FIIS FRl ill! PUCES PAY in ii 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 j S'ner. lloi'Uir-JeH his pa.l.r?i ' 1 ' hard i! vva fur him to dis i ' ::: e a man.

We are In the time mentioned by St Paul, when "every man's work shall be tried so as by tire" (I Corinthians ill, 13.) The testing will be along the lines both of faith and of works. Only those holding tlrmly to "the faith once delivered to the saints" will be able to bring forth such fruits, such good works, as the testings of this hour re quire. This class, awoke to their re sponsibility toward God and the breth ren and the Bible, and full of seal therefore, will thereby be kept In this "evil day." God will bless them In their endeavors to glorify Him. My Brother's Keeper Sooially. 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 tion meant Qnunclal loss to him. Thus 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 less fit of our race are in serious dan ger of being crowded to the wall. Our lad- lnd,Hd- ,f 0,ne Dlvlne Interpoat lawmakers have recognized the fact tion "en t0 llft them and tnelr an"lr" and have thrown around tbe weaker out of present conditions and put them sex and children safeguards In the upon a plane of absolute righteousness, laws, protecting them from desiring Jc equity. This, the speaker be people who would exploit them for ll(,Tes. 18 tbe dos,re ot a lftr8 lw selBsh purposes i ln ever7 n""0"- predominating class.

As knowl- ."ult' he Bl,id' fro,u establishment edge Increases, trusts and combina tions selfltdily boost the price of life's necessities nnd luxuries. Those mcm lxrs of our race less favorably equip ped for the battfe of life are seriously disadvantaged, some by reason of less i intellectual powers, others by reason of unfavorable circumstances and en vironments. Under such conditions it is not sur prising that nil who ure able are band ing together into unions for their own protection; nor should It surprise us that these, also, sellish and bard of heart, tdiould sometimes be unjust In their demands, and sometimes cruel land ready to slay their brother who Joins them not In their organization.

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). Th D.tire of All Nations Sh.lt Corn." 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.
