and man became a living SOUL"
Man is a complex being in his
unity. With reference to his
personality, he is one; with re-
ference to his substance, he is
two. His body is of the earthly:
his spirit is of God. His body |
was smade created; his spirit was
not created but breathed out
from the almighty; it is kin to
him-''in his image. |
~ We speak of death of men de-
parting this life. That means
that the body only dies and goes
back to the earth. the spirit does
not die, cannot die, for life and
personality has an unbroken
continuity Of existence in life
here and hereafter. 1t would be
nearer the fact in the case if we
had accustomed ourselves to
speak. instead of death. to say
the spirit has put off the body.
The body, tor q time, ceased to
be as such. but the living per-
sonality continues beyond the
putting off of the body in sun-
broken life.
The memorial idea carries with
liz belief in Immortality ty-life be-
yond this visible existence. This
is what invests our memorial Gus.

Four Transactions Recorded
and Insignificant Changes
in Quotations Posted.

Four transactions were recorded on
the Washington Stock Exchange today
one was $500 in washington Gas per
cents at 81. one was a $1,000 Washing
ton Railway and Electric 4 per cent bond
at S01h. and the others were two shares
of United States Trust stock at SO and
fifty shares OF washington Railway pre-
ferred at 1874.
A fair attendance Of brokers greeted
President Hume as he called the ex-
change to order, but the members could
not get up much life in the heat and
humidity OF the summer atmosphere.
There was weak effort TO effect some
trading. President Hume even announc-
ing his firm belief that Washington Gas
stock would sell at IS before the fall Of
snow. but The trading was lacking. and
the tendency seemed TO be 10 let things
drift. so that prices in a number of
instances were pegged lower than they
have recently been.
Considerable Interest attaches TO the
quarterly meeting OF tho directors OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, which met yesterday, but
whatever may have been done Is closely
were met today with the answer that
only routine business was attended TO.
William Loeb, Jr., Secretary 10 the
President, came over from oyster Bay
TO attend The meeting, but II was as
serted by a high official of the company
today that his presence at the board
meeting was not at all significant.

market at prevailing prices.
