here 10 remember those who by their
fidelity ability and courage made possl-
BILE the trumphs of the greatest rail-
road king. They have for their requiem;
the wheels and the thunder of mighty
engines And. could they speak, they
would choose TO be remembered By loved
ones and friends in quiet place Ike
this than by the formal tribute paid TO
theit chief. We dignity ourselves when
we choose to come into the silence and and
drop a tear for those who lived and
worked in constant danger.
Fraught With Danger.
Continuing. the Rev, Mr.. Simpk!n said
that no other avocaton was so fraught
with danger as was the life OF the rail-
road man-that no soldier who laid down
his life on the field OF battle was Drawer
than the man at the throttle, the man
with the scoop, or the man at the rear
end OF the train. He then paid beauti- :
full tribute TO the personal qualities OF
their high ability, their open-hearted
Charity. their broad view of life, their
fearlessness and their faith in the Eter-
nal Father. He told OF only few months
of an engineer who had received fatal
injuries In the discharge OF his duties.
and who said as he realized the end was
approachins: am satisfied ! Just
not afraid 10 go out into the tomorrow.
This abiding faith. said the speaker,
was characteristic OF the brave men who
had laid down their lives In their service,
regardless of their creed or their DrOIeS-
sion of religion He concluded With the
expression Of comfort 10 the bereaved
that they might confidently look forward
with certainty to again seeing the faces
OF their loved ones.
