 ". Phelps of This City-In Memoriam.
 The funeral of Captain James Halsey Linsley of Northford. who was mem ber of the Tenth Connecticut Volun- teers, took place yesterday morning in the Northford Congregational church. Rev. MT. Beach, pastor of the church. officiated over the services, an address being delivered by Rev. Dryden w. Phelps of this city and son Of the late pr s. Dryden Phelps, celebrated New Haven clergyman. Mir. Phelps was a cousin of Captain Linsley.
 The honorary pallbearers were Josiah A. Smith, E. A. Buell., George Barnes of Northford and W. E. Whittlesey and Martin V. Barnes of this city. The ac- tive bearers were Noah Linsley, Wal lingford; Urban Harrison, Wyllys Will Hams, John Planning and Charles Fox, Northford and Hobart Crockett, North Haven.
 The church and pulpit were draped with national flags and the ceremony was most impressive one.
 Dr. Phelps took as the subject of the address "The Day of Jesus Christ Philippians 1, 6, and preached an elo- quent sermon, the conclusion of which was as follows: ...... .............
 And John saw thrones and they sat upon them and judgment was given to them. And he saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testi- mony of Jesus and for the word of God and which had not worshipped the beast. nor his image and had not re- ceived his mark upon their forehead or on their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection; on such the second death has no power but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years. .. .s.....
 .sThe Scriptural teaching seems to be that the coming of the Lord and the resurrection and rapture of his people. They are taken to the city of God, the heavenly Jerusalem. The earth is left desolate until the close of the millennium and the resurrection of the ungodly. Then satan Is loosed and makes a des- perate attempt to lead the nations that are in the four corners of the earth to F, ct xIrhn upon the Mount of Olives, which cleaves, making a very great valley. The Lord our God cometh and all the holy ones. It shall come to pass in that day that it shall be one day that is known until the Lord, not day and not night but it shall come to pass that at. evening time there will be light. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth. The devil and his angels are destroyed in the lake of fire as also his subjects who are not found written in the book of life. John saw new < heaven and a new earth and he saw the. holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as bride adorned for her hus- band God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more, nor shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more; the first things are passed away. The throne of God and of the lamb shall be therein and His servants shall serve Him and they shall see His face and they shall reign forever and ever.''
