The death of his son, George Farquhar Green, at Sewanee College, Tennessee, at the interesting and promising age of 18, was a heavy blow to fall upon him, for he was not only very fond of him, but proud of his conduct and abilities, which presented to his father's and to the eyes of all, a prospect for great usefulness and capability in manhood. But God took him in the flower of his youth, and many wept his early death. Faith aids us in looking beyond this vale of tears, and leads us to hope that the loving father and the affectionate son are inheriting the reward of the blessed.
