FUNERAL.
nr. John s. RIaclkmar.


 The funeral of Dr. John S. Black mar was held Tuesday afternoon With a prayer service at 2.3O at h.s late home 24 fOneco street, attended by relatives and close friends. This WIS followed by the services at Park Congregational church of which Dr. Blackmar mad been a devout member. The pastor, Rev. $. H. Howe, DID,, delivered the following address:
 I think I can say we are all here to- day with distinct and poignant sense of loss-loss to the household, loss to his profession, loss to the community and to the church and to the circles of personal friendship. This is the noblest tribute we can pay to a human life when it is lived and ended. Many live, not discreditably either, and go unmiss- ed and unregretted. A few leave US with a sense of unrecoverable loss and unconsoled bereavement.
 This man brought to us an energy and eShilirating enthusiasm, a contage- ous spirit that enabled us to take fresh heart and hope and it is not merely the actual and contributed service but the sense of latent and unused power and the promise of larger contribution which the future would evolve. He promised to be and became more and greater to our common citizenship as the years go on. His connection with 50 many or ganizations which go to the creation cf richer city and community life indi- cated the breadth of his tiio1ght and the wide reach of his sympathles and his eagerness to be useful anu servicea5ie to the community. He seemed to be coming up to a great citizenship and a ministrant cnurchmanship which few at tain. His presence was inspiring and his enthusiasm was courageous; and his spirit helped us to rise out of our 1ethargies and make our own life an ac- tive force in the spheres of our own activity. He was So immediately re- sponsive to appeal and so full of initia- tive suggestion of new lines of service that we were coerced to follow and make our lives more productive. He seemed to be always looking out for new chances and new channels through which he could pour his abounding energy. so that he became wanted man. and it was on the basis of his capacity for service that he was recently wanted for the highest office his city Ihas to confer. His friends felt that he would serve the city with the same dedication of his best as he had already served it in 50 many ways. And so in all these spheres of activ- I ity he served-ip his home, in his church. and in the life of the commu- nifty and his country in the time of her supreme need and the world in the years of it's great agony on the fields l of Europe he put his energy and enthu- siasm and his dedicated powers that his l life and career all too brief. is and will | be an inspiring force.
 Forth to the fight he fared.
 High things and great he dared. In his Masters might
 To spread the light.
 He greatly loved,
 He greatly lived
 And died right nightly"

coat and gave 1t to the hapless one and
that night in n dream he learned the
beggar was Christ. As a reward, the
succeeding days OF the winter were
so mild that the saint never missed his
coat and it became legend that if

winter follows, but il the weather Is
pleasant and mild. the winter will BE-
severe.
