from the home OF Former Governor L.
Bradford Prince This house was the

/ cally had they been arranged. The
flowers came from the Clarendon gar
dens. The casket was covered with
roses, and everywhere the eye rested
! were the sweet smeling tokens OF re-
spect and love for the dead jurist
! The services were opened by sing.
ing the hymn Nearer My God to
Thee after which the Rev. F. w.
Pratt of the Episcopal church of the
Holy Faith said prayer Then former
Governor Prince who had known Judge
knaebel for SO many years and had
been instrumental in the judges visit
to Santa Fe which led to his residing
here, and later in Denver, spoke feel
ingly OF his friend. In fact the for.
mer governor spoke with such feel
ing that several times it seemed as
though the would not be able to finish
his address.
Following Mr.. Prince, Attorney A.
B. Renehan read a preface to the
euology which he read at the request
OF Arthur Knaebel and Ernest Knae-
bel sons of the Judge. Mr.. Renehan's
remarks We're gracefully phrased and
struck note OF sincerity which made
them all the more appreciated. Then
Mr.. Renehan read the following
eulogy, the beauty of which appealed
to every one who heard it:
The Eulosy.
If speak with the tongues of men
and OF angels but have not love, ! am
become sounding brass or a changing
cymbal. And if l have the gift of
prophecy, and know all mysteries and
all knowledge; and if I have all faith
SO as to remove mountains, but have
not love, | am nothing
And if | bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, and if l give my body
to be burned, but have not love, it
profiteth me nothing.
| Love suffereth long and is kind;
love envieth not; love vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up. Doth not be-
have itself unseemly, seeketh not it's
own, is not provoked; taketh not ac-
count of evil. Rejoiceth not in un-
righteousness, but rejoiceth with the
truth. Beareth all things, believeth
/ all things, endureth all things.
Love never faileth; but whether
there be prophecies, they shall be
done away; and whether there be
tongues, they shall cease; and wheth.
er there be knowledge, it shall be
done away.

even as also have been known.
But now abideth faith, hope, love,
these three; and the greatest OF these
is love"
If these words of the sainted apos.
tie express the true essence of the
life and teaching of Jesus Christ, the
deceased was Christian, though he
made no professions and adhered to
no sect. Nature endowed him with
mind such as she bestows upon few
men and with many graces, and tai
ents, and powers of achievement; but
better than all of these was what she
distilled into his noble heart The
JOY of his life was in loving and in
being loved.

the sacred convictions of others, and
too big for either dogma or negation.
He believed in the immortality of the
soul. God was in all things and all
