Whatever errors of omission or com
mission that had crept into his percep-
tibly stainless life were absolved and
he was ready to walk with the Father
of Saints and the Brother of Man.
Mr.. Turpin spoke grateful remem-
brance of the life and character Of
Clarence Fry, saying that by the mem
bers of tho Century club he was
known as friend, loved as a brother,
respected as a man and his memory
is now cherished as a hero. He said
that to the patriots of al ages should
be accorded just tribute, the friends
of Clarence Fry know that no more
earnest devotion to duty was ever
treasure was ever laid upon the altar
of human rights than when this young
man from Columbia was called into
the beyond.
Clarence Fry sleeps today on his
field of glory" said Mr.. Turpin, "and
we would bid him rest; for 1t would
seem that the angel of death simply
passed near him to'touch the hem Of
his garments TO make them holy, and
that the hand of accident but stretched
over him to make the sign of the
Cross upon his soul"
Mr.. Dining's address was in keep
ing with the Junior Order represented
by him-filled with the highest ideals
of patriotism. With eloquence he re.
viewed those principles and declared
that Clarence Fry was a true exemp-
lar of them. Several weeks ago when
the Juniors unfurled their service
flag there was a star for this young
hero and Mr. Dining was one of the
speakers at that service. He said
that then he pointed to the day when
one of the stars on the flag would
turn to gold. He did not know who
it would be. But now the whole com
munity is mourning the death of this
young man. Being the first to fall
on a field overseas his death would
make a deeper impression upon the
