Resolutions Of Respect.

Resolutions adopted by the Jewish
Congregation of the Eoft Street Tenn
pie. on the death of Henry X. List
Wheeling is in mourning. Grief.
stricken and sorrowful, 1t bows It's mead
and weeps and refuses TO be comforted'
for It's noblest and Its best is gone. The
man to whom It could point with pride
as its greatest and best, the man whom
It loved and respected; the man VINO
did 20 much to lift II and better 1t, mas
broathed his last farewell and calmly
and peacefully closed his eyes in sleep.
Throughout his eighty years OF lie,
faithful to his duty as no saw II, never
falling to live up to the best that was
In him. he made the most Of the years
granted him, so that when his end came
he could look back upon his past and
feel not one pang OF regret for wrong
done or n good left undOne. And now
he is no more, and the city that knew
him so well is broken-hearted and can
not check its tears, and SO 1t weeps.
But It's weeping is mingling Of thanks
and sorrow. thanks that he was per-
mItted to bless 1t SO long, sorrow that
he will no more bless. It, and that his
voice will no more be heard.
To the tributes paid this great man
and good, we would fnln add ours. did
not broken hearts refuse our hating
tongues adequate expression wherewith
to voice our sentiments and our feel
ings. For we, too, feel the loss which
Henry X. Lists death has caused. We.
too knew his grandeur Of character, his
nobility OF soul. We, too, knew him
with his kindly manner and his genia!
Cordiality and his whole souled hon.
esty. We, too knew of his liberallty,
and we felt It, too and felt 1t In more
ways than one. for he was not only lib
oral I'm giving, but liberal in feeling and
thought, as well. Henry X. List was
staunch in his faith and we admired
him for 1t, but his righteousness
made him tolerant and broad-minded.
He knew no such thing as nnrrowness
OF view toward those that differed with
him. He respected and he helped ev-
cry movement which he felt was work
ing for the good OF humanity. and he
men whatever their religious beliefs,
providing they were possessed Of the
sincerity and the truth that were his
during his entire life.
And so he was n friend to us as he
was to all and so he bespoke us nm
encouraging and respectful word as he
did those nearer him and so he en-
deared himself TO us all. His fnmily's.
his congregations. his clty's grief we
feel thus to be ours, for we loved him
and because we loved him we sorrow
that his prophetic voice Is silenced and
his prophetic activity ended. We. like
all who knew him, Join our voices TO
the grand chorus that now sings him
tribute. We would faln have had him
here with us longer, for We know what
those further years would have meant,
but now that he is gone. we are simply
grateful that he was permitted to be
with us as long as he was and so we
bid him farewell. assured that in the
beyond his life lived here simply knows
further being and that there Henry X.
List viii meet with the reward he 80
merits.
Resolved, That we extend to the be-
reavod family, our slncerest sympathy
in this hour Of their sorrow.
Resolved, That these words Of APP
probation be entered on the minutes Of
our congregation; that they be printed
in the local papers and that n copy OF
the Same he forwarded TO the family Of
the deceased.
