kin, Anderson, Jr., were held last
Sunday afternoon at the Presby terian
church by the Willing Workers, of
which he was n member. Eight boys
and girls took part in the program OF
songs and recitations. The touching
and effective service was arranged
by Mrs. w. p. Reid, the leader of the
Band Of Willing Workers. There
were forty members present, and a
large number Of friends, TO witness
the exercises, which proved beau
tiful tribute to the worth OF Ruskin
as a member. Miss Floride Propst
delivered the following beautiful eu-
logy:
1--WE are gathered together to-day
to pay tribute to one Of our num-
Der who now sleeps his last sleep.
The occasion IS one that fills our
hearts with sadness. The death OF
Ruskn Anderson not only caused n
vacancy in our ranks, but has left an
aching void In our hearts.
"As a member of our little band
he was always cheerful; possessed Of
courage and manliness, his bright
smile cast a glow of sunshine after
all. The spark Of life has been ex-
tinguished here only to be rekindled
In that blissful realm above. He is
gone. but not forgotten.
He was a member of the Boy
Scouts, and as such displayed that
courage which in maturer years
ripens into heroism. During his III
ness 1t was only necessary to remind
him Of this, and the things which at
first seemed hard for him to do be-
came easy, and he yielded a cheerful
obedience. We, together with his
loved ones, mourn his death.
"As we place this wreath of our
esteem upon his little mound we drop
the silent tear Of sympathy for his
dear bereaved ones"
