ueorge occupied the chair next to the
aisle In the front row and his mother
was beside him. Mrs. George was
neavlly yelled when she entered the
man, but during the speaking she raised
her veil and followed the remarks of
each speaker attentively. While show
ing plainly the strain that she has
passed through, Mrs. George main
tanned her composure with stern forti-
tude
TO the right of Mrs. George were

~ and relatives, including Richard
george, son of the philosopher, and
his daughter, Miss Anna George, John
V. George, brother of the deceased,
and other relatives were present.

The committee which had charge of
the funeral arrangements included
Brlsbon Walker. Hamlin Garland,
James Clarence Harvey and others
who also acted as pallbearers.
The exercises began at 1926 with the
singing of the hymn LEAD, Kindly
Light, by the Plymouth church quar-
tette. Rev. DIR. Heber Newton, who
was Mr.. Georges warm personal friend
as well as pastor, then read the burial
service. DR.. Newton did not wear his
priestly robes, and he had no reading
desk. The service was therefore, in a
way, entirely informal there being al
so no responses. 1t was however, the
regular burial service of the Episcopal
church. The only music rendered in
connection with it was the chanting of
the Lords prayer.
At the conclusion of the burial serv-
ice Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott spoke
briefly upon the character and public
services of Henry George.
Rabbi Gottheil spoke next.
After another hymn by the choir,
Rev. DIR. McGlynn spoke. Prior to his
address the vast asSemblage had pre-
served a church-like quiet, but the
ringing words of DR.. McGlynn soon
evoked an outburst of applause which
| could not be repressed. Dr. McGlynn
said in part:
1.-The place where we meet here this after
| noon is not one dedicated to religion or to the
| service Of God, but has generally been used for
purposes of recreation or amusement or of art.
1t has to-day been made sacred and we meet
| here upon holy ground and stand ashened in the
presence of a message directed to us from the
| throne of God. 1t is no ordinary message
That messenger Of death has been brought to
our hearts that which has UNNECESSARILY
| shocked US.
I'VE stand upon ground that is made sacred
| by the remains of man who was raised from
among us by our father in Heaven to spread
the messages Of truth and righteousness and
| justice and peace to all
He died in struggle for the cause of hui
mainly, especially that of New York, but ii
| was altogether too small for his broad mind
and indomitable energy.
He was simply seer q prophet, forerunnel
sent by God, and we can say in all reverence
and in the words of the Scriptures, that There
! John. He was sent to bear witness of the light
1 believe am not guilty of proclamation Of the
| sacred Scriptures when 1 say there was q man
sent from God and his name was Henry
George
| Henry Georges gentle heart was ready to
break because he saw that nothing came from
the professors of the schools of politicalecOno-
my which could improve the condition Of the
people, because the limits of the knowledge OF
| those economists was hardly to be considered
within the bounds of science at all.
Truly it was designed by providence to raise
| up such a man before the world to 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 work;
have been read throughout the world and IL
every language known in the universe George
speaks to all humanity to-day"
John S. Crosby, who has been one o.
! the most active campaigners for Henry
George, was the last speaker, and the
only layman who spoke.
The last address was concluded
shortly after five O'Clock, and the
meeting was dismissed, with directions
from a member of the committee as tC
the manner of dismissal from the hall
Nearly all of those present took adj
vantage of the opportunity to view
the face of Henry George, and the
march past his coffin was continued as
it had been in progress during the day.
Simple private services were held at
10 o'clock Monday morning at the fam
lily residence. Revs George and Latti-
mer, of Philadelphia, cousins of the
deceased and both Episcopal clergy
men, Officiated.
The body was carried to Greenwood
