REV. J. [. ALBRITTOk'S
SPLENDID TRIBUTE,
Rev. Mr.. Tilburn Also Speaks Flo
quently of the Life Of the
Deceased.

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints ON the sands of time.
The influence of lMarcusDaly dead is not
less potent than was the influence of
Marcus DAILY living. His life was an
exemplif1cation of grand and noble prin-
! ciples on so broad, and comprehensive a
scale that in death it furnishes a criter-
ion in many respects for emulation by all
persons, irrespective of class or calling.
The life and influence of this grand
old Roman of Montana We're the
theme of two Protestant ministers SER
mons yesterday. Rev. j. L. Albritton
preached on this subject at the Mountain
View Methodist Episcopal church., taking
as his text the Psalms, chap. W., verse
g.: There be many that say, who viii
show us any good? Lord, lift Thou up
the light of Thy countenance upon u.s."
REV. Q. II. Ti,burn discoursed upon
the same theme at the Christian taber-
nacle, selecting ~Zephaniah, chap.I verse
3, as his text.
DR.. Abortion began his sermon with
a biblical recount of the acts of the an
clients, following with the story of the
search of Diogeres for a maj and an epi-
tome of the lives of the great Greek phi
losophers. In those days there were the
good and the bad. the optimists and the
pessimists, the Indifferent and the mere
.ly cynical.
'Good deeds will live, kind acts will
live" said the preacher, 'tand encourage
others to better deeds. In Illustration
take the Life of Marcus DAILY. His death
was news that sent the citizens of the

grand old timers of Montana; his life
was redlolent OF goodness and decency
and charity. Montana was made great
by that man.
"He lived not for himself alone. Think
of the hundreds of widows that man has
assisted; think of the orphans whose
hopes of the future hav been frightened
by. his ibenevolence WINK does not re-
member the telegram that came to the
Associated Charities two years ago, say
ing: Give to the poor of Butte 800 tons
of coal Thank God, I am mot a cynic
to accuse that man of doing good to make
himself popular-he wished to do good
because he had a tender. a plying heart.
Let there be more, like him, is my pray

Another illustration of good was Civ
en- in a brief review of the life of little
9-year-old joey Hastings, the son of Prof.
B.. c. Hastings, who passed away last
week. The little man had recently Joined
the church, and his last words We're
breathings of the spirit OF the Savior's
utterances.
Rev. Mr.. Tilburn's text was: seek We

when he heard that deserving people

After a powerful sermon. punctuated
with morals, the reverend gentleman
called on his congregation to take Days
achievements as an example, and pursue
his methods as regards leading a moral
life and alternating suffering and want.
Tributes were also paid the memories
of Henry Willard and Henry Filing,
whose motto was also "it may be-

in conclusion, lis a spiritual bugle call,
rallying all Christian men and women to
a fight against evil"
