Man, that is born or woman" he
said, hath but a short time to live
and is full of misery. He cometh up,
and is cut down like a flower: he
neeth as it we're a shadow and never
continueth in one stay.
In the midst of life we are in
death: of whom may we seek for
succor, but of thee, o Lord, who for
our sins are justly displeased?
. yet, o Lord God most holy, o
Lord most mighty, o holy and most
merciful Saviour, deliver us not into
the bitter pains of eternal death.
'fThou knowest, Lord, the secrets
aof- our hearts; shut not Thy merciful
ears to our prayer; but spare US, Lord
most holy, o God most mighty, o holy
and mercifuI Saviour, thou most
worthy Judge eternal, suffer us not,
at our last hour, for any pains Of
death, to fall from Thee"

"Forasmuch as it hath pleased Al
mighty God, in His wise providence,
to take out of this world the soul of
our deceased sister, we therefore
commit her body to the ground; earth
to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust;
looking for the general resurrection in
the last day, and the life of the world
to come, through our Lord Jesus
Christ: at whose second coming in
glorious majesty to Judge the world,
the earth and the sea shall give up
their dead; and the corruptible bodies

Rev. Henry Bond Restarick, Bishop of
Honolulu, said the final graveside
prayers for the late queen:
Almighty God,'' he said, with
whom do live the spirits of those who
depart hence in the Lord, and with
whom the souls Of the faithful, after
they are delivered from the burden OF
the flesh, are in joy and felicity; we
give Thee hearty thanks for the good
examples of all those Thy servants,
who, having finished their course IN
faith, do now rest from their labors.
And we beseech Thee, that we, with
all those who are departed in the true
faith of Thy holy name, may have our
perfect consummation and bliss, both
in body and soul, in Thy eternal and
everlasting glory; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen"

Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Resur-1
rection and the Life; in whom whose

die: and whosoeyer liveth, and be-
lieyeth in Him, shall not die eternally;
who also hath taught US, by His holy
Apostle Saint Paul, not to be sorry,
as men without hope, for those who
sleep in Him; we humbly beseech|
Thee, o Father, to raise us from the
death OF sin unto the life of righteous
ness: that, when we shall depart this
life, we may rest in Him; and that, at
the general resurrection in the last
