' af a good citizen and a kind neighbor.
A mam of strict integrity, his word
j was as good as a bond. He was a
■most   successful   business   man   and
often called on for advice and coun-
' sel.   He held! many positions of trust,
• among which was director of The
Citizens Bank from the time it was
organized in 1902 until the time of
his death. He also was director .if
his school .district many years. His
motto was "that which is worth doing
is worth, doing well." His well-kept
farm was am. example of his thorough
way of doing.
'• Mr. Gordon was an ardent believer
in prohibition and rejoiced when th..*
Volstead act was made part of the
constitution, of the United States.

tag's   heart   by   an   unkind word or	
deed. i USED CARS
His   whole   life   was a  mission   nf
cheerful, helpful, uneomp'aiiiing service. He delighted to ta;ke the part of
servant in his own home, that he
might relieve the wife and daughter
of all cares and anxiety. He wpuld_
work,—even drudge -that he might
give pleasure to his family. He was
a deep.student, and alt'hough modest
and -ntever aspiring to great leader-
s'hip, few men could put the words of
our language together to make so
smooth, a diction, to express so clearly
a. truth, or to convey to u trouble!
heart so full a measure 0f comfort,
He was not an orator by any means,
but his earnest, lender voice, backel
by a pure and upright life, always
reached the .heart. His faith was
crystallized into and became a part of
his life. He never wag, iaifluenced -by
fads and fancies, nor troubled by
winds of doubt and unbelief. He dwelt
close to the throne of God, he knew
the whole message of salvation, and
he preached, and lived an Evangel for
the benefit of all mankind.
If you and I are permitted to get to
heaven, we shall surely find Mr. Hoffman tiiere- He will be very close to
God; but he will not be trying to get
one o& the. highest seaits. He will not
be trying to"blow tlie largest trumpet.
But if any weak ones need to be assisted to a more delightful spit, Mr.
Hoffman will be helping them to secure it. Of Abraham Lincoln it was
said: "He was the gentlest spirit of
our world," Of Mr. Hoffman it may
be said in parfect truth: "He was the
gentlest spirit we have known."
