Show The small attendance at the funeral funer-al of President C. I). FJclsted on Wednesday docs not speak well for the community. If a man who has spent his wholo life for the good of others and died poor is not entitled to more genera) recognition than he received at his funeral, some of the rest will surely bo up against It. The sentiment of tho age Is push, a life of strcutioslty, grasping and overreaching for what? For For that which will perish, and often when left as a legacy tends to ruin those who become Its possessors Avarice and self aggrandisement is growing -worse day ny day to such a degree that the sick do not receive the attention they should, and there is practically no time with some to bury their dead. A halt should bo called and a reformation Inaugurated. Llfo should have for Its aim the ameliorating of sorrows, tho giving of help and good cheer, lifting up tho fallen, assisting the weak and weary and making brighter and better the pathway to dcatn'sdark vale. While tho struggle for tho necessaries and few comforts Is strenuous, It does not pay to forget those libont us. |
