DAVID OVERMYER
The following memorial address
adopted by the Topoka (Kansas) Bar
Association is so eloquent as well as
so deserved that it is given in full.
It will he widely quoted:
The sudden death of David Over
niyer, following so swiftly on the
heels of the many other recent afflic
tions of the Topoka Bar, appalls us:
and while we use every artifice to rid
ourselves of this great sorrow, the
wraith of the dead man intrudes i t
elf! on all our ventures; and shut our
eyrs though we may, we sec it sitting
over there in his accustomed place.
Our, lips are poor ministers of our
hearts on 'this occasion; they have
their paltry limitations; a deep emo
tion is circuited by a meager scope
when tethered to the spoken word.
The great pool of sorrow stored in the
heart's deep well, is not reached by
the buckets we lower of human speech.
It were a profanation of the sweetest
flower the stricken soul can bloom,
could we coin, into language and give
to common gaze that which only sor
row may see. How sweet and gra
cious a thing is love chambered deep
in the soul, secure from alien cye-i,
as the veiled Host guarded and
watched by all the tribes of Israel.
The little child who has looked on
life as an infinite and wondrous va
riety of beauty, change and motion,
cannot understand why the dead
mother does not yield it her caress; nor
cm we, grim with the experiences of
life, reason why he is dumb to speech,
cold to heartaches, unstirring to the
outcry of love, and marble to our
tears.
Wfe has too many mysteries to be
rounded by philosophy; it halts where
the night hides its path, and from there
on L'aith gleams its star overhead,
and Hope, the child of Love, beckons
its fiuger. He who devised memory,
implanted Faith; and life without this
great triumvirate, of love, faith and
hope, is time without an Almighty,
and eternity without Omnipotence.
Faith came with 'death; and on every
planet that flies its way and turns its
day to the sun, where death may be,
this immortal solace blesses each
broken heart. The ancients carved on
their sarcophagi the symbol of faith,
scored deep in the granite, to linger
there as the story of their throbbing
hearts.
It cannot be that there is no im
mortality for the good, the brave, the
beautiful, the sweet, the true.
It cannot be that the hapless barks
voynging over the rough se"as here,
shall not make some sublimer port;
that the care worn, helpless burden
bearer here, shall not have a roadside
rest at last, by the cooling waters and
under the branching palms of some
land that has banished sorrow.
It cannot be that beautiful, bounti
ful lives, whose journeys have been
shining pathways here, shall end at
our frontiers in chaos; that the pur
poseless, causeless world shall carry
its dead, blind, cold and mute, with
out love or song or throb, through the
unlapsing and eternal stretch of cen
tury and age, and hold them forever
imbedded in. its godless, glacier sea;
where love no longer quickens a smile,
nor mercy moves it yith a prayer; the
vast creation, echoless abysses, unre
plying Alpine peaks, and memoryless
voids.
Our dend brother had his doubts;
the Inequalities of life, its extremes
of utter poverty and vast riches, the
burdens, cares, sufferings of the many,
of the same clay; of others apparently
enjoying the full of earth's bounties,
distressed him -vith doubt- But je
answered every doubt by dedicating
Jiis powers to relieve the distressed,
to divide the burdens, to distribute
the happiness and make earth" the
sweeter' .and-. dearer and better for all
who camp inside the Tavern gates.
Mr. Overmyer's life was Cis religion.
No creed hid his Creator; he limned
the Jehovah as large as his splendid
