FROST (By the Courier-News Staff) When a community loses a prom inent man of sterling worth, in the I fullness of years, as he goes to his reward after a successful career, there is a deep regret among tbose those i yho realize that they are to see him no more, but also a sense of satisfac tion in the example he has left behind.

There is a satisfaction in contemplation of his success when he has carved out that success by himself, using intellectual forces and just methods as his implements, and besides being a good citizen, he has left a good impression upon the community by his works and example. Such a man was George Henry Frost, civil engineer, publisher of a rrt eneineerine paper, traveller aitia and Christian. Pernaps the satis-, faction is due to the feeling that 14 a man can so minis, unu uu a i be able to leave, a definite impress on the thought ana worK or me i on iue uiuueui. a work of the -WUriU eujuj in seasons of relaxation, place his work in good, but younger hands, as his years advance, and round out his life honorably, cleanly and with dignity. It makes men realize how erroneous It is to suppose for a moment that their Maker could be so granting in economy as to permit useful lives to become altogether extinguished with the end of their earthly career, for such lives are much more than an argument of a future.

The mind of George H. Frost took definite form in the rebuilt city of Chicago, and in his public improvements of Plainfleld; he left these thoughts put Into visible ervice in both cities. The thought George II. Frost as he set it down in the great paper that was read and used by engineers in this coun try and in Europe has aided in moulding the thoughts of hundreds' of men who are today the more capable because Mr. Frost wrote out his mind in the Engineering News.

J. 'Phone No.

Metuchen 179 was a deeply religioua man. His belief was true and clear and deeply intellectual. He was not satisfied to take things for granted, but was always seeking further light. It was so in his business and in hia life generally. He -delighted to listen to men of profound religious thought and he carefully absorbed all that was largest in their addresses.

He was a man of broad, charity and liberal generosity, although few knew of most of his many generous acts, because they were done in a quiet manner, intended to be known only to those whom they benefitted. He was a thorough, methodical, painstaking man, who did- not believe a thing was well done until it was done the best. He had the capacity for ithe largest, as well as the smallest 'business details, but in this particu- jlar he was as reserved as he was in his charitable disposition, so that the large things he did were known from their merits and by common report rather than by what he said of his achievements. To those who knew him well, he was a fund of valuable information, ready to impart to others any pleasure they might get from his observations In the great world of business life and from his extensive travels. In the years of his retirement from business life he found opportunity and remarkable health for one of his age, to enjoy a well-earned leisure which he en- joyeu unseinsuiy, iiol uummuiui ui others less fortunate, who found heari him tell of the remote parts cf the world, which they never would have the chance to visit.

To his family he has left a heritage of which they may be justly In thus discoursing upon Mr. Frost, it may be pertinent 'to say that this tribute is paid to his memory as a composite expression of appreciation, by the staff of the Courier-News, each of whom he knew personally, and who were impressed by the example of his life. As Mr. Frost went in and out among us, in his visits to the Courier-News office, with a word of encouragement to this one and that one, and with a Uittle chat upon matters which came to his mind, it was with a pleasure that each one listened and learned from one whose long experience in the active life he had led made his advice and suggestions valuable, as ,..,.11 i.Mo);no, TTVoat a self-made man. and his successful career has been an encouraging example to us of a man who made good use of his talents in a land where one must carve out his own destiny; in a land rich in opportun ity, and where the invitation to effort is summed up in the words: "There's the marble, there's the chisel; Take it, work it to thy will.

Thou alone must shape thy future; Heaven send thee strength and skill." TOIE FOR LOYALISTS TO SPKAK No man knows what the morrow may bring forth in our international relations.
