Dr. Stewart's Eulogy on Mr. Carnochan.
Below is the full text of Rev. Doctor J. S. )
STEWART'S admirable discourse delivered at ,
the funeral of Capt \V. 11. CARNOCIIAN in ,
the Trov Presbyterian church, .Sunday after- 1
noon June 1!>. The publication may seem
somewhat late, but we were unable to pro
cure the copy earlier. We extend thanks te i
our neighbors of the Reporter for an early
proof of the eulogy:
TEXT —it. is appointed unto men once to die.— ,
Ilob. 0: 27.
This is the season of exhuberant life. Life j
throbs in its richest fulness in grass and
leaves and llowers. Every bird, as it leaps .
from twig to twig, or tloats in the radiant air,
or sings in full-throated ease, is instinct with
the intensest spirit of life. June is a perpet
ual rehersal on a small scale of the original
work of creation; it is a voice crying in the
wildernss of unbelief and sin; "There is a
God who lias made all tilings and by whom
all things consist." Prepare ye the way of
the Lord, make his paths straight."
And yet this season of life is by no means
exempt, from the blight of death, ll is ap
pointed unto men to die in June as well as in
December. Death casts the malign shadow
of his wings over the roses as surely as over
the snow,
" Leaves have their time to fall,
And liowers to wither at the north wind's breath,
And stars to fade; hut all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!"
So, in the very heart of tins beautiful June
we are come to bury out of our sight one who
was marked by a fulness of intellectual life
and of physical activity, but who was com
pelled to field to the mandate, " Return, ye
children of men!" In the hetght of his man
hood—in the developing energy of his powers
—in tlie sweet harvesting of professional suc
cess—in tlie full tide of worldly honor—in the
enjoyment of the fondest love and increasing
attractions of his wife and children, he lias
passed away; dying as a lamp burns out, as
n rose drops its petals on the grass, as tlie
sunset fades from the darkening sky. liis
body is here, but the animating spirit lias
gone beyond our sight into that mystic world
that surrounds us like an atmosphere. We
may erv like the ancients, "Vale, Vale, Vale 1"
but" no response of living love returns to our
straining ears and yearning hearts. No won
der the ancient Hebrews called that silent
world, "Sheol," or the Greeks that invisible
place, "Ilades"! We hear our dead no more
—we see them no more. We must neods live
without them. It may be days or years be
fore Hades opens its gates to receive our
spirits —a weary road may stretch between
us and them, hut "one night waits for all,
and ce for all the way of death must he
trod." It will not he long, after all before
we mingle with the throng of the departed.
"A few more years chall roll,
A few more seasons come;
And we shall be with them at rest,
Asleep within the tomb."
Tit is thought may come like a chill over
our ardent spirits; it may east a dismal
shadow over the leaves and llowers of June;
but yet it mav be a salutary and sanctifying
thought. God means us to reflect. upon it
when lie sends those dark providences into
our families and communities. The voice of
death repeats over the cxamplary prayer of
Moses: "So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."
Death awaits all men. In all the long his
tory of the world but two men have escaped
death. But notice, that, though the fact of
death be certain, tho time of death is ibso
lutely uncertain. Isaac said, "I know not
tlie dav of my death," and allmen can re-echo
this truth. We may have, years to live, or
only days and hours. The shadow of the
death-angel may be already upon our hearts.
The lingers of death may lie even now upon
our pulses, and the chill creaping along our
blood. Who knows? Hence no man should
boast of to-morrow; it mav never exist for
him; its light may fall upon his closed eye
lids and marble face.
I cannot but call up this reflection as 1
stand here this afternoon. Here lies a young
man—only fortv-oue j who, when 1 tirst met
him one Spring evening in Towanda eleven
years ago, was bright-eyed—bright-faced—
strong of body—a vigorous, vigilant, live man.
I met him in the office of our friend, George
Montauye. They were two gifted ynd most
promising young men; and both capable of
much distinction in their profession. Now
both :ire pone, and I, who seemed to liave the '
poorest lease of life, have been permitted to 1
speak over their lifeless bodies. So it is, oh! i
so ol'ten. ''Then shall two be in the tie,ld; 1
the one shall be taken and the other left. Two i
women shall be grinding at the mill; the one 1
shall be taken and the other left." We cannot .
explain it. God is soverign in recalling life, as '
he is in giving it. We can only say as to him: ;
"The will of God be done!" We can only say J
as to oureslves : "He ye also ready !"
Then notice again, that, though it is ap- 1
pointed unto men once to die, the appoint- *
ment is made by our gracious Lord, and there
fore* the time must be the best time. Intake (
no doubt of this. We accomplish, as an hire- ,
ling, our day. The shadow falls from the (
hand of our heavenly Father, neither too soon j
nor too late. We finish our work. So God ,
siM-s it, it' we do not. This friend died in the !
midst of his career; cut off prematurely, we j
may feel disposed to say. No—no. lie work- j i
ed well. He foiled upward, relying upon 1 i
his (dear brain and his strong hand, lie made : ]
himself; he made a prosperous career arid a 1
happy home. He lived justly and had a kind
word" for those he met. Jlh earthly task he <
finished hotter than manv do who live twice his !
years. The world and his friends have only],
"kind and loving words for him. He has pass- : -
ed into hands of the God who. as he said, had ,
always been good to him, and who, he trust- ,
ed, would take care of him. And we cannot 1
but hope that the turning of his heart in his
last days to religious thoughts was the return i
of a weary child to his God and Saviour
There is one other thought. If death he
the common lot, then we need not fear lest
the death of our friends may overwhelm us.
Think of the dying that goes on in our world!
Think that every second some soul goes forth
into eternity! Think of the broken house
holds, the lonely husbands and weeping
w iyes, the sinking mothers and defenseless
children! It is a picture to make angels i
weep. Yet somehow the world moves on ,
through it all. The families are provided i
for; the heavy hearts are soothed; the c'lil- ;
drcn liuil a heavenly Father to take care of
them. It, is one of the wonders of God's love
and grace; and it illustrates the vital, recti- i
peraiive power there is in tiimhuman spirit.
So, dear friends, despair not! Your heavenly
I Father careth for you. Lift your weeping
eyes to consider the llowers and birds of this
sweet June! God made them and God clot li
es and feeds them. Are ye not much better
than they? Trust in God in this great ulilict-!
tion! lie has sent it m love, and he means it
for your good, lie is not angry with you,
but he is loving you all the more because he
is afflicting you.
" E'en crosses from liis sovereign hand
Are blessings in disguise."
He sure, if you trust him, that he will stand
by you; he will never leave nor forsake you;
lie will he a husband to the widow and a
father to the fatherless. Lot me close by
ipioting a short poem from some unknown
author, whose heart had deeply felt these
sweet and inspiring truths:
The clouds hagti heavy round my way,
I cannot see;
And thro' the darkness 1 believe
God lcadoth me.
'Tis sweet to keep my hand in his,
While all 'IH dim ;
To close my weary, aching eyes,
And follow him."
Thro' many a thorny path he leads
My tired feet;
Thro' many a patli of tears I go;
But it is sweet
To know that he is close to me,
My God, my Guide;
lie leadeth me, and so 1 walk
Quite satisfied."
