God. II we but think, we know that
for her is the realization OF the re-
ward for which she strove. that no
more II she in bondage OF a physical
body and that she is forever free from
all the things that vex and worry, all
the things that make your heart heavy
and which make mine ache with re-
greet or disappointment.
1--WE are so selfish about death. We
count our grief far more than we con-
slider their relief and we forget that
to them this change means life. Il
Is like the sunset hour when the busy
day still fingers on the earth, bowed
down with the weight Of sin and sor-
row with which In one brief day the
sons OF men have ladened her. Night
then comes down noise1essly from
heaven to lay her soft hands on weary
human eyes and lead them into
dreamland to rest from toll and care.
So with this last sleep, it is to waken
to perfect joy, to perfect life. A
service such as this must impress us
with the value Of good woman's
life and OF how large q place these
daughters filled in the home and COM
munity life.
when We think OF our friends who
are no longer here, we wonder what
sort OF country lies beyond the valley
of the shadow. I once heard a min
lister with careful accuracy compute
from the book OF Revelations the
exact size of that city which lieth
four square and whose gates are OF
pearl. My mind confused by the maze
Of figures turned to the more familiar
picture Of a city which needs not the
light Of the sun for the glory Of God
did tighten It. 1t isaa comfort to hui
man minds to think Of It rs place
where we shall know and be known.
Very recently Mrs. Sawyer's father.
Dr. George F. Jenkins, man widely
known professionally, man of lofty
ideals and spotless integrity, passed
from earth to join her.
When We 60 home, know It's so,
From out the shades OF long ago
Will come the friends we lost below,
When we go home"

legation of alleged conniyancs he
tween the police department and
criminals.
Halpin and Tobin were denoted and
removed to remote police districts on
direct orders OF Mayor Harrison. Thu

that Hsipin ard Tobin were hamper
ing his grand jury probe. Through
their influence over the department

vented detectives from giving him
valuable information.

ors had raided the detective depart
ment and carried before the grand
jury two wagon loads Of records OF
