The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1917-06-21

perisha BILE beauty, and hallow
the tomo with their incense. Not
every man, though, is gifted with
eloquence, and may gather the
roses or paradise with which to
honor the dead. Some have only
halting, STUN bling words of appre
citation and love of the one who
has gone, but the field flowers
folded in the still hands in the
humble coffin may mean more of
sorrow and of loss than the
bot house lilies laid upon the
catafalque of dead king.
Thus q Methodist Circuit rider,
who travelled through rural part
of one of our adjoining states,
tells a pr tty and pathetic story
of funeral he once witnessed in
a backwoods neighborhood: GAS
he entered the rude cabin, there
ware number of people sitting
around the walls of the room, and
IN the middle near a plain boaId
coffin stood a man. 1t was the
hus band of the dead woman, for it
was the custom in The days of long
ago. for the husband to make the
funeral in the absence of preach
er. Presently the man began
speaking in a husky voice: My
ends he said, you all know |
Amt much on speaking, but you
knew Suke. She wuz Jest as faith
ful to me as yaller dog and he
sat down in silence and in tears.
That was all. 1t was the summing
up of all the love and loss of
lifetime. She had given him a
loyalty as fine as any knight ever
gave his king, faith that endured
through good and evil, love that
never faltered through all the ha d
years of the hard lite, and, per-
haps, no woman could have a no
bier tribute laid upon her bier
than that EXPRESSED in the nm
consciously grotesqne phrase 1t
was like bunch of immortelles
laid upon the humble coffin, and
the preacher stole quietly away
without betraying himself, for he
knew he could not comfort the

Faithful Through Life.

Preachers are often criticised for
filing their funeral sermons with
fulsome compliments, and for in
vesting the clay with virtues the
living owners never possessed in
their life, but surely no one would
change the kindly human impulse
that makes us speak only good of
the dead They have gone 80 far
beyond the reach of our praise or
blame the most censorious must
remember mercy at such a time,
and we feel that we may well
withhold our narrow human judg-
ment of those who have gone up
to answer to their God. Whatever
their life has been, however dark
ened with sin or marred by failures,
it is over, The weakness that
vexed US sc much shall vex us no
more. The faults that we have
forgiven SO often we shall never
need to forgive again. Death makes
every man our friend, and so, in
time, like the grass that springs
above the lowliest grave theregrows
up a beautiful charity that hides
the recollection of faults, and leaves
only the memory green and fra
grant. The best of us realizing how
lar our good intentions have out
weighed our faltering deeds, may
be glad that this is SO; that when
we are dead our faults and failures
will not be recollected. against rs.
and we shall sleep the sweeter,
knowing that only kindly words
follow US to our last resting place
In truth there is no more tender or
beautiful custom than that which
makes us stop q moment at the
end of every life to recall its good
deeds, its nobler impulses, it's
better aims, with all that the dead
would wish forgotten, blotted out
by tender mist Of pity. The
greatest orators have found their
best inspiration in such themes,
and upon the bier of comrade.
and friend, aud chieftain, have laid
garlands of poetry that bloom in
