unable TO attend the services.
President Smith spoke of his ac-
| quaintance with the deceased, which
had begun I'm the early sixties In the
Liverpool office. He had then adj
mired the ability of the deceased, his
cheerfulness and willingness to per-
form every duty devolying upon him.
Again on q later mission President
Smith had renewed the acquaintance,
and had become more appreciatlve of
the gifts that had been bestowed on
Elder Graham by the Giver OF all good.
Since that time he had admired Elder
Graham as being man OF integrity In
addition to being man Of ability and
energy.
President Smith read from the Gospel
or 81 John the description of the res
direction of the Savior, and from the
Gospel of St Luke the appearance of
the Savior TO the two disciples who
)ourneyed to Emmaus, Here was por-
trayed IN Its true character the resur-
rection OF Christ, and as He was res,
directed so would every soul who had
descended from Adam be- resurrected or
changed. Christ had shown the way
and had passed through that which all
would have to pass through, to become
associated with Him. 1t was a source
OF happiness to President Smith TO
know that some time he again would
have the pleasure of meeting his friend
John &. Graham. Not some one else
or In some other form: but as he had
known him here, In a state where they
would not see corruption. President
Smith spoke further Of the purpose OF
the Lord In sending His children to the
earth, that they might become heirs OF
God and Joint heirs with Jesus Christ.
This was great consolation in the
hour OF bereavement and these princi-
pies which assured us that we should
again come forth. were something
with iNIHs lOIi anu nothing nut sir
could deprive Gods children OF these
blessings. He closed by exhorting the
family to follow the example of Slider
Graham In his integrity to the Gospel.
