Gods time an that time is ALWAYS
right"
Z Mr.. Wilkin' saddress was listened to with
the deepest attention and as his words
were often broken with emotion, the
effect will not soon be forgotten.
The choir then sang in a touching
and beautiful manner
"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
! From which none ever wake TO weep"
Rev. Davis then read the beautiful
PRAYER for the dead, Rev. Wilkins also
offered prayer after which the large
audience fled out of the church and
the remains of the two beautiful and
beloved sisters were borne to the
tomb. The line of carriages was the
longest ever witnessed in central Mis-
souri,, and as the procession passed
through the city, the sidewalks were
lined with sympathetic people. nearly
all standiog with uncovered heads.
The police, alse were drawn up IN a
body and remained uncovered while
the cOrtege passed. At the cemetery
the scene was very pathetic one.
Rev. Wilkins read the burial service
and the choir sang chaunts of tender
ness. The bodies were then
lowered tn the tomb and
after the singing of Rock of Ages"
by the choir, and the placing of the
floral tributes upon the filled graves,
the vast multitude, with many tear
of regret, departed to their homes and
left the dead to
"Sleep, but not forever"
