The exercises began at 1925 with the
singing Of the hymn Lead, Kindly
Light" by the Plymouth church quar-
tet. Rev. DR.. r. Heber Newton, who
was Mr.. Georges warm personal friend
as well as pastor then read the burial
service. DR.. Newton did not wear his
,,ri., 4. 1,
desk. The service was. therefore. in a
way entirely informal. there being also
no responses. 1t was, however. the
regular burial service of the Episcopal
church.
At the conclusion of the burial SER
vice Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott spoke
briefly upon the character and public
services of Henry George. He was fol-
lowed by Rabbi Gotthal, Father Nc
Glynn and John 8. Crosby. The latter
has been one of the most active Henry
George campaigners, and was the only
layman who spoke. All of the addresses
were eloquently eulogistic Of the dead
leader. and were listened to with rapt
attention.
DR.. Abbott spoke in his customary
Mariner, calm. critical and judicious.
yet with much earnestness. He avoid
ed anything like extreme eulogy, es-
pecially as regards Mr.. Georges po-
litical teachings, but his praise for him
as a man had no bounds. What Is it
to follow Christi" asked DR.. Abbott.
rs it not to show the spirit Of Christ
himself? No one, l think, was ami
mated more clearly by His spirit than
he whose sudden death we are called
here to mourn. Only in commerce and
Industry do we find the many still
ministering to the few. In commerce
and industry the spirit of Christ has
still to enter. To bring this about, to
put the ordinary interests of life within
the sphere of Christian influence. was
the object that Henry George devoted
his life to. Injustice he did not look
upon as mere theoretical wrong. He
loved truth. he loved his fellowmen,
and he identified himself with them"
DR.. Abbott also spoke in the highest
praise of the intellectual side of Henry
George. He said that Mr.. Georges
mastery of the English language, his
ability to put things into the most
forcible possible way and his genius for
enthusiasm. would have placed
him almcst~in any position In public
life If he had been content to be merely
a politician. To do something to lift
Gods children to better plane had
been the object of Henry Georges life.
