One whose :ylnpatniCr axe MT

he has no sympathy Tor any one cy-
cept the mother who is bending over
Il helpless sick babe. While that is
very pathetic sight. one which will cx
cite the sympathy Cv"I oc those whose
hearts are not responsive to the daily
wall OF sorrow. yet we believe that the
railing OF Il young man or woman in
mr. e. -.
ties Is equally ai sad. and one which
touches the hcaIt with equally as
strong demand To-: sympathy. We
stand this morning in the presence
OF the broken column OF youth. wnicn

non and which stool n the threshold
of lifc's great temple. Ecforc the
eyes OF him whose memory we honor

He had just enirrc,: partly upon it's
beginning. Hc'had been receiving to
inspiration Of his first successes and
these were pushing him on towards
greater achievements. His career was
