| ter which the remains were taken TO
! the Methodist Episcopal church where
services We're conducted by the pastor,
Rev. NJ. d. Fuller, D. D. The choir
| sang several Well known hymns, one
of which was the beautiful Jesus
Saviour, Pilot Me- The pastor spoke
| briefly from words taken from / Corin-
| thians, xiii chapter, 18th verse: For
now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face; now | know in
part; but then shall ! know even as
also / am known" In conclusion he
paid u warm tribute to the young
mans sterling virtues. His reference
to his conversion and the Christian fell
lowship existing between the dead man
and himself was most touching and
brought tears to many eyes. AT the
conclusion of the service the Casket was
uncovered and the large congregation
slowly filed past and gazed for the last
time upon the face of the dead man.
