Excerpt from A Memorial Sermon on the Life and Character of the Rt. Rev. Benjamin Henry Paddock, S. T. D., Late Bishop of Massachusetts: Preached at the Opening Services of the Diocesan Convention, in Trinity Church, Boston, on the 29th of April, 1891
The Apostle Paul, while imprisoned at Rome, I appears to have found there a disciple of Christ, with whom he established a special intimacy, and he sends him to the Church at Ephesus as the bearer of a message of counsel, and also with directions to inform the Ephesians of his private affairs, in order that he might comfort their hearts; and this man he designates as "A beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord."
The terms in which he speaks of his friend are very suggestive, and they must have already called to mind one who was for some years in very intimate relations with you, and who has lately gone to his rest.
