Alfred Samuel Loizeaux, for 17 years editor of Help and Food,
and a director of Loizeaux Brothers, Inc., passed away on the
morning of May 7, 1962, at the age of 85, at his home in
Towson, Maryland, after a long illness. He was a son of
Timothy Ophir Loizeaux, one of the founders of the
Bible Truth Depot in 1876, and Anna Mabel Loizeaux.
His first interest was always the Lord's Word and work.
For many years, he was a frequent speaker, often preaching
twice on Lord's Days, teaching two Bible classes during
the week, as well as speaking at various missions and jails.
He was one of the organizers of the Baltimore School of the
Bible and taught evening classes there. His valuable and
appreciated written ministry increased some twenty years ago,
when a speech difficulty greatly curtailed his preaching activities.
He was an active supporter of Greenwood Hills Bible Conferences
and maintained a keen interest in missionaries and their work.
His only daughter, Eleanor (Mrs. Carl) Johnson, is a missionary
in Ruanda-Urundi, Africa.
Funeral services at Loch Hill Chapel were conducted by
Mr. G. M. Landis and Dr. T. R. Phillips.
The Fields joins a host of friends in extending Christian
sympathy to the family in their bereavement.

The Christian Life Hymnal (Martingale Music 2006) lists Alfred Samuel Loizeaux as the author of a stanza in the codified version of the hymn "God, Our Father, We Adore Thee!"

The text attributed reads:
"Holy Spirit, we adore Thee! Paraclete and heav'nly guest!
Sent from God and from the Savior, Thou hast led us into rest.
We adore Thee! We adore Thee! By Thy grace forever blest;
we adore Thee. We adore Thee! By thy grace forever blest."

The text is set to a tune called "Beecher", composed by John Zundel in 1870.
