LAUDS TWO WHOSE
WORK HAS ENDED
The Rev. DR.. Short Speaks of
Loss Inflicted on State
by Deaths.
GOOD DEEDS WILL LIVE
EXPORTS HEARERS TO PROFIT
BY LESSON OF CHARACTERS.

As a prelude to his evening sermon on
the subject of Justice at the First
Methodist church last night, DIR. Francis
3. Short said:
Two of our most beloved citizens have
recently passed from us into the great
mysterious beyond 1t might not be en-
tirely out of place for US to consider our
loss. | mean by our loss not alone your
loss and mine, but the loss which this
city and. indeed, this state, sustained. For
we must remember that both our friends
were vital factors in the development of
those larger interests which have ever
expressed themselves in the development
and betterment of both our city and our
state.
Il mean by our loss mot that either
were members of this denomination), that
loss which the brotherhood sustains when
even one of its workers for the common
good is called upon to lay aside the toll
and responsibility of this life. And in
this sense this community has suffered
what seems to us a great misfortune.
That prince among men, Fisher Har-
ris, was abundant in labOrs because he
loved Utah and Salt Lake. The entire
strength or his WinsOme personality and
fascinating manner was given in the in
terest of a larger, more peaceful and
better community. He sought to live in
the atmosphere of peace and to promul-
gate the principles which actuated his
own life and the atmosphere in which he
lived. Would that we had a multitude
like him Would that we might all seek
to catch his spirit of gentleness, his love
for the right and good, seek to perpetu-
ate the bond of brotherhood, to develop
the continued spirit of progress until
every discOrdant note among us shall
have been drowned in a veritable dox-
ology of peace and praise.

believe that she was a member of the
Roman Catholic church and as such a
member. was devoted TO the religious be
.iefs Of her childhood. It is surely a beau
tifui thing to have lived and to have kept
the faith in such unmistakable manner
to pass triumphantly out of this life
into the better beyond. Her generous
spirit has passed on to its reward, but
she will not be forgotten. Her good works
will follow her, May her splendid fam
lily ever keep her name fresh and vital
in this community by perpetuating those
works of charity in which she took an
ever increasing delight.
You will probably recall the story of
Dorcas and how that she one day died
and that the people of the neighborhood
came in and looked upon her cold face
The mOurners showed the coats and gar
ments which Dorcas made while she was
with them. You will recall yet another
story of holy Writ-hoW that one day n
woman broke an alabaster box of very.
precious ointment and poured il upon the
head of our Lord. How very much like
both these women was Mrs. Mary Judge.
What benefits she has bestowed upon
the needy, with what an open hand she
helped the unfortunate and with what
great delight she has made her gifts unto
her Lord.
such characters as these that have
passed away so recently, because of their
conspicuous contributions (the one of him
self. the other of her wealth. to the vel
fare of human need and their devotion
TO that larger and better understanding
among men-such characters are rare and
rich and royal and they merit our kind
ly thought and continued esteem. Thank
God that they have lived and. since they
have passed on to their reward, let us
thank God that others remain and pray
him that the number of the good. the
progressive, the hopeful and the charitable
may ever increase among US
