his remarks Mr. Partri sail:
MR. PATBIDQl'l SKIUlOlt
tied keeps a record of the names of Ins
true followers. There was a record kept
of all tho children of Israo', each family
and each tribe was inscribed by name
upon this reenter. hen death occurred
the name was erased from the b 10k, and
so the appearance of a DaAM upau this
book wa an evidence of life.
Our departed fi lend went from amoug
us verv suddenly. He was a soldier in
tbi.i regiment present today, hut above all
he was a soldier of the cins. 11 followed
the great Captain of our salvation- a sol
dier of the cross 111 the full vigor of man
hood, stroug physically, iutellectuallv, bnt
in sight of Christ iiH name bad been blot
ted out of the book of tho liviug 111 this
world, but as a follower of Christ we be
lieve Ins name has been for a long time
inscribed upon the book ot those
who never die in heaveu. In Uod's
home theie are no sorrows, no
funerals, no dirges, uo cemeteries.
Kvery person In this house of worship to
day imtHt sympathize with this stricken
family, these stricken comrades and this
I stiickou church. There is grief and great
j sorrow today. The world has grest sym
pathy for us 111 our gner. but h w soon it
Orgetl our grief. Business aud pleasure
crowd out all remembrances of our sol
row. Even as we go to the cemetery wo
find the streets block -d with busiuess and
pleasure while we suff.T. It Hani to ns
that the whole world should stop its busi
ness aud its pleasures and weep with us
who are grieved. Bat even our friends
who sympathize with us have their caret,
their business aud their pleasure', and
So oil forget our sorrow, but s it nut a
comfort to know that a record is made in
Ood's book of our tears aud soi rows.
OOD NKVKlt KollULTS.
A soldier falls from the ranks, his place
is promptly tilled aud he is soon forottou.
A workman at ouo of our great throb
bing hives of industry falls by the way
side aud iu an instant another workman
steps iuto his place and he is forgotten.
The world Jbas forgotten much of our
labors iu the past. The older citizens of
our commonwealth are, for the raot part,
entirely forgotten by our younger citi
zens. Hut Uod never forgets a good deed.
There is no past, with Johovab. Good deeds
of all the world aud of tho oldest people
living are as fresh in the mind of our
heavenly father as if they had been per
formed today. Kvery hour spent 111 His
sercice, aud every moment aud peuuy
given iu His name to the unemployed, to
the poor, to the widow, to the orphan or
in any philanthropic or churituble purpose,
He vfjlf always remember.
Our dear departed Brother Feeley was a
man whi) Irani about in this world doing
good, a man beloved by his fellow men.
A man who hud worked with him for
many years, said of biiu : "We never had
a single word of misunderstanding, and I
never heard him utter an unkind word."
He was a generous, chivalrou Christian
gentleman, a follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ, We read, that henceforth let it be
said tuat blessed are they that die iu the
Lord, for they rest from tueir labors auJ
their works do follow them.
All that remains of our deceased brother
and friend and comrade will he borne to
the grave, a sc.dier's salute will be tiro 1
snd the trumpet will blow "Lights out."
Never will that sound of "lights out" for
asoldiercf the ernes and follower of the
Lambbe heard 111 heaven.

Dr. Logan spoke briefly. He l
that tiie assembled comrades should
ranliM the high purpose, not only ns
soldiers of Christ bur as soldiers for
the protection of the manhood and the
womanhood and the great institutions
of our country. "Let ua reulizs, " said
he, "something of the character that is
required of us as wo are here to lay
away the remains of our departed
brother." Dr. I. m then led iu
prayer, after which tne quartette ran
