offered an earnest prayer and read several
selections OF Scripture After the singin !.
OF NEARER My God to Thee, by the quar-
tette DR., w. S. Roberts made some re-
marks that were peculiarly well fitted to be
offered to the memory OF the deceased. He
said that there are close and indissoluhle
ties that bind man to man and ali "re joice
with them that do rejoice and weep with
them that weep. This bond OF natural
sympathy cannot DO defined but it's power is
potent. 1t was for this reason
that the large company had gath
cred to hear last words said over the
dead, to take parting look at tue familiar
face, and to sorrow with those that sorrow
III the departure of n husband, father and
a friend. In these days OF business activity
there are too many whose love OF gain shuts
out liberaity and regard for their fellow
men, When there is a man whose life has
q place in it for others, VINO lives and lets
others live, who determines his doings from
the broad plane of humanity, his departure
is loss to the community. IL he takes
active part in public affairs and bears the
responsibility and criticism of Office, if he
is a member Of such an honored organiza-
| ton as the Grand Army or other fraternal
| body, then his sphere has been much
broader and his death touches wider Giro e.
| Alderman Trick will be missed as A fellow
citizen, n neighbor, "A comrade in arms, and
| his loss will be felt in tho various relations
Of lie whore he for 80 many years took an
active anu ncrnbs part. Or. Roberts
closed his remarks with prayer.
After singing by The quartette Of Crock
of Ages" Rev. i. W. Olmstead offered
