Excerpt from A Memorial of Leander William Pilcher: President of Peking University and Missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church to China Upon the day of his burial private services in English were held at his residence, when his old associates, Rev. George R. Davis read appropriate selections of Scripture, and Rev. H. H. Lowry, D.D., made a most touching sympathetic praver. Public funeral services then followed in Asbury Church, at which the venerable Dr. Blodget and Dr. Goodrich, of the American Board of Missions (congregationalist), made eulogistic addresses. The audi ence was composed both of Chinese and of Europeans and Americans, missionaries and members of the Diplomatic Ind Imperial Chinese Customs Service. Three promising young men, who had been trained from boyhood by Dr. Pilcher, and were new Christian preachers, also took part in these Chinese public services, and their very presence preached a most eloquent sermon upon the successful mis sionary efforts of their former instructor.
