ciety. or has ever performed his duty
to his friends. better than Col. Bruins
wick.
The poet has said that "the old pio-
neers' and Colonel Brunswick is one
of them now, or was while he vas liv-
ing here, are crossing the range
that invisible range which separates
the now from the hereafter; which
separates the carnal body from the
soul; which separates what we have
been, or what we are. from what we
will be. The Colonel has crossed that
range. Ii may be that these old pio-
ncers AZ they have crossed that range
will look back from their immortal
siate on the past; that they will prob.
ably wish to rise Ia the summit ana
glance over the range down into the
land where they lived when they.
were here with us and look a. the.
elites that are being blilded. the
progress that h being made. the new
peoples that are springing up. ana.
the great enterprises that are being
developed. We do not say that the

That Is what he will want. that Is

ana In closing my remarks Will call
attention to what the poet has said,
without repeating his language. II
Iis said that the Angel Of the LORD
visited Abou Ben Adam and others
and propounded to each n the ques-
tion, "tu whom was he a friendEs
Each. With the exception OF Abou Ben
Adam answered, "A friend Of the
Lord When Ahou Ben Adam was
asked, he replied, "A friend Of my
Ifellow.men." The angel closed the
book and time passed on. Finally
tho records we're opened again, and
the angel OF the Lord read from the
book that the mans OF Abou hen
Adam. the friend az his fellow-mcn'
led all tho rest. That, my friends,
il where we will find Col, Brunswick
1.-THE friend OF his fellow men. true
to his religion. true to his race. true
ID his country. and truer than all 70
HIS feIlow.men. he will lead all the
rest"
A long cortege followed 70 the Ma
sonic cemetery where interment was
made IN the new family lot Of Charles
ufcld. The Impressive ritual q lhe
Hebrew burial service was %pronounc-
cd over The open grave and, following
a custom Of time i~mmemorial, each
friend OF taa, faith scattered clods
upon the lowered casket as he sadly
turned away leaving the dead 10 hi
last, long sleep.
