Master O. G.   Stoyel ( sons) Miss Stoyel (daughter), Mr. Sherwood ( son in law), Mrs J. S. Stoyel and Mrs. J. M. Stoyel (daughters in law), Mrs. H. Matthews (sister in law), Messrs. A.
