| A letter from lady belonging to
the Congregational Church at Elk
River to 4 lady friend in Worthington
gives the following account OF the
services at the funeral of Rev. David
Henderson on Friday last: "Touch-
ing tributes fell from the lips of his
brother pastors from various places.
We had made the church as lovely as
we could with the flowers Mr.. Hender-
son loved so we'll, and he lay there SO
peaceful and without any trace of the
terrible pain through which he had
passed. Very many from here and
elsewhere who tenderly laid him away,
and we walked to the side of the
grave and laid cut flowers upon the
casket, as each Of us stood in the place
of mouruer. When the mound of
earth had been placed it was covered
with flowers, and our Junior Christian
Endeovor Society are going to send
members to place fresh ones each Sun
day until the weather is too cold. On
next Sunday we hope to have memo
rial services, and all tributes IN the
way Of letters from absent friends will
be read. We want every one to know
the true worth Of our late pastor who
did good things SO quietly that the
world did not always know of them.
If there are any friend in Worthing
ton who would like to write to us be-
fore Sunday concerning him we
should be very glad. He had no rel
atives IN this country aside from
nephew whom he had never ;een.. -
| Very sincerely, yours.
