During the Hamilton meeting in 1910 Mr. Black confessed his faith in Christ and has followed closely the teachings of his Master since. Mr. Black as stated in the service Saturday, came to church many times when others would have thought themselves too sick to even sit up. He loved his Master and loved to be in his place of worship. While his years of Christian experience were short in comparison to the years he lived, he proved himself a devout Christian to his fellowmen during this short period. He will be greatly missed at church as well as on the streets of Kingman.
