The Death of Rev. William Hudson, A.M.

Death is a great reminder, albeit a most melancholy one. The other day there fell into our hands a postal card bearing the address, Martha, Okla., and the signature of Rev. W. A. McAnally. It brought the following message: "This notice is to inform you that Father William Hudson, of Greer Presbytery, died November 4. He was well known over Texas an an educator and preacher." Instantly memory was busy. It was nineteen years ago, lacking just two months, and we were a schoolboy again on the rocky summit of the dear old Tehuacana Hills. It was our first breath of college life, and Professor William Hudson, quaint, awe-inspiring old sage that he was, presided in the department of natural science, doing incidentally the several other things which a teacher in a small college must needs undertake. We remember that he was something of an artist, as well as a scientist; a penman, as well as a philosopher. Withal he impressed us with the width and depth and variety of his learning. We enjoyed his humor while we shrank from his austerity. He was the typical college professor of the storybook, profound in learning, enthusiastic in teaching, lofty in every thought and ideal, and beautiful and consecrated in his unique private life, an intellectual giant, although a somewhat impractical genius. He was the old man eloquent in those early eighties of Trinity University. A favorite theme in the classroom immediately transformed the teacher into the orator, and, spellbound, we listened, and wondered, and wished for a gift like that. Nor did we withhold the appreciative meed of praise, and to this sadly reminiscent hour we can see the grateful sparkle of the eyes then grown old, and now closed to the imperfect scenes of earth to open aglow with ecstasy over the perfect visions of the Holy City. We have not seen him since 1883, and now he is dead. Good-by? No, no! God be with us, the living, dear old professor, until a little later He allows us to be with both Him and three! Mayhap one of the blessings of Heaven will be the blessings of Heaven will be the privilege of again sitting as learners at the feet of our devout college professors, asking, not the old questions, but the new and better ones, about what Heaven has proven to be to these men who, through a long life on earth, were humbly bowing in submission to God's will, and who therefore lived nobly. If the earth-life, is a preparatory school for yonder University of the Skies, who will be so fit to teach in that University as those who were our Christian instructors here?
