MEMORIAL SERVICE.

The memorial service to the late
w. H. Herrick in the Grand Army
hall last Saturday evening was a
fitting tribute on the part of Cham
berlin Post to noble and useful life.
Commander Hovey presided and
music was furnished by the st.
Johnsbury orchestra, one of the
musical organizations in which he
was so deeply interested.
Charles P. Carpenter was the first
speaker and spoke OF the appro-
priateness of such a service and OF
the ties which army life formed and
which were so lasting and tender.
He said that Mr.. Herrick was a
gentlemen at all times and under all
circumstances, and the influence OF
such a good life was perpetuated for.
ever. The good he has done will
never be forgotten and we should all
be thankful for his example.
Rev. DR.. Edward T. Fairbanks
said he greatly valued him as a citi-
zen and fine gentleman whose tastes
and development OF mind had al
ways attracted his attention. He
said he was man Of unusual intelll-
gence and when he died we lost from
our village an excellent man and a
very useful and worthy citizen. His
memory is one that is very kindly
and lovingly cherished. and after be-
ing in his presence life was the richer.
The last speaker was Rev. Thos.
Tyrie, who spoke on character. He
said to have lived well is to have
made life success. To have achieved
such character as Mr.. Herrick's is
more worthy than fame on the battle
field, riches or power. Character
building is cumulative, and one can.
not make it in day. His life was
lived to the best as his influence was
always helpful and always upon the
side of right and truth. In this way
Mr.. Herrick contributed to the
honor of this community. Our in
fuence in essence ought to be the
same. Let US be men in the fullest
sense.
