Henry Georges gentle heart. the ora
tor said was ready TO break because he
saw that nothing came from the profess
ors of the schools of political economy
which could improve the condition OF the
people. because OF the knowledge of those
economists was hardly to be considered
within the bounds of science at all.
..Truly II was designed by Providence
TO raise up such a man before the world 10
expose the fallacy and the injustice of their
reasoning.
Wherever word has gone that Henry
George is dead, his teachings live and his
voice is heard though he lies still In death.
His works have been read throughout the
world and in every language known In the
universe George speaks to all humanity.
John s. Crosby. who has been one of the
most active campaigners for Henry lieorge
| was the last speaker. and the only Iayman
who spoke. His address dealt more with
| the duty of the present. in accordance with
| the principles laid down by Henry Geo:=e
| rather than with mere eulogy OF the aeed
| teacher. and evoked applause even mp c
| energetic perhaps. than the remarks OF Dr
| McGlynn.
The last address was concluded sho tly
| after s O'Clock and the meeting was dis.
| missed with directions from member OF
| The committee as to the manner OF dis
| missal from the hall. Nearly all of those
present took advantage of the opportunity
offered to view the face of Henry George
| and the march past his coffin was continued
| as 1t had been in progress during the day.
