his God and great love for his fellow
man, and his greatest satisfaction was
in labor well done. In life he was
a successful man in serving God and
in helping his fellow man TO live bet
ter life.
President Anton II. Lund said that
he had met with the people TO pay re-
spect TO the mortal remains OF a good
man, man whose word could be re-
lied on, who always did his duty. OF
all the Scandinayians who had received
the gospel he felt President Flygare
was the best known and loved. From
one cid of Zion to the other his name
was held in the highest esteem. He
accepted the gospel in his youth and
met much opposition and persecution.
but with it all he was firm to obey the
call OF the Lord. He testified that
President Flygane had gone to associ-
ate with those who have been faithful
and true, as he was rich in good
works, having gathered those riches
around him that will rebound TO his
eternal exhaltation in Gods kingdom
He is one of those who have inherited
celestial glory, having endured faith
fully to the end.

Elder Andrew Jensen, assistant
Church historian, spoke OF his intimate
acquaintance with the deceased
and said that he was one Of
two men in the Church who had been
called on three times to preside over
the Scandinavian mission, duty lie
had performed most faithfully. He had
always been willing to sacrifice all he
had for the gospels sake. He referred
to President Flygare's one time having
been offered by the king of Sweden a
prominent place In the army. but he
declined for the gospels sake. and by
so doing had gathered around him q
family that will be his riches in the
eternal world.
President Joseph II. Smith felt hon
ored in attending the services over one
of Gods noblemen, in whom God and
his children in the world might place
their implicit trust, He said he had
seen with pride President Flygare's in
tegrity in his labors in the presidency
of the Weber stake. and felt that In
his demise the people have lost a noble
character, faithful husband, loving
father and a pure minded citizen.
There is always pain, said he, In the
death Of such noble characters. Those
who have been associated with him
will feel the loss of his advice and the
influence of his strong character. He
has lost nothing. he has secured all.
1t Is we who live who have lost his
presence and character as an example
IN the community where he has lived
20 long. May God bless his family and
give them to know he has secured
unto himself the riches of eternal life.
They are united with him for time
and all eternity. The claim of hus-
band and father Is an endless claim,
sealed under the new and everlasting
covenant, that can only be broken by
sin and transgression. Those who have
received these blessings will come up
on the morning of the resurrection
clothed with glory and eternal life. All
Christians believe in Christ. He shall
lift us up from the grave. for as In
Adam all die. so also in Christ shall
all be made alive again. The Latter
day Saints believe in q literal resur-
rection. that the body we now possess
will ht called forth out Of the grave.
Mankind can only know the mysteries
OF the resurrection by the Shirt of God.
As God Is eternal SO He DESIGNED that
his children should be eternal. IT ie
unjust to believe that God created man
for these few short years of trouhle
ard then to die forever. God sent rIis
children on earth that thev miTht at
