THE LATE MR C. S. JACOB.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, — The somewhat touching death notice in your columns of Tuesday last intimating the decease of Mr C. S. Jacob, of this city, impels me to crave a few lines of your space for the utterance of a thought or two on the subject. The writer was acquainted with Mr Jacob since his arrival in the colony, having been a fellow passenger with him from the old land. Unobtrusively upright and truthful in character, while conscientiously straightforward in his business dealings, he conveyed the impression of a sterling amiability, in marked contrast to the opinions now and again heard concerning the body to which the deceased gentleman belonged. "A Nathaniel in whom was no guile" would describe him well; indeed, one could not help feeling he was one of the class of exceptional Jews, and his engaging qualities, had he been spared and in the possession of a robuster constitution than fell latterly to his lot, would have made him a wholesome influence in modifying certain antagonistic instincts in Jew and Gentile. On occasions he would, in the most artless and unaffected manner, give voice to thoughts and opinions so free from all that was false or vicious that one could not help being struck with the genuine goodness of the man. And there I will leave him. — I am, &c,
N.S. January 19. -Otago Daily Times, 20/1/1894.
