When Dr. C.D. Hazel fell asleep last week at Newbern, N.C., there passed away a preacher of talent and ability. He was a successful pastor and Presiding Elder. He was a real friend and deeply sympathetic with all of his brethren. In North Carolina, in New Jersey, in New England, he left his impress wherever he labored long. His lat appointment was in Portland, Maine, which he resigned last winter because of failing health. He was Presiding Elder in the New Jersey Conference when we took charge of Bayonne. He stood by us in all of our struggles there to build, and frequently spoke of how soon men seemed to be forgotten who could no longer carry burdens. Fifteen years later he passed away, far from his work, but among those whom he knew and loved.
