At St Andrews church, Minneapolis,
memorial service for the late Charles A.
Pilsbury was held last evening. The
vested choir was joined for the occasion
by the choir Of All Saints church There
were special hymns ard the altar was
adorned with flowers. After evening
prayer. read by w. f. Warren, the
assistant, the address was delivered by
Rev w. Wilkinson. He said:
"AIl great peoples peoples capable Of
high achievement, have had leaders who
were numbered amongs! the mighty.
Not one of these men in any way was
ideal. All had limitations. In saying
this we are only saying they were
human. But each and every one of the
mighty men of whom we have heard,
or whom we have known, had elements
Of character and wealth CT serv &c for

made him great and useful, so that we
may ourselves be better able to serve our
generation according to the will of Gcd
Here and now we are honcring a man
whose name we all know and whose
worth we all value. In order to find out
what honor his name deserves, know
what he was, what he did and how he
did it, it will be wise to look at the
conditions by which he was, all his life,
in this city surrounded.
&C. A Pillsbury lived in this city for
more than thirty years. When he came
here it was a small place. But in it were
a people who had left their fathers
house; they had come from many lands
into this new West. They as a whole
were marked by wonderful energy. The
timid and fearful do not go into new
lands to encounter new dangers and
brave new difficulties. Here lived when
the Pillburys came men who have since
written their name and fame in the i'm
perishable records of the commonwealth
of Minnesota.

Mr.. Pillsburys word WAS just as good

some men are-slippery, ready to evade

This is because he was by nature and
by practice an optimist. He always saw

thorns are near these flowers.
