MUCH COMMENT ON
FUNERAL GRAFTON
Archbishop of York's Ad-
dress Over Those Killed
i'm Naval Raid

Scarborough. England. December 81
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
The funeral Grafton over the bodies of
those killed in the recent German naval
raid on this city was delivered by the
Archbishop of York. Because of its dig
nifty, simplicity and brevity. the news
papers compare 1t with Lincoln's Gettys-
burg address. He said:
''Grief, sympathy, Indignation, all of
them sincere and over1owing-these are
the emotions which bind us together to-
day. But they will move US, not to more
distress or excitement or alarm. but
rather to a more quiet and determined
resolution that we, to whom an expert
ence so strange and terrible has come,
will not fail our country at this time
of need.
I'VE shall be only the more eager to
prove by our steadiness, our calmness,
our determination, that we are ready
to meet the calls which at this solemn
time our country makes upon us. These
men and women and children whose loss
we are assembled here this morning to
mourn will not have died in vain. Their
death brings to us in this country at a
time when perhaps we have some need
of It a quick vivid sense of the dread
realities of war, not in order that they
should alarm us, but in order that they
should prepare us to steel our hearts
for the inevitable sacrifices which great
war demands.
IT am sure that this death of those
who shared the life of this town with
YOU will move, as perhaps nothing else
could have moved, the heart of the man

that the cause for which they suffer
will be the more eagerly, and with more
Helf-denying chivalry. taken up and car
ried through by the strength of the men
who remain"
The Archbishop of York recently has
been the target for criticism by news
papers because of hts defense of the EN-
peror William. He made protest
against cartoons of the Kaiser, saying
that he was great man of whose friend
ship the archbishop was proud.

Psychology in America

From the Wall Street Journal.
Some considerable time ago the peo-
pie Of one of the greatest nations of
the earth were instructed, by one of
their foremost authorities, that the
sensation of vacancy In their personal
interiors was merely psychological.
Having, fundamentally, a considerable
respect for their rulers and governors,
they concealed a smile; and proceeded
to do the best they could. where what
they optimistically cal their represent
tatives would let them.
But since the election there is a
change, which might fairly be called
psychological, If the word had not been
dragged down to the level of the comic

IF SKIN ITCHES

For years, common bold sulphur has
occupied secure position In the treat
ment of cutaneous affections, by reason
of its parasite destroying property. 1t
Is not only parasiticidal. but also anti

healing in irritable and inflammatory
conditions of the skin.
The moment you apply it to an Itch

and the healing begins. says a noted

such prompt and remarkable results,
even in aggravated Eczema that it is
a never-ending source of amazement to
physicians.
While not always establishing a per-
manent cure 1t never fails to subdue
the angry itching and irritation and
heal the Eczema right up and it is
often years later before any eruption
again appears on the skin.
Any good pharmacist will supply an
ounce of bold sulphur which should
be applied to the irritated or In

particularly when the eruption is ac-
eompanied with itching.

the most striking scenes illustrated may
be enumerated as follows.
The birth of Christ; the flight from
Egypt; the Master in the temple His
being taught by Joseph, his foster-father;
His baptism In the river Jordan; walk
ing upon the water; healing the Grip
pied; making the blind see: raising the
dead; converting the water into wine the
Last Supper; His betrayal by Judas;
Christ before Plate trudging up the
mount with the cross; the crucifixion on
Mount Calvary; the descent from the
cross; the burial, the resurrection, with
the disciples on the mountain; the ascen-
sion and many others too numerous to
chronicle.
BY way of explanation, 1t may be well
to state that the subject has been handled
with delicacy and devout reverence; so as
TO give no offense to the most refined ma
ture, even in the most vital scenes where
the Master is represented performing the
acts chronicled in the Bible.
