68 FUNERAL SERVICES OF THE LATE W C STAINES owing to the lat lateness eness eneas of the hour hodr at which the funeral Ber services Bervi servi vices cea coa over the remains of the late elder W C staines were held yesterday afternoon our report of the proceedings were necessarily somewhat limited we therefore supplement it today to day the funeral discourse was preached by PRE prem PEEST m JOSEPH F SMITH who said it was by special request that lie arose to express his feelings on that occasion if if it would avail anything to mourn he should feel to become one of the mourners but we had no occasion to mourn except for the present or temporary loss of the society of our friend and brother whose spirit had fled from its earthly tabernacle and returned unto god from whence it came yet there was room for regret that one whose life had hail been so useful and who was so earnest and so industrious in the cause of humanity should have been unable to remain with us longer loli 1013 ger brother staines was comparatively ively speaking only a young man he would have had many years longer to live to have reached the number of years allotted to man during which time if it hud had been possible for us to have retained him in our midst it was reasonable to sup suppose posse that there would have been a great field for his continued continue d usefulness in the kingdom of go god d but it had pleased god to suffer buffer him to take his departure from us and now the only duty which devolved upon us was to place his earthly remains mains in their last resting place there to await the sound of the trump of god that should call him forth from the dust to life evermore and to the enjoyment of all the blessings privileges and promises that have been pronounced upon his head by virtue of the authority of that priesthood which god had restored to the earth in the dispensation of the falness of times it was usual to dwell on the character and life of the dead on occasions of this kind it was not however in any way required of him the speaker to extol the virtues and the worth of a brother who had won the universal respect love iove loveana and confidence of allwoo nil all who knew know him it was wag enough for him to say that from the time he first remembered brother W C I 1 staines until the present he had never known him to waver from that which was right he could ber her him ever since he the speaker wab was a little child and he had always loved him always respected him always had hail th the utmost outmost confidence iu in his integrity in ills his honor lm tin his truth and I 1 in other attributes of his character which went to make up a man of god a man who wilo could be beloved by all and against whom even the worst enemies of the peo pie of god could nind find no fault save it be that he was a member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and a cansis consistent tent believer in the pi pt inci ples of the gospel and in the divine mission of the prophet joseph smith upon this earth when this was said I 1 it t was the th e worst t that tha t lie knew of that could possibly be said against brother staines Stai stal nes neg but sa he understood the object of these funeral services ser Ber vIces was waa not to dwell particularly upon the tho character life and anci conduct of the deceased but to reflect upon those principles which pertained to life and death as they had been revealed tons tong to us and in this connection the speaker proceeded to dwell upon the fact uro dro t that at death must sooner or later overtake one of the posterity of adam tho longest years allotted in this life were but brief after all and much of that time was filled with sorrow disappointment anxiety care toil toll heartache disease weakness and affliction and but a small portion of it in real happiness and enjoyment indeed the speaker had sometimes thought that were it not for the gospel so fio far as he was personally concerned he could see nothing to live liv for if he did not realize that there was something beyond what we see something beyond what we experience daily in the flesh if he be were not satisfied that there was a hereafter and that god rules rulea in the midst of all his creations and that he in connection with his fellow beings was a child of god and therefore an heir to certain blessings if faithful he could see little for which to live in fr this world prest smith next proceeded to speak on the immortality of the spirit of the resurrection and of the restoration of all things to a perfect condition showing that brother staines body maimed by accad accident would be made perfect not inte in the grave but butin in the resurrection and restoration in conclusion the speaker repeated that we have no reason to mourn for such men aa brother staines we wp might miss them grieve at the loss of the influence of their so clety in the flesh but they were happy and exalted aud and they would continue the labors they had begun here on the earth in the spirit world in carrying the gospel of eternal truth to those who were in prison president smith prayed that god might bless the family famil y and the immediate friends and kindred of bro ther staines that he would comfort their hearts in the loss they had sustained that the of god might guide them in the paths of truth and wis domand give them intelligence telli gence lo 10 understand the road in which they should walk to the end that they might some forth in the morning of the t e first resurrection with brother staines sta ines to enjoy
