The attendance was large of the friends of the decedent and the bereaved ones; and numerous floral offerings were exquisite in design.

They who have kept their spirits virgin whiteness undimned by folly and unstained by sin and made their foreheads radiant with the brightness of the pure truth whose temple is within, THEY SHALL SEE GOD.
