Excerpt from Memoir of Timothy Gilbert On the first Sabbath of July, 1865, while the Union Temple Church were celebrating the Lord's Supper, Deacon Timothy Gilbert, being absent for the first time, selected from Philippians, second chapter, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth verses inclusive, this message, which he asked his pastor to carry to them as a humble expression of his desire concerning, them: Do all without murmurings and disputings, that ye may be blameless and simple, children Of God, unreproachable in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as do the heavenly lights in the world, holding forth the word of life for a ground of glorying to me at the day Of Christ that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. The exhortation, Do all without murmurings and disputings, expressed in words the principle that ruled his life. Little did'i know of the trials that bent his frame and that ploughed deep furrows in his heart. He was a silent sufferer. To the scenes through which he had passed, and the labors he had performed, he seldom made reference. Now that he has gone, and that I have turned over the pages of his memora'nda, I see that his desire to be simple, unreproachable in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, and to shine as do the heavenly lights in the World, his anxiety to hold forth the word of life as a round Of glorying, rather than to talk of what he had purposed and achieved, made him the quiet and unpretentious man, who lived and wrought for God, and passed on to his reward.
