 Rev. Dr. Munger read the funeral service and afterwards made few touching remarks upon the honored deceased, during which he said: As I review the life of our friend I am
 reminded of two passages of scripture-the l first from the Old Testament, "Whatsoeve1 | thou hast found to do, do with all thy might; the second is from the New Testa. ment, "I must work the work of him that sent nae while the day is, for when night l cometh no man laboreth." There are nc more cheering thoughts of our friend than to | know that he lived under the conceptions oi | life as shown in these words. When a man | has steadily and earnestly confined himself 1 to some form of useful work we have the most satisfactory form of the progress of life Life is not vanity; we are sure it is not period of pleasure, a mere waiting time. Al | I review the career of Judge Pardee aH 1 struck by the incessant devotion to hard ! work. This record is not unusual in New ! England.
 The career of this hard-working lawye, | was shaped in college and his college associa,
 tions were among the pleasantest of his life His career is such a one as comes from gooG natural ability, deep passion for justice common sense and indefatigable love o work. All that he did had the clear mari
 of fidelity and painstaking presence. H,
 was active in all reformatory work in tht city and the administration of justice
 While we admire and respect his life, ou
 sense is that his last ten years have been
 conflict with pain for health, making
 brave fight not for life, but for strength t.
 continue his work. So he toiled to the end
 His was no great special work, but he pu
 himself directly into the municipal life o
 the city. Church and State, college ana
 town, will be better for his influence ant l remember him with the gratitude of low
 and honor As we recall under what weigh ! of disease his last moments were spent, VI
 are almost content to say that it is over an, ! that he truly "slseps in pesae."
