Death of William Rainey Harper

By Editor

Among the deaths of noted men the past week we record that of William Rainey Harper, president of Chicago University. He died January 10, of cancer, which the greatest experts had no power to cure. He has done much to stimulate Bible study, tho doubtless tinctured more or less with Higher Criticism. His power for work was marvellous, and he had the facility of tying his acquaintances and students to him with strong devotion. His power over John D. Rockefeller was wonderful. It is reported that the millionaire gave what he did almost solely because of the personal influence of President Harper. His last words were, “God always helps.”
