In beautiful Klmwood today, tender
ly, reverently.aud with all tha honor
that could Im ahown by a mournloir
mmmutilly. The funeral ervlce
were of the most Inipreaalve charac
ter lliat trila writer ha ever eeen Id
Charlotte Indeed, we douht. If Ha
like was ever known here lefore At
nine o'clock thia morning, the casket
containing the Ix.dy of the beloved
pielor was home from the roause
Into the church, and placed upon the
cat.ifalqne at the head of the main
aisle and Immediately in front of the
pulpit Tha door were then thrown
oen to the public, and from that
hour until the time set for the
funeral, there waa a continuous lln-
of people filing through the church
to get a last look at the fa a of the
dead. They were of oil classes and
conditions, from tha wealthiest to
the poorest ; and of all creeds and de
nominations; the Catholic side by
side with the protestant. The col
ored people were there too. In great
Dumlers. For three hours the stream
of people was uninterrupted, the
church In tha meantime Iming pack
ed with people awaiting the open
ing of the servleo. Folly five thou
sand people paaaed In Hue by the
casket.
The decorations of the pulpit were
plain, appropriate, beautiful, rivaled
only by the decorations of one former
occasion, when Dr. Miller preached
the funeral of Stonewall Jackson's
only daughter, Mrs. Julia J season
Christian. The posej Mlitles of the
stately arch In rear of the pulpit
were taken advantage of, and the
decorations were strikingly 1huU
ful. Over the pulpit was a white
cross surmounted by a crown, and
across it the words "I have kept the
rami." Just under tlie Hihle on the
pylplt was the single word "Het."
The decorations were made up of
palms, ferns and flowers, among the
striking designs being "The tiates
Ajar," a sheaf of wheat, a star and
wreath, doves, lloral pillows, et.
At the strokes of the bell announc
ing the hour for the funeral, all the
banks of the city, and nearly all the
stores closed their doors. The mass
of Hope standing about the doors of
the church Indicated even then that
all the available space of the church
was filled. Such a tax was never
before put upon the building, and
the hundreds who could uot get in
remained outside until the services
were concluded.
The services were opened with the
presentation of De Profundi hy the

arduous struggle, a faithful and fear

Paul'a glad words of w I cues: "I have
fought a good flu lit, etc.'" burdened
the last low murmurs of Dr. Miller.
One sentence especially might be
takeu as the grand epitaph of our de
parted friend: I have kept the faith,
written not on perishable marble nor
ou fames fickle leaflet; the imperish
able volume of their record is his life
of unwavering devotion: they are
chiselled on the tablets of loving
hearts.

now have bold men have despised
and sought to demolish the old theo
logical strongholds. With an Invi
tation craving for the new and odd
some would even eliace the very
foot-priuts of the fathers. Already
a recoil Is setting in and even the
boldest are coming back to the broad
and grand truths framed from Ood's
word bv the wisdom of aires, bathed
in martyr blood, proved in the Chris
tian faith and hope ot centuries. Dr
M liter waa one of Ood's fearless ser
vants who never forsook the atrife
for the old faith nor weut back from
the defence of our treaaured truths.
He delighted in the doctrines of
Christ, ever making the Headship of
Christ the oentre of all truth and
doctrine. Upon this subject he
preached his first swrmon, often this
glorious truth of the Saviour as the
all aud in all; and at our last long
conversation his word9 repeated
again and again were : "preach the
Headship of Christ." Often the
messenger of Christ is allured by the
Delilnh's of vanity and wordly ser
vice Into the deceit and sensation of
the age. In such temptation we turn

let u receive thla example of hero
ism, let n stand firmly ahd forever.
Thi brave defensa of principle,
while characteristic, wa rl uot the
leadlug trait of hi aoul. The brave
stern warrior had heart t ver warm
and lender. Thoae knew this who
were hla friends and had been com
forted by him. He la uot louely now,
nor doe ha need consolation,
for he Is In the company of thoae
who were comforted by him; for
more thau a score of years they have
been gathering home, aud on Han
day, the day ou which they loved to
hear him on earth, a congregation,
blessed and holy, gathered to meet
him above. Night must creep over
as, hut hi suu shall never go down ;
sickness shall weaken our mortal
frrme; but forever he is free from
disease and pain; sorrows that we
know not now shall pierce our al
ready bleedlug hearts; there sorrow
and sighing have pasand away. We
do no uot grudge him hla happiness,
no matter how our hearts miss him;
we rejoice most iu the fact that
though he cannot come to us, we may
go to him.
His energies were exercised In a
wide and ever widening sphere. The
poor red-skin, uow an a.len n his
own native land, received his sym
pathy; the desolate house of Israel
was cheered by hi prayers and la-
lers. O, earthly Jerusalem! sadly
shall the wurkmeu upon thy walls
miss him who strove to build up thy
breeches! He has gone now to
that heaveulyJerusaleiu whose walls
of jasper shall never be loru down,
h.r gates are open day and night,
and her King reignelh forever and
ever.
The poor man's friend is good;
widow's aud orphans, poor and strug
gling shall miss the loving heart and
opeu purse. Where shall suoh toru!
inter now rests over nature .as
over our hearts. Fitting time that
Ood should call him, for the inevita
ble winter snows of life were legin
ning to deepen upon his brow. We
must wait long aud weary mouth's
for natureV spring and sunshine
shall break the cold of winter. Al
ready his spring time has come;
that all-healing, all-gladdeniug sum
mer of bliss has burst upon bis glo
rified vision.
Four "months since over the re
mains of a dear friend he uttered
these words: "She was a precious
jewel, polished and beautiful, and
uow adorns the Master's royal dia
dem." wu may we pay thia trib
ute to him, for he was a gem of the
first magnitude, now adorning the
Saviour's radiant brow, set iu the
royal diadem cf the Enthroned Je
sus, whose effulgent glory is the
truth and faithfulnesssof his saints.
When Luther's monuments crum
ble, (Jermanv's language, faith and
power will be his monument; no
marble shaft lifts it chaste form to
the memory of Calvin ; he needs
none, Switzerland's truth and free
dom, truth aud liberty throughout
the -orld are his undying memorial.
So our Dr. Miller ueeds not monu

to record his life. The life of this
