The religious services we're conducted
in the Presbyterian church. The edifce
was crowded. Not only was every scat
10 the body OF the church occupied but the
rear was crowded to the doors by people
unable to get seats, while scores lowered
on the outside unable to secure ad-
mission. Prof. Pasmore presided at the
organ while the choir was composed of
Mrs. Pratt, Miss Morgan and Mr.. Hale.
Rev. DR.. Cowhick preached a brief dis
course, preludIn1 his remarks by a few
words on the personal history of Mr..
Kimme, his birth in Germany almost
hity-oue years age, the death of his son
and sister here a few years ago and the
fact that he leaves a widow and four
daughters to mourn his loss. The ser
mon briefly outlined the possibilities OF
man, the immensely of bis resources on
the one hand and his limitations on the
other. The preacher pictured the won.
derful advances in science, the discoveries
in the heavens, with man bnt little less
than the angels, weighing the planets in
the immensely OF space and predicting
with an accuracy SO marvellous as to be
almost beyond comprehension the move
ments Of the erratic heavenly bodies which
become apparent to the human eye but once
In a century perhaps. On the other hand
he contracted the mystery OF death. The
heart OF man, with its marvellous mechan-
SIN, might go on Lulsating day after day,
month after month and year after year,
but suddenly it stops and all the science
oil the universe could not put it again in
motion. From the mysteries beyond the
grave he drew a picture of divine provi-
dence and the healing, soothing consoia-
tons it brought with it.
At the conclusion of these services the
lid of the coffin, which was surmounted
BY banks of beautiful flowers in appro-
pirate designs, was raised and the audience
permitted to to take its last view of the
remains.
The procession was then reformed. At
the cemetery the benediction was pro-
nounced and the earthly remains OF
Charles Kimme were consigned 10 their
last resting place.
