 A prayer service. for Hugh Clark Murray was held at his home at Il o'clock Friday morning by Rev Harry s. McCready, after which the body was taken to the First Cpngregati tional church, where it lay in state during the house of 12 to 1. o'clock, many hun dreds visiting the church. The funeral services, which were most impressive, were held at 2 o'clock and were at- tended by. a large number of relatives, friends and acquaintances. There were many beautiful floral tributes banked about the casket and front of the plat form. Rev. Harry s. McCready. pastor of the church. conducted the services, during which he eulogized the integ- rity, honesty and upright life of Mr. Murray, saying:
 What President Elliott calls the greatest text in the Old Testament What doth, the Lord require fof thee, but to do justly, to love kindness and to walk humbly with thy God?" Per- haps no life known to this community more finly exemplifies these sterling qualities-the qualities of Fundamental religion, essential Christianity. Look at this sheaf of virtues:
 ITO Do Justly" Our brother was the incarnation of honesty; like Abra- ham Lincoln, 1t might be said that he was stubbornly honest. Within the memory of those who knew him most intimately there is no transaction o1 sale which in the light of highest ideals of honor and integrity should 1T any detail be changed. Those who worked for him knew that he insisted upon perfect goods fair prices and exact measure. To exemplify in all o1 ones dealings justice, is to leave to the community an unfading ideal. lasting inSpirat ton.

He hat close friends and he held them; his neighbors and business associates vel comed his kindly greetings on thu street and in the store. I would say 1 that he had the soul of gentleman He was uniformly courteous; he re- fused to speak i'll of those whom h. could not praise; like all true gentle | men, he was democratic; with him { man wa sa man flor a that and a | that" Regardless of color and creed all men alike re@ived just and kindl. | treatment from him. ITO Walk Humbly With Thy God l He would have discfaimed his right t | these words of praise.

And as he lived, he died-quietly beautifully, the transition came; seemed little more than an incident i one of his ordinary. quiet days. He fe asleep but he has walked. You reca those beautiful lines:

 Through pleasant and through cloud

 'Tis hard to- part when friends al

 Perhaps twill cost sigh, a tear; Then steal away, give little warning,
 Choose thine own time;
 Say not Good night" but in som 1 brighter cline,
 Bid me Good morning."
