Excerpt from A Memorial of the Rev. George Archibald Smith, A. M

To the Professors, Alumni and Students of the Episcopal Seminary of Virginia, this humble tribute to the memory of the eldest son of the Seminary is lovingly inscribed. The types of ministers of Christ are many and various. Some are sons of thunder, and others still, small voices. Some are transient meteors, dazzling the eye for the moment, and then vanishing away without a trace; others shine with steady, noiseless rays. Some are impetuous torrents, carrying all before them; others are gentle rills, running underground, occasionally coming to the surface in springs of living waters, beautifying and enlivening the landscape - poor in spirit, pure in heart, meek in mien, patient in tribulation, rejoicing in hope, instant in prayer, distributing to the necessity of saints, and thinking not of their own, but of the things of others, enduring, believing, hoping, loving and blessing, and thus attesting themselves to be the children of God in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, among whom they shine as lights in the world. Of these latter types was our Virginia patriarch, who being dead yet speaketh.
