expressed the belief that the body
would be called from the grave, joined
with the spirit and made a living soul.
While the corruptlble had undergone
a change, the spirit was not dead. The
part that was able to think, that knew,
still lived. He said that after look
ing at the deceased he could not but
feel that Bro. Merrill was taking a
sweet rest-he did not appear as one
dead.
Words euIOgistic' OF the dead

Lund said Bro. Merrill had never
faltered-he had tried to do his duty
as God gave 1t to him, and as he un-
derstood Il. He expressed the GER
tainty that none In Israel had been
more faithful. During seventeen

Elder Geo. A. Smith

felt that IL was an honor to Join in CIV
ing praise TO him who had departed
mot only Richmond and Cache mourn
but all Israel, said the speaker. "In
England when the king is dead it is
said by his faithful subjects the king
Is dead, long live the kingn So |
would say long live Bro Merrill in
his children 1t has been two years
since he has been in counsel with the
quorum and he was sadly missed" In
speaking OF the personal traits of the
deceased, Elder Smith said he had
never met man prouder Of his family
than was Bro, Merrill. The deceased
had said to him at one time that he
had rot child who was not keeping
the commandments of God and that
every child rendered him tribute Of
love and repect.
Following reference to +, e worth
OF the pioneers, in which Bro. Merrill
had taken a foremost part, Elder
Smith detailed how it was that Bro.
Merrill aud Others when they heard
the gospel call left home, friends, fam,
lilies, wife and children. They left all
and came to Zion, The heart pangs
were many, the separation brought it's
anguish, and privations made life al
most unbearable. These pioneers
plowed and sowed. They reaped and
saved a little year by year and sent
back across the waters for those left
behind. The children came one by
one, the wife, ana sisters. And here
the speaker pictured the JOY that was

was wise, prudent, discreet, practi
cal man with large experience, one
capable Of giving the best advice. The
quorum loved him. In his life he had
fought the good fight and kept the
faith. Pres. Lund urged the children
and all Others to be as faithful
Following reading OF the vision
that came to the Prophet Joseph and
Sidney Rigdon in which the many
mansions were shown them, the speak
er offered words OF consolation to those
who mourn, saying that Bro. Merrill
was one OF the kind that is sure to
reign In the highest mansions at the
head of great and glorious prosper
ity. In foreign land Bro. Merrill
had accepted the gospel, had received
the gift of the Holy Ghost by the lay
ing on Of hands and had tried to show
in life that baptism was in him a new
birth. He held the gospel dear, lived
it, and tried by example and word
to teach Others to live It, Because he
obeyed the Gospel he will be entitled
to be with God. Pres, Lund said he
felt even then that Bro. Merrill had
met with friends he knew and was al
ready welcomed as one who had been
faithful The speaker urged that
every one so live that he may ear
stronger testimony each day
In speaking OF Apostle Merrllls en-
ergy he cited the magnificent taber-
nacle in which the services were being
held as a monument to that energy.
The deceased hoped to live to see the
tabernacle finished, but the Lord saw
fit to take him. Pres. Lund asked
for Gods blessings on the family and
expressed the hope that the children
and grandchildren would emulate the
life of Bro Merrill.

Funeral Service Held in RichmOnd'S New
Tabernacle, Which he had Fathered.
A Very Large Number Listen to EuIo-
9ies Of Deceased by Apostles.

Apostle Merrill's funeral service at
Richmond Saturday was attended by
a larger number Of people than could
get within the walls Of the magnifi
cent tabernacle ne fathered and
brought almost to completion. 1t was
estimated by Apostle Lyman,as he sat
on the stand. that there were about
1900 people In the building, and very
large number had been unable to
crowd within the sacred precincts. A
special train from Wellsyille to Rich
mond carried 500 people to the north
ern town and hundreds more had driv-
en- from the various towns Of the coun-
ty. Though the tabernacle was I'M
finished, 1t had been made as comfort
able as possible and while it was ex-
tremely cold throughout the building,
the people sat and stood in perfect
quietude during the. rather long ser.
vice. 1t was Apostle Merrill's great
hope that he might see this SAC, ZOO
structure entirely complete, and final.
ly when ne saw this would not be
granted, he expressed the desire that
his funeral service be held there
Workmen had made strenuous effort
and it was possible to honor this re.

OF the twelve, said he had been with
Bro. Merrill week before and with
Ruhlon S. Wells had blessed him by
laying on Of hands as spirit indicated.
He said he had been glad TO know
Apostle Merrill and listened to his
counsels and fatherly advice with
great pleasure and profit He felt
some sorrow but no regret, no re-
morse at the passing of the brother,
for he had served God with all his
might, mind and strength, and he had
served and loved his neighbor as
himself. For such man, no sorrow,
no regrets need be felt In Apostle
Merrill the speaker saw a man OF
years, ripe In experience, and he was
glad to note that great posterity
was left to perpetuate him. Elder
Smith said that mans greatness is
not always to be measured by what he
has accomplished. IL the children take
up the work and continue in faithful.
ness, this more than many things
establishes that the father was great.
Zone OF the saddest things in this life
is TO see sons of great men who labored
in the cause turn away from the faith
when their father is gone. 1t is a
a terrible thing to see them turn
from the truth, deny the teaching and
example of the father and apostatize
from the gospel. Bro. Merrill will
suffer If he sees his sons and daughters
breaking asunder and drifting from
the truth their father so dearly loved.

spoke of Prof. Merrlls love TOR his
family and said the deceased had
many times expressed himself as be-
log proud of his children. The speak
err had known the Apostle seven years,
and in noting the changes that have
occurred in the church In that time
mentioned the death Of Snow, Can
non, Richards, Brigham Young Jr.,
A. G. Woodruff and now M. w. Mer-
rill, total of six Of the council.
THE changes come rapidly" said the
speaker. BRO Merrill was a strong
character, and wise councillor as
President, Bishop and Apostle. He
was active, progressive, and his years
we're filled with good work. lie &C
complished good work in the temple
both for the living and the dead. Bro.
Merrill was spiritually minded and
had many wonderful manifestations. :"
At this point the speaker said he
would tell of a particular incident in
the life of Apostle Merrill, one the
Apostle told him and which lie
thought had not been told TO the pub
lie before. This event took place
some time after the death OF NJ. w.
Merrill Jr., beloved son and in sub
stance Apostle Clawson said; BRO.
Merrill at that time was President of
the Logan temple. 1t seemed that he
could not be reconciled to the loss OF
his sson and mourned him daily.
AS he sat in the temple one day think
ing OF his boy, his head bowed in sor-
row he heard voice. He knew there
was no one in tile rooms near him,
and as he heard the voice he looked in
the direction from whence the sound
came but saw no one. The voice said
TO him. "Father do you know
me?" YES" he replied, you are my
son Mariner " Father / have been per-
mitted to come and see you. i have
noticed that you are very much grew
ed at my death. and can't be reconci-
ed, but father grieve no more. 1t is

haven't much time to stay with you
but don't greive any more"
The speaker drew from this testi.
mony that there are two worlds, spir-
itual and temporal and that the spirit
ual is as busy as temporal. "When
we are needed there We will be sent
for. 1t teaches that there is a great
work beyond. 1t teaches that Prof.

Pres. Lyman


figured out that there were In the
tabernacle about 1900 people, and said
that II was Bro. Merrill's great desire
TO see the tabernacle finished. and to
be buried from 1t as we'll He had
many times expressed that hope, and
1t was indeed most fitting that the
funeral service over his remains was
held there. Pres. Lyman said he
could lend his hearty endorsement to
the many good things that had al
ready been said, and could say many
more himself, but doubted the advis-
ability on account OF the time already
consumed, the waiting train, and cold
room. The speaker continued few
minutes, however He said that Bro.
Merrill had done his work, and that
there Is. a considerable difference be-
tween finishing ones work and COM
Ing to the end of life. BRO. Merrill
had done his work for his family.
for the people OF the county, and
with church In spiritual and temporal
matters. He was. an all round man
and enjoyed the love and confidence
OF all his brethren. No man In the val

Of the people than did Pres. Mer.
rill. He didn't belong altogether to
Richmond, but TO the valley and to
Logan. Forty.six years ago ne came
to this valley and from that time till
his death was closely identified with
its development In various capacities.
He performed his duties we'll and was
as perfect as man can be perfect. We
have heard from the other speakers
as to what his destiny will be.
He Is alright-he endured to the end
and will SIT forever Prince at the
head Of his posterity. He is royal
descendant OF Abraham and Adam,
who was the son Of God. He was a
great and good man, not dlminutive
In nature, but broad and fearless.
God bless the family and all who are
here"
Bishop Merrill thanked the people
for their attendance, those who had
so kindly lent assistance, especially
those who labored so hard to prepare
the tabernacle. The choir sang
Somewhere" and a prayer by Elder
Cannon ended the service. Those
who came on the special train were
permitted to leave the building first.
The remains were then conveyed to
the cemetery and laid to rest.
During the service M. J, Ballard Of
Logan sang most alIectlngly II know
that My Redecmer Lives" Sister
Fanny Thomas also sang, REST Thee
Sad Heart" Before the service hun
dreds viewed the remains at the
Apostles home.

other capacities, had ever been proud
OF him and had found II possible to
enter into his feelings with perfect
harmony. In his opinion N. W. Mer-
rill was one OF the stalwarts and said
that evidence OF his energy Is to be
fo,rpd on every hand In Cache. He
was an able leader, successful in work
and counsel The spirit Of the Lord
was with him. and in his management
of his family, IN ms county positions
and in the legislature, as railroad
builder and In his connection with the
temple he had proved himself sue
cessful man The speaker said he had
found Bro. Merrill a man Of spiritual
mind and that he had manifested
many things for his benefit and the
peoples as well. lie felt that the
counsel OF the deceased would be
greatly missed, as he was man OF
good common sense and led by the
spirit.
Elder Penrose said that IL was ever
sad TO say good bye. but he felt
spirit OF exultation that Bro. Merrill
had gone TO mingle with the just and
true beyond the vale. He said that as
he looked on the face OF the deceased
he noticed that 10 seemed fuller and
brighter and he doubted not that he
had already been welcomed to his
glorieS. The speaker at this point
outlined the future life, and indicated
Bro. Merrill's position. lie said that
he had gone to a newer sphere OF labor
and would keep up his work, that the
sphere he now occupies Is wider; that
there Is more preaching and minister
ing TO do than on earth, as myriads OF
those gone before who had not ac-
cepted the gospel must hear 1t. He
said Bro. Merrill's spirit is still an in
telligent entity, just as IL was before
II entered his body, and that IL con.
tinues to labor for the salvation OF
souls.
Apostle Penrose also reviewed the
the belief that the mortal body will
be quickened at the resurrection; that

the corruptible will be taken away
and this vile body fashioned like that
OF the Savior. He urged that all will
be Judged by the deeds done In the
body and that all should serve God,
and follow the great men who have
done he Lords viii Apostle Pen
rose closed his talk with blessing up
on the family and the expressed hope
that all the deceased's wives and
posterity NAV understand they can in
truth meet him If they are but
worthy.

was deeply impressive and presldeH
over by Bishop Thomas IIazen Merrill,
son. Various of the Apostolic
quorum with numerous other stake
and ward officials were seated on the
rostrum, together with the choir,
which, as an opening selection, sang

Elder Samuel Roskelly, of Smithfeld
offered prayer, following which, the
