It is difficult to put in words my estimate of Mr. Putney. He was a loyal
friend to everyone he knew, always looking for ways of encouragement
and help. Many a scholar can testify to the truth of this. We know his
thoroughness as a teacher, we remember his reverence for the Bible, his
prayers, his loyalty to church and its organizations, his devotion to
his Heavenly Father.
I think his influence for good will extend to the ends of the earth. It
has been a great blessing to know him. I have been so glad he could keep
up his work to the last.
