FINAL TRIBUTE TO DAVIS HAVSWORTH
Railroad and Shop Men and Friends Come From Afar to Attend
the Funeral of Their Old "Boss" and Friend Canon Burgess
Talked of the Life of This Friend of Mankind.
The funeral services of David
Hrtwkswiirth were held Sunday
af'.-rnoon at the home on Vine
piri-et. One (if the largest pat her
itors of people that ever attended
a fmeral in this city was present
to pay the last earthly tribute to a
man whoso life had been such that
he held the love and respect of
ev-.rone who came in contact
wit.h ti i m . From many places
ir. this state and in Iowa friends
of years atro came to pay their
respects to their old-."boss" and
he.lpiul friend. A final tribute
such as he deserved was paid to
this aged citizen, so much of
whose life wag given to his fel
low man.
The services were conducted by
thf pastor and long-time friend
of the deceased, Cannon H. B.
Burgess of St. Luke's Episcopal
church. The text of his sermon
was from Ephesians, vitl2: "For
we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in
high places." It was the first part
of this sentence that Cannon Hur
gess used.
"The Battle of Life" could well
be chosen as the title of the ser
mon. He talked of David Hawks
vnrth's life as a young man just
entering the battle of life; as a
soldier in the civil war where, as
an engineer on two gunboats, he
OA-posed himself to great danger;
of his capture by the enemy, and
of his return to conflict after he
was released; of his courage in
th areat conflict of capital and
I'tli 'P, where he invariably came
.mm right because of his love of
iusiiee and fair play. His calm,
pacific nature was always an aid
if Ir'in whatever the struggle in
w in i h he was engaged.
II- was a lover of men, said the
".. '.ker, and the "hoys" n 0
soi'ps all loved him. The man
vtio was discharged was never
(fended because fiave Hawks
wort h did it in such a gracious

Is the days of slavery and serfdom.
every master, every feudal lord, recog
nized a responsibility for his servants
or slaves. lie was interested in their
health and In their morals, for they
were his property, and any deprecia

selfish Interest kept him sllre to his
responsibility, to a considerable degree.
Out now all that has changed. Serfs
and slaves, released from obligation,
are without supervision and care. The

ger of being crowded to the wall. Our lad- lnd,Hd- ,f 0,ne Dlvlne Interpoat

The All Seeing eye of our Creator
keeps watch over the affairs of Ills
creatures today as It kept watcli over
Abel's Interests. Cod allowed Cain to
have his way; allowed him to kill his
brother; allowed the righteous to suf
fer; yet Cnln did not escape, but was
. . i i i m .1. .1 u ..I..
I neiu accouiiiaoie ior iue uemu ui in
brother. Cod's sentence upon him sep
arated hlru from his brethren until he
cried out that tils punishment was
greater than he could beir. And. simi
larly, we may be sure that tho nn
class of our day will be held account
able for the wilful slaying of their
brother, especially to tho extent that
the brother despised may be a child
of God. As Cod declared that the
blood of Abel cried to Him from the
ground cried for Justice so the inti
mation of the Scriptures Is that nil In
justice of every kind, everywhere will
bring n "Just recompense of reward."
St James tlgurntlvely represents the
laborers. Die tollers ln the field of la
bor today, as crying out to God, and as
being heard, and Us resulting In n
great "time of trouble." In which the
great, the mighty ami tint rich shall
weep bitterly (.lames v. Ii. As these
are not tin union men. generally, who
are crying out at the present time, we
may look more especially amongst
those on the outside; but tho lesson Is
that those who sulTcr oppression wdll
ultimately have Hivlne power ever
vised In their defense and for their re
lief. St. James Intimates that this re
lease will come to this class nt the
coming of Messiah, In power and great
j'lory. for the establishment of Ills
Kingdom of righteousness In th"
World. To those who nre the Lord's
those that have do helper (l's. IxrlL 12).

Those who are entirely natLsfled with
present conditions are the compara
tively few who have special advan
tages. The masses are discontented--
some of thetu properly so, and other!
of them more discontented than ta rea
sonable. All but the very poorest and
worst situated are better otf today
than were their grandfathers yet less
contented. The spirit of discontent
sol Unimex and a failure to note and to
enjoy the trout blessings which God
has provided so bouutifully, as well as
wonderfully, hi our day. prevails.
Nevertheless. Rome have reason for
dlsconteut; and some, looking Into th
future, are fcarlnj; worse conditions,
us the monopolies have gained a firmer
(trip upon all the necessities of life.
Surely their forebodings are not
wt'hout grounds. Unless something
shall occur to lift matters out of their
preteut rut, human Intelligence sees,
at a not fur distant day, a new serf
dom, with masters directing all th
forces of the world, and with the coca
nion people at their mercy, (tad ts
hare a sufficiency of work and f
wage for life's necessities.
Long ago the speaker harbored the
theory taught him In his creed, that
mankind Is totally depraved; but sure
ly none are totally depraved except Us
Idiotic. The speaker, believed thai
there la an element favorable to right
eousness In every member of our rscs,
and that sin is largely tbe result of
unfavorable environments; and that
the majority of mankind would be
of Messiah's Kingdom, for which wa
pray, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will
he done on earth us It Is In heaven."
Most explicitly do the Scriptures de
clare this, saying, "The desire of all
nations shall come" (Ilnggal 11, 7).
This declaration Is in conjunction with
the foretelllnx of the establishment of
Messiah's Kingdom. The reign ot
righteousness which It will inaugurate
will be the Ideal of the niaSHes Of
mankind, although qulto probably tbe .
overthrow of TtuhIs nnd Combines
will, for n time, not bo viewed sympa
thetically by tho rich, tho wlae, the
preferred, trio favored class, under
present conditions. As it required tlufa
for the slave holders of the past to
become reconciled to the loss of their
blaves nnd to see tho righteousness
of their belli;; freed, no It. will be with

The whole world of mankind will
then be tiiiuslei'ied into the hands of
Messiah, who will take tliem ;ut an
thai are. Tliey will lie In various con
ditions. Some w ill be more depraved.
others less depraved; some will be
more seared In their consciences and
Home less; and these doth lencles of
character will depend upon the wuy la
which each one accepted or rejected
light nml opportunity ln the present
time. Those who knriv not UN will
and rfd it imt will receive few ntrlpes;
those who knew Ui will and did it not
will receive many stripes, because of
previous hardening of character. Ev
erjbody will he required, eventually,
to come up to the full standard of Di
vine requirements. Those uior do
praved will have greater difficulty and
thoso less depraved will have less dif
ficulty and receive fewer stripes. In
the coming up to Plvlne requirements.
Those who most willingly and most
gladly nssent to tho leveling process
will most quickly receive the Divine
blessing and make the most rapid
progress along the Highway of Holi
ness, back to full human perfection
and eternal life. And those who now,
ln advance of the establishment of the
Kingdom, love righteousness and hat
Iniquity, come at present Into favor
with the King of kings, and thus nre
specially favored with light and knowl
edge, nnd nre Invited to become asso
ciates with Messiah lu His glorious
Kingdom, which Is to effect the long
promised, great reformation of earth's
affairs. Pet us all lake to heart nnd
apply well tills lesson, hut especially
those who have heard nnd who have
responded to the Iilvlne InvltnMon to
become heirs of 0 d and Joint-heirs
with our Uedcomer.
