of Denver citizens, friends and sympd-
thizers, including large number of
members of Rocky Mountain No. l
Lodge of Masons, Centennial No. 4.
representatives of the Daughters of
Isis, Musicians Union and other or
ganizations, journeyed by automobile
and Interurban car to pay their last
respects to the deceased, who filled Il
very prominent place in the musical
portion of the community of Denver,
and who was also highly respected and
beloved in Boulder, where he resided
many years.
Rev. /. S. Wilson of Campbell A. NJ.
f. Church. Denver, officiated, as
sisted by Rev. A. c. Jackson, also of
Denver, and Rev. Murphy of the A. Nj.
f. Church, Boulder.
"Our Friend Lazarus Is Not Dead,
But Sleepeth," the text taken by the
Rev Wilson, and made applicable to
the deceased, was delivered in so inn
presSive a manner as to bring conso-
lation to the bereaved relatives.
Resolutions from four branches OF
the Masonic order, Campbell Church,
of which the deceased was an ener-
getic member, the Denver Artists AS
sociation and the Musicians Union,
all spoke highly and commercially of
the qualities and usefulness of the de-
ceased, and the band of eighteen mu-
sicians, who led the cortege from the
home of his mother to the church, and
thence TO the cemetery, where the
last rites over a Masonic brother were
performed-these with a profusion OF
rare and beautiful flowers gave evil
dence of the worth and esteem that
LEE MORRISON was held in, and all
the honors paid him was meritorious
of a life that was well lived. There
was a fair percentage of white per-
sons who attended at the church and
the cemetery, also friends of the fam
lily from Longmont, Akron and other
parts of the state. The choir of the
A. NJ. Il. Church and the organist and
quartet of Campbell Church contrib
uted appropriate and very touching
songs for the occasion.
The Douglass Undertaking Company
was in charge, conveying the body
from Denver to Boulder, and their
funeral direction was carried outGvery
successfully

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

This has been. and still is. great
week for the boys. 1t was pity, how
ever. that the Employed Boys failed to
have their club meeting last Tuesday
night. Mr. Webster of the Central AS
sociation came up as usual to be with
them, but only two boys showed up.
They must do better next time.
1t was also pity that larger num-
Der of men did not come to the meet
ing last Sunday afternoon to hear Fa-
ther H. E. Rahming speak on "The BIZ
BILE and the World Today" Father
Rahming traced the origin of our BIZ
Bile, and told the purpose for which it
was written, and warned his hearers
not to be disappointed or discouraged
when they meet with seeming contra
dictions in the Bible; because, said he,
anything that man has to do with is
bound, before very long, to fall vic
tim to error of some kind.
international Secretary William Q.
Craver, of the Student Department, is
making a tour of the West and South
west, and will visit Denver on the 18th
and 18th of this month, and will be one
of the speakers at our meeting on the
18th. The Rev. Raloh NJ. Gilbert of
Detroit, the young minister who
thrilled Denver when he was here
some five weeks ago, will be here at
the same time and will also be one of
the speakers.
The meeting tomorrow Sunday aft
ernoon will be held for Lincoln and
Douglass, and will be under the aus
pices of the Colored American Legion.
The veterans have prepared strong
and splendid program, which 1t is
hoped every one will hear The meet
ing will be held at the Scott Nj. II.
Church, East Twenty-sixth avenue and
Clarkson street, and will begin prompt
ly at 4 O'Clock. The public ds invited.

MRS. ANNIE WINS,
Respected Pioneer Citizen and Chris
tian Worker, Passes Away.

After an Illness of only few weeks,
Mrs. Annie Wins, one of the most be-
loved women and sweet Christian char
aceers of Denver, gave up the strug
gle of life and entered into eternal rest
last Sunday afternoon at 30 Mrs.
Wins throughout her long residence
in Denver was known for her remark;i-
Bile sunshiny disposition, her many un-
stinted deeds of charity and Christian
loyalty. She was born in Paris, Mo-.
in 1857, and after living in Lexington
and Kansas City for while moved to
Colorado in 1892. Early in life she was
married to John Wins, who, with a
son and brother now survive her. She
was a faithful member of Shorter A.
NJ. E. Church for over thirty years and
never found any task too heavy nor
day too filled with life's cares to pre-
vent her doing Il full part toward her
church. Mrs. Wins was one of the
youngest persons in Denver for her
age. She lived in the present and pos
sessed II clear mind on all modern af-
fairs and advancement. Denver is
poorer today because of her death, and
young and old alike will mourn her
loss.
Funeral services were held Thursday
from Shorter A. NJ. L. Church, Rev.
