Your correspondent was deeply Impress
ed with the address delivered by Rev J
A. Wiegand, Wednesday at the funeral Of
the late lamented Marvin Kimball, Esq.
The following is synopsis thereof:
Text, Rev IA; 18-'I heard a voice from
heaven saying, write blessed are the dead
that die in the Lord, Yea saith the spirit
for they shall rest foin their labors and
their works do follow Them"
The Patmos of the soul, the celestial
stairway where the eye of faith feasts upon
revealed glory. This voice from heaven
might have been the message of the re-
doomed TO their friends upon earth or may
have been the message OF angels to men
upon earth, but it was undoubtedly the
voice of the Father.
1t contains sweet words of consolation
to us If he our brother who died in the
Lord could speak, this would be his mes
sage to US. He lived In the Lord and dur.
ing his whole life was ambitious to please
the God whom he served His life Of rec
titude is an example for us to follow. The
beautiful thought occurs to us in his text
that he shall rest from his labors, from
pains and agonies, from griefs and sorrows
from harassing anxieties, from conflicts
and trials. This rest does not mean idle
soul that is always aspiring to loftier
thoughts acts and positions It means a
continual praise before God for His re
deeming grace and His loving kindness
His works do follow him The departed
shall live in the hearts and minds of those
who knew him His influence will con
tinue to mould the characters and continue
In shaping the destinies of those with
whom he came in contact. What charac.
ter to emulate What an example to fol
low His life shall ever be before US. fol
we know he lived the life of Christian
and died the death of the righteous.

At the sociable the other evening of St
Joseph's Church held at the parochial re
sidence, some of the rowdy element of
this place were in evidence and gave no
little annoyance and attempted the de
struction Of some property, but their de
signs were fortunately frustrated by the
timely appearance of the pastor, Rev
Father Treis 1t seems really strange
that these rowdy methods of some young
men and boys cannot be suppressed.
