INGERs0LL AT \ CHILD's GRAVE

The foIloWin4 pl9Jion, delivered in Washington. D. c., January s, 1882. was recently printed in tho Kansas City Star, and Is reprinted here by request:
 My Friends: l know now vain il Is to gild grief with words, and yet | wish to take from every grave it's fear. Here in the world where life and death are equal kings, all should be brave enough to meet what all the dead have met. The future has been filled with fear, stained and polluted by the heart less past From the wondrous trees of life the buds and blossoms fall with ripened fruit, and in the com mon bed. of earth palriarchs and babes sleep side by side
 Why should we fear that which will come to all that is? We can not say that death is not a good. We do not know whether the grave is the end of this life or the door of another, or whether the night here IS not somewhere else a dawn. Neither can we tell which is the more fortunate-the child dying in its mothers arms, before its lips have learned to form a Word CT he who journcyed all the length of Iife's uneven road, painfully taking the last slow steps with staff and crutch.
 ENory cradle asks us "Whence?" ]ad every coffin "WhiCher?" The poor barbarian, weeping above his dead, can answer these question, just as we'll as the robcd priest of the most authentic creed The tear iul .ABrance of the one is as con- 'oliIe s6 the learned and uumean-
 ns WCSSe of the other. No man.
 .tandln. where the horizon of a fife has touched grave has any
 fight to prophecy future filled NiIl pain and tears,
 May be that death gives all there
 $ of worth to life. If those we press and strain within our arms 'ould never die, perhaps that love would WHher from the earth. May De this common fate treads from put the paths between our hearts the weeds of selfishness and hate. tnd had rather live and love where death is king than have eter- nal life where love is not. Another life IS nought unless we know and love again the ones who love us here.
 They who stand with breaking hearts around this little grave need nave no fear The larger and the nohlor faith in all that N and ie to be tells us that death, even at it's worst, is only perfect rest. We know that through inc common wants of lifeline needs and duties ot each hour their grief will les sen day by day until al last this grave will he to them place of rest and peace-almost of joy. There. is for them this consolation
 -the dead do not suffer. If they live again. their lives will surely he a good as ours. We have no fear We are all children of fhe same and the same fate awaits us as all We. foo, have our religion. ana Il IS this: Help for the living Nope for the dead.
