comfort to soothe their grief in
the passing of their illustrious
husband and father, at a
private service in the country
home north of the city.
The Rev. Jean S. Miner, pastor
of the Second Presbyterian Church,
which the Ralstons attended aft, \
coming to Indianapolis. officiated.
A group Of United States Senators,
members of that great legislative
body to which Senator Ralston was
elevated by his State, attended the
services, along with those who knew
the Senator most intimately.
Start to Lebanon
At the close Of the service, the
funeral cortege started its last sad
trip to Lebanon, the place where
the departed leader began as a
struggling young lawyer. and carved
for himself a place with the great
men of Indiana.
The services were delayed for ar
rival of the senatorial party and
the cortege did not start until 1:4O
p. m.
For we are strangers before thee,
and sojourners, as were all our
fathers: our days on the earth are
as shadow and there is none abid-
Ing" said the Rev. Miner, seek
ing to comfort those who had suf
fered the greatest loss in the Sen
ator's death. There was no sermon
or music at this service it was only
a simple reminder of the Christian
beliefs, in which Senator Ralston
professed faith.
Reading of poem, "Christus Con-
solator," opened the service. Several
Scriptures were then given by the
Rev. Miner including:
But now is Christ risen from the
dead and become the first fruits of
them that slept.
For since by man came death, by
man came also the resurrection Of
the dead.
For as in Adam all die, even So
in Christ shall all be made alive. =
