EULCGY OF ELE<lINSI


Senator EllSins was noted man in
early life, and was scarcely at his best
when the final summons came. He
was just in the early afternoon of life
and was best qualified to grapple with
its sternest problems and be the most
useful to his fellow men. Man pre-
poses, but God dlsposes. We make
our plans, but they are not always for
the best. and wise Providence often
overrules them. We may wonder why,
but that is not for us to know. 1t is
enough for us to know that there is
a God supreme, and that all of us
should bow submissively to His will.
The way is often dark.
1t is dark today to some of us. The
pail hangs heavily over the dead
statesman's household, but God willed
1T thus, and all should bow reverently
to His decree. When the golden bowl
is broken and the silver cord Is
loosened, we pause, we wonder and
we weep. We drop our tears. we
pour out our sympathies. But tears
and sympathies only aggravate the
wounds, unless out of the surround
ing darkness we can by faith in the
unseen believe that Gods sunshine
win some day drive away these clouds.
Just how much life means words

senetGf Elkins is no more. He has
gone from the throrg of the living to
mingle with the millions that have
gone before. When king is dethron-
ed his subjects rejoice, but when a
great man dies the people mourn. A
tall cedar has fallen, and gloom per-
vades not only the state of West Nir-
glnia but the notion as well, because
his fame was nation-wide. His sun
went down soon after It reached the
horizon and began receding toward
the West. When 1T settled. beyond our
visions. darkness fell upon thousands
of devoted and admiring friends. 1t
was Gods will, not ours, that his sun
should set before due evening-tide had
come. He could not prevent its set
ting, nor could his friends prevent it.
All we could do was to stand and
watch and wait. We stood until the
light went out, while he met the issue
as only the strong and brave and
great could do. We believe new and
brighter sun arose beyond the setting
OF his earthly life. We believe that
death does not end all.

was man of faith in his creator
which was sufficiently abiding to +

or vain boastings OF religious expert

mankind. During all his life he ex-
empltled the human side of religion
by doing what he believed to be right.
In this respect his. faith was fixed.
His purposes were strong. His devo-
ton to duty and to the unseen was as
unsaltering as the stars. There is
nothing more to be admired in this
life than a manly man. His constant
purpose was to lift all persons with

Senator Elkins Is entitled to more
credit than most men who achieve
distinction in life, because he was self
made, lie was thessole architect of
his great career he had the stick
toitiveness to work his way through
the University of Missouri, because he,
although then a mere youth, saw the
necessity of college education If he
hoped to reach distinction among his
fellows. Next he served his country
as soldier in the war OF the rebel
lion; then he became lawyer and
located in the then Territory OF New
Mexico for the practice of his pro-
fession shortly thereafter he became
its attorney general; then Its United
States. attorney, and next for the term
OF foar years It's REPRESENTATIVE in

displayed unusual ability which led
him on to still greater achievements.

the shock and surprise of a sudden
