Jr., where the body had been lying.

ceased. the High Priests quorum, and
friends and sympathiZers.
Arrived at the Westinghouse, SER
vices were commenced by the choir

from afar, funeral knell." After
prayer and singing, VIM. Kelsey, of
Springyille, addressed the congrega-
ton. He alluded in a sympathetic
strain, to the solemn occasion which
had brought the people together, and
of the good qualities of the deceased,
saying he loved him as brother be-
Cause of his amiable character; and
had never labored with any one that
he had felt so drawn towards as he
did towards Isaac Bullock. The speaker
traced part of the life of deceased in
coming tC Utah at a time when this
land was desert, and how he had
helped to make it bloom, saying, he
has left the earth better than he found
it, and by his actions has made his cal
ling and his election sure.
S. S. Jones alluded to the beautiful
symbol that Bro. C. Twelves had laid
OH the casket Ia sickle, made of flow
ers, and in the centre sheaf of grain
fully ripe saying it was very APP

speaker, coming here, arc enraptured
with the beauties of Utah, and it was
only by the strenuous efforts of such
men as Bro. Bullock, that the Terri
tory is developed as it is to-day.
H. II. Cuff next addressed the con-
gregation, paying fitting tribute to the
work Of the deceased, both temporal
and spiritual, and spoke of the hope
the resurrection gives unto the chris
tian. A death here is but a birth
beyond. To us, death is not stop

the anchor of the soul"
