Mr. Thompson said:
- Man is God's highest 'creation.
Ha In chief and noblest or al

by Inspiration penned these words
WW' In man. that thou art
mindful of him? and the son o;
man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little
lower than the anzelsand host
crowned him with glory and
honor. Thou madest him to have
dominion over the works of thy
hands; thou 'hast put all things
under his feet,"' Psalms 8, 4-6.
"In the beginning God said.
"Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness." "And the

Dersonality has -an unbroken
continuity of existence in life
here and hereafter. It would be
nearer the fact in the case if we
bad accustomed -ourselves' to
speak, instead of death, to say
the spirit has put off the bod.
The body; tor a time, ceased to
be as such, but the living, per
sonality continues beyond the
putting of! of the body in un
broken life.
The memorial idea carries with
if belief in immortality-life be
yond this visible existence. This
is what invests our memorial cus
toms with value. We should not
want to remember that wnicn
ceases tobe, but it is because our
departed friends still live that
we cherih andTkeep- alive "their
memory.
Again, the memorial idea is
beautiful and comforting to us.
No one wants to be forgotten.
We like lo ba remembered here
and the assurance that not only
here, but after we have passed
into the beyond our friends will
not forget us, but will still cher
ish and keep us fresh in the
chambers of memory, brings to
us now the feeling of delight and
comfort.
And if, in the spirit world,
there is any knowledge by those
who have departed of what we
who remain are doing here, I am
persuaded that the joy we find
in doing honor to their memory
is shared in no less by them
selves. Hence, a memoral oc
casion in honor of cur departed
friends and brothers is befitting,
beautiful and comforting.
Tne one in whose memory we
meet tonight upon whose grave
we place fresn garlands, ana
whose life and deeds we would
keep alive among us, is the late
Felix D. Markham.
He was bom in Orange, . now
Durham county, N. d June 20,
1315. and died July 12, 1907, In
our city. With the exception of
two years which he spent in the
civil war, his life was passed in
this community.
From 1884 to his death Mr.
Markham gave his life to the
service of the public. During
that period he was sheriff of
Durham county with the ex
ception of two terms, having
been elected to that office ten
times and served nearly nineteen
years in all.
The deceased was a consistant
and valuable member of the First
Baptist church, of Durham, and
was one of its most liberal sup
porters.
Mr. Markham was twico mar
ried and Is survived by his wid
ow and six children.
As a man and as a citizen our
brother was acknowledged by all
who knew him to be of the highest
