5 The Ercry Erening says Of this meeting, awe
doubt if there has ever been on such an occasion st
great display of sincere and unforced feeling feel
ing reflected even more in the tones and emotions o
those present than in the eloquent and sincere word
in which the general grief was formally expressed
Strong wept and tongues skilled in the art o
easy speech stammcred and faltered as the though
came home to all that these last honors to whC
had been much to them all were really the last, anC
that he who had been foremost in the past on al
such sad occasions would meet them no more in an!
of the many relations in all which he had been eve
so sympathetic, so efficient and so helpful. Thos
present seemed to have never realized what they hat
really lost till they thus together and each ex
pressed what the loss to himself No highe
Il tribute has ever been paid to the usefulness an
beauty of any life lived in our community than Wa
this spontaneous outpouring of sincere feeling"
