Spoke at Funeral of James
Standing beside the bier of the dead
outlaw. Judge Philips said:
From my many conversations with
m | learned that he believed in the
uivine authenticity Of the Bible. He
believed in the divinity of Jesus and
had sublime faith that his sins were
forgiven ana that he was the recip-
lent Of Gods mercy. and that his soul
was saved. He told me that he did
not join a church because that act
would be miscoustrue the world
would look upon it az some sort Of
hypocrisy, As being done for show.
He did not believe that it was neces-
sary to join church. Knowing that
he had been saved by gace. beliey-
ing that this was a matter between
his own heart and God alone, he did
not think that religious services we're
necessary at his funeral. He met
death serene and unafraid, confident
of the future.
Just a few weeks before his death
had a letter from him reminding
me of my promise to make his funer-
al address. lie said in that letter that
ne felt the end was near that he was
ready and was not afraid to 60"
A Wonderful Orator
A wonderful orator was Judge
Philips, with gift Of touching the
heart strings when he wished to.
There was an example of this when
he retired from the federal bench in
1910 after twenty-five years Of SER
vice there. He said:
"As stand here. far down the

the words of that great Democrat
and statesman. Grover Cleveland: Il
