Here is q funeral sermon which, as far as it goes
is almost equal to the famous Harp of thousand
strings" ...
Parson S., a rather eccentric character
was called to preach the funeral sermon of a hard
case named Ram, which he did in the following
unique style:
my beloved brethren and sisters, if our beloved
brother Ram would want somebody to come here
and tell lies about him, and make him out better
preach his funeral sermon. No, my bretheren, he
wanted to be held up as burning and shining
light, to warn you from the error of your ways
He kept horses, and he run'd em; he kept chick
ems, and he fout 'em. Our dear departed brother
had many warnins, bretheren. The first was when
he broke his leg, but still he went on in the error
OF his ways. The second warnin' was when bis
son Peter hung himself in Jail and the last and
greatest wsrnin OF all was, he died himselfin The
preacher enlarged upon these topics until he sunk
Rann 30 low that bis hearers began to doubt whe-
ther he would ever succeed in getting him up
again. and, as usual in funerals landing him safe
in Abrahams bosom. This was the object of the
second part Of the sermon, which started thus
MY bretheren, theren be great imeracles, great
meracies In heaven and the first meracle will be-
that many you expect TO find there you wont see
there. The people that go round with long faces,
making long prayers, wont be there. And the
second meracle viii be, that many you don't ex-
pect TO ind there-as perhaps some wont expect
70 find our departed brother Rann--you1l find

called the next day at my ROOM and insisted so much
that would try them that asked him 10 get me
