Excerpt from The Annual Monitor for 1906: Or Obituary of the Members of the Society of Friends in Great Britain and Ireland, for the Year 1905 The uncertainty of life, and to furnish by ex amples an incentive to Christian living. Now it aims at giving a complete Obituary of Friends in Great Britain and Ireland and a fuller supply Of memoirs. The Objection has sometimes been made that some of these notices are partial and one-sided. It could scarcely be otherwise when it is remembered that in almost all cases, none but near connections of the deceased are capable of drawing them up. And it is the brighter aspects of Christian lives that deserve to be held up as examples that are worth the endeavour to follow, and not their mistakes and failings. Some very bright examples are pourtrayed in our pages this year. May the perusal raise in many hearts a desire to imitate these in a like faithful devotedness to the same.
