DIR. REEDS ADDRESS.
At the conclusion of the reading the choir
sang = Asleep in Jesus" and Rev. j.. San
oerS Reed arose 10 pronounce the funeral
sermon.
1u substance he said: Death Is notonew
thing. 1t is older than the history of man,
MOST OF us have been taught TO believe that
death came As the result of Adams sin, but
philosophy to-day teaches us a different
story. We now know that in the remote
ages OF antiquity, when man was not vet
born, grim monsters crushed and killed each
other on the icy plains of the primitive
| world. Death, in other words, is merely
! condition of existence, and but for il the
earth would long since have become unin-
habitable.
Death does not break the thread of ex-
lstence. In our dreams we see our friends
ana hear them talk. In death it is the
same Not even the body is destroyed. In
proof Of this we realize that before us now
lies the body of an honOred King. Through
the law of development lie will undergo a
change, and may yet bloom in the flowers of
his island home.
This King made name for honor. BY
SLOW degrees he developed this character
and by a process of evolution will continue
10 develop it in the world to come. Each of
US VIII be what we are in life, but much
more so. Those who strive to improve their
opportunities will continue the improve
ment, While those who neglect them will
grow worse.
HIS WORK WAS NE.
This dear King made of himself a certain
thing, and 1t is doubtful if longer life on
earth would have tended to larger spiritual
development Garfield and Lincoln were
taken up. as we thought, before their time.
put we can now believe that their work was
dOhe ana other men were needed TO carry
on what they had begun. And so it NAV be

And now. officers of the fleet on behalf of
the people not only of this church. but OF

plu you take the remains of this man back
TO his native island. Carry with you the
assurance of our sincere sympathy. We
thank God that seventy years ago there were
raised up missionaries that converted the
natives OF the Sandwich Islands and since
mat time monarch after monarch has been

taken away, but his body will now be sent
back to the island he loved so well, and for
which his heart ever yearned."
When the minister ended his short mt
earnest address the choir sang Rock of
Ages, and the assembled clergy repeated
the creed, followed by brief benediction
