The death of a personal friend
la a loss so "keenly felt that some
times our emotions can hardly
be made to let us speak.: We are
sometime1 almost overwhelmed
by the mysterious operations of
the laws of our being. We stand
like dumb beasts and unknowing
children. We are unable to fath
om the mystery why there are
so many different orders of men,
children of the same father, nour
ished by the same mother earti;
rand living under the same gentle
heaven, our statures ought not to
be unequal. Yet, like the myriad
stars we differ one from another.
Home come and go and leave no
trace of their hurried stay. Oth
ers among us somewhat stronger,
and perhaps a little wiser, linger
for a little while only to leave and
be forgotten. But some there
are that move so, powerfully a-
mong their fellows, that play so
large a part in the affairs of their
community, that, though dead,
they and their works remain
with us.
. Tarleton P. Adams was strik
ingly typical of the possibilities
of our American Institutions
He was a man whom to know was
to love and respect. In my aj
quaintance with men I have
known none who had a larger
heart, more generous impulses
or who took a more lively interest
in the welfare of his friends. "
His interest in the cause of ed
ucation never flagged, he was al
ways ready to give of his time
and substance to aid some one in
the struggle for au education.
He was the warm and enthusias
tic friend of all school teachers
. and institutions of learning. But '
our friend is gone. Since death
must cope to us all and to all an
' end is filsed, let us not mourn that
a fellow pilgrim is called, but let
us strive to fill te broken ranks
and do the work belief t.
As for the future we know not
fully what it is, but that it- is we
know, and that it, will be ample
we doubt not. Centyiries before
Christ, Socrates, the Greek, "who
was a pagan philosopher, in mak
ing his defense. before a Greek
Court on trial for 'bis life", and
: realizing the hopelessness of his
v cause, gaveitierance to this ob
V scure prophecy as to the chris
tian, utterly comfortless, to him I
y- the only comfort: ''After all" be
said, "if some men say death is
' only an eternal sleep, then how
; glorious it will be to be far from
x the distractions of men and
things, from death and' disease;
' but if there be a iworld different
' from this in which men may be
happy according to their deeds
i in the flesh,; then how infinitely
better than this, for we shall
meet with the scholars and phil-
. osophers, the saints and even the
' T gods, who have promised us the
good things, the things which on
ly the spirit can realize and
?V know.".; Centuries before this.

claimed, "where, oh . where are

forever, mingled with the past"
But the snows of yesteryear are
net gone, they live in the rain,
iai fee fcj, in the dews, in the
itari 61 p streams, in "the
r f J ; 'hrob,' in the flower
They are the snow bf new life.
And in like manner the deeds of
good men though they take other
forms, are not gone forever, they
abide somewhere, ayerthey still
abide where men feel and know
their blessed influence. So the
works of our departed friend will
not perish, they abide with us. j
When the sun goes down be
yond the hill, we say it is setting
but it does not disappear. There
follow great streams of light, lu
minous with glory, and long af
ter the great luminary is lost to
view, it throws back its effulgent
streams to light the pilgrim's
way, and so it is with the influ
ence which our friend set in mo
tion, the influence of his life will
light the pathway of many a
struggling pilgrim, pointing him
to the nobler and better life.
Kindly, genial and courteous,
those who knew him best loved
him most. "I cannot say and I
will not say that he is dead, he is
just away."-

Often you comment possibly
along these lines:' Einstein, a
superscientist of the sort that
appears only once in centuries,
makes less money than the inven

Eskimo pie, ice cream cone or

is that. Einstein serves only a
