enthroned 1t in his life, and he never
allowed any Of the base standards among
men to dethrone 1t. To carry this divine
image. there are many tools. Tools
which men were using every day. But
he had use for few. Selhshness, unwor-
thy ambition, greed Of gain, base pride
and base appetite, he did not use. But
honesty, plain honesty, was his tool,
and with it he chieeled away until his
name was as good and current as the
coin of the realm :.
Speaking of the last Illness, Mr..
Conger said:
He knew his time was drawing near,
and ne must be about his Father,e
business, for he had much to do. he
wanted to put all that God had given
him into the freah and growing life oil
the young. He knew his time was
short, so he had not moment to spare.
The last day found him very early In
the morning with plants and Howers
and workmen to beautity the spot that
marked his useful labor. He worked
till noon, took hasty lunch and mad
in bis hands plants from his own yard,
which he suddenly laid down to take
up the laurel wreath immortal when
awaited him.
But he was ready. "My journey is
almost ended, but am ready II it is my
Fathers WILL" were almost hie last
words. "But what will become OF my
school % was his anxious word. l
answered, "You have done your whole
duty nohly. Pasadena will take care OF
your achool." Did promise too much ?
l spoke for all, and he carried that mes
sage with him home.
Rev. Conger was followed by Rev.
Florence Kollock, who delivered very
impressive eulogy of one who had done
so much for the church as we'll as hu-
manity at large.
s Governor Markham made a short ad-
dress, in which he said:
Father Throop's unfnltering love for
Pasadena WAS indeed a great compli-
,ment to Passdena's worth. On the other
hand, Passdene's unbounded love and
affection for him Ia surely the grandest
tribute that can be made to his memory ;
for any man that can honestly earn the
affections and esteem OF this people to a
degree equal to that OF OF our departed
friend. must OF necessity be possessed
! OF those higher attributes OF the soul
which would naturally tit him to be-
come dwsller among the hlest in that
happy home above.
have often thought our friend must
have viewed his mission ON earth and
the use of his earthly possessions in
much the same light as that expressed
by Ruskin, who said: "rhere 10 no
wealth but life-life, including all itH
power OF love, OF Joy and admiration.
That country is ricnest which nourishes
the greatest number OF noble and happy
human beings. That man is richest
who, having perfected the functions OF
his own life TO the utmost. has also the
widest helpful influence, both personal
and by means of his possessions, over
the lives and habits of Others"
Other spenkers were Professor Keyes,
Mayor Weed, Rev. Staats, DR.. Deer and

mention. The services closed with q
selection by the choir.
The interment was made in Mountain
View cemetery, and the body was fol-
lowed to it's last resting place by pro-
cession reaching fully milo in length.
The ceremonies at the grave were sim
pie but impressive. the remains being
laid away amid bower OF flowers.
