The services which were conducted by
Rev. j. l.. Jenkins. pastor of the state
Street Congregational church were BRIEF
aud impressive. He expressed the thought
that amid the peculiar grief and pain OF
such a service, we are not very distinctly
conscious how large a part gratitude
plays, for our very sufferings are caused
by what our friends have been to us or
done Tor us. He said that 1t is In these
services that men do their best work.
The real possessions Of our families
are not the houses we live In. or what
we put In them for our comfort and pleas
ure, but rather the ex perienoes that come
from companionship In them. And SO
in a community, its traly good thing Is
supplied by the faithful service among its
members.
We ought on this occasion TO recognize
with gratitude what MIR. Prescott was
and did in his home and along the line
of his chosen occupation.
During the service two solos were very
artistically rendered by Miss Henrietta
ID. Rice, her numbers being 80 Para
disc" and 80 Rest In the Lord" from
Elijah
