The pastor, Rev. E. G.. Henke Of the
Presbyterian church, led in prayer or
invocation, after which the Melzl

The scripture lesson was from the
gospel of ST. John, IA. Rev. Henke
spoke from the words Of the Saviour
in John 1877: What | do now thou
knowest not now, but thou shalt
know hereafter" The minister said
in part:
There is mystery about all Of our
life as well as death and the future.
Many things we do not understand
about ourselves as Others-character
and personality which God himself re-
spects and would have us reverence.
Mr. Ringing had the respect of his
employees. While he required good
service he appreciated it also. He
was loyal to his family and shared in
their responsibility. To his home
folks he was affectionate and solicit
GUS for their every welfare and COM
fort In his sickness he was most pa
tient and accomplishing, trying to
make it easier for all. He was very
patriotic, kept the flag flying and took
of the Liberty loans generously. Those
about him saw real kindness and
thoughtfulness in his character and
the early influences of the religion of
his parents in their belief in the good
ness of God.
After prayer of comfort the quar-
let sang a chant. Gene to Me-" The
Masonic service was then read by J.
S. Briscoe, followed by the quartet
