The philosopher was rifcht when he said "Your actions speak so loud I cannot hear the words on your lips." Actions have spoken. fHands have served. A heart has loved. A soul has labored. Lips have sung. A life has been lived. And that is the sermon.' So how can I say more? But with your permission I shall try to direct our thought for a few moments of meditation on that sermon that has just been completed in this man's life. And as we meditate the first thing we note is that he was a man who loved his home. Tho he was torn by circumstance early away from that home that was his by right of birth, he soon became attached to another, where as husband and father he was loved and respected, and where he poured himself out in undying service for those he loVed. And next we see -him as a man cf affairs. We value highly the ability that he showed in business, in helping to keep in our community a store run on up-to-date and business like methods. We shall miss him as a patriotic citizens who could be relic 1 upon to help in any worthy enterprise. We shall miss him as a man interested in the educational welfare of our community and one who served on the school board. We shall miss him as a fraternity man, who lived up to the ideals of the fraternity. We shall miss him as a trustee of our church and a leader in its activities. We shall miss him as a man interested in anything and everything that went toward the building up of the community--a man of affairs. But if in these meditations we see him as a lover of home and a man of affairs, more than all and by these very things we see him as a Christian. Only a week before his death I sit talking with him in this house and this is about what he said: "All that I want is health. I've come to see the folly of worldly pleasure. I see the folly of trying to pile up money and one day so very soon be taken away from it all. All I want is health. As soon as I'm able we'll turn the keys in the doors here and be off to old Vermont, where we can enjoy the mountains and springs and climate and nature." And I thought: How like the one who always loved health and sought it among mountains, lakes and deserts. I thought how like the one who saw beauty in lilies, grass, flowers, children and sparrows. How like the one who knew the true worth of life and said "what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul." Yes, he was a lover of home and a man of affairs, but more than that he was a Christian. These hands that waited patiently upon the impatient public--how like they are to the one who "came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and give his life a ransom." These feet that never tired in running errands for the public good, how like those feet that walked the dusty roads of the rugged Galilee to announce the new day of our Lord. The day before he took sick he helped with the special music for the Mothers' day service. How like the Master, whose last deed of service before his death was to find a home for his mother. And so that life tells of a man who loved home, a man of affairs, a Christian man. But the last chapter of that life is death. And how shall we view that? Death! What art thou? Thou art the inevitable visitor of mortal man. Thou art a black spector come amongst us. Thou art the frost that with each recurring season blights the hopes of a million plants Thou art in the plans of a great machine that grinds on and on ruthlessly, taking the lives of a million in sects and animals each day, only that others may survive. Thou art in the deadly poisons sent over to do= way with an unseen enemy in war. Thou art in germ of disease that scourges our land and brings pestilence upoif us. Death thou art a monster, not respecting persons, visiting high and lowly, rich and poor, good and bad, old and young, with grief and sorrow, tears and heartaches. Into our world of joy thou dost bring sorrow and despair. Death we dread thee. So we speak if we have not seen its full meaning. So we speak if we agree with the preacher who said: Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." So we speak if we agree with the in fidel, Ingersol, who came to the end of life with the words on his lips: "Darkness! Darkness! All before is darkness." So we speak if we are materialists and leave no place for God. But not so if we are Christians For then* we say: "Death! What art thou? I saw thou in the frost that blighted the hopes of a million plants, but I watched after the frost and there came forth a million new ones, bright and beautiful. Thou didst not kill them--they only slept. I see thee in a great machine that takes the life of millions and millions of insects and animals each day. But in place of insects we have frogs and in place of frogs, who died, we have fish and in place of fish, who died, we have men. I see there is meaning in death. I say in that terrible act ol murderers who sent poisoned gas over to kill an unseen foe. But Oh Death, thy name spelled liberty and life Death, I saw thee in the arch crime of mankind, when they nailed the Master of men to the cross and stood by anxious, hopeless, desperate I stood shaking as the earth was cov lend with darkness and the lightning McHENRY.

I stood as the disciples embalmed the body and laid it away. I stood as forty Roman soldiers guarded the tomb. And death I stood there when thou wast overcome by life and my master came forth to announce 'I am the resurrection and the life.'. Death thou art not a monster--thou art a change from life to life eternal." And when I'm,a Christian I do not say with Ingersol "Darkness, all is darkness," but with a Wesley "And best of all id God is with us," or with the Psalmist "Oh grave, where is thy victory, oh death, where is thy sting" or with a faul "For as in Adam all die, as also in Christ shall all be made alive." „ CaM ®f Thanks We sincerely wish to thank the dear friends who helped us so faithfully during the recent illness and death, et' % beloved husband and fathef.'
