DR ARTHUR ANDERSON MARTIN
' — AN APPRECIATION. . (Contributed.) As ono who was privileged to know Dr. A. A. Martin privately as well as professionally, I can only say that ono could not 'know a grander or nobler nature. Professionally ho was widely known from one end of New Zealand to the other, and loved by all who know him. Many a poor soul has been heilped to face the final call bravely by j his.tact and comforting words. No ono was ever - turned away from liis skill alid caro beeauso his or her purse was small. . A life was always to him something to do his best for. Ho was a man who talked little about what he did, but ono's eyes would be very blind indeed if they were not opened) to the numerous kindly actions of the young and skilful doctor.. And to-day. there pro many sad hearts among the poor of the district in which ho practised 'his profession, and where he was beloved by all classes. His great and! noble work in Prance requires no need of montion. It was his lovo for his fellow men that made him again follow them into danger, willing to risk his life in' order to help the brave, suffering, and wounded soldiers, whom ho loved And now he has gono to rest among 'the many thousands of bravo souls who in silence await their great audi grand reward. Ono cannot close without mentioning his lovo for little children, which was almost pathetic in its tenderness, and ho well might be called the Pied Pipor of the - Ohild ■World. . Dr. Martin was bom in New Zealand, and is survived by his father and mother. Ho also leaves live brothers. —Mr. John T. Martin, manager and director of Wright, Stephenson, and Co., Ltd.; Mr. Elias 'Martin, of Auckland, a promising young' lawyer; Mr. Matthew Martin, who is farming in tho Waikato; and two younger brothers, who are at the front, ono of them having' been severely wounded in August last year. His sister, Miss Martin, is well 'known in Wellington and Ghristcliurch in the nursing profo3sion. He married ton years ago Miss Constance Margaret Harloy, an English lady, wllo quickly won the affection and esteem of all who made her acquaintance. Great sympathy is felt for her m ber very sad loss. Mrs. Martin is <it picsent in England, where she recently wont to bo near her husband. And now farewell to a great and noble soul. May his many good deeds prove a help and a,lesson to others.
