DIR. Burk's death has cast gloom over
the entire community. The only COM
pensation we can find for our loss lies in the
thought that it is his gain. He has been
most constant, yet patient sufferer for many
years and is now at rest. Universally
loved and respected by all classes and creed
he was the counsellor, advisor and friend of
young and old, rich and poor, and withall
gifted by the Creator with wonderful
brain, and endowed with breadth of learn
ing seldom met with. His place will in
deed be hard to fill, and While we mourn
our loss we try to repeat the prayer in
which he has so many times led us, .sThy
will be done on Earth as it is in Heavenp.
