Dr. John Burbonr Pays High Tribute
To Civil War Veterans In Funeral
Wrvlce for .Mr. Jacob
CsblMi.
Funeral services for Mr. Jacob Cab
llnh, retired merchant, wero held Mon
day afternoon at the home of his
daughtor, Mrs. Charles Conrad, in
East Second steet. Tho services were
In charge of Dr. John Barbour of the
I'rcsbyterinn church who In the course
of his address, took tho opportunity to
pay a high tribute to tho veterans of
the Civil War, tho doceused having
served as a Corporal in mi Ohio com
pany during the civil conflict.
Dr. Barbour said in part:
Another soldier of tho Union has
been mustered out. Not In grcut com
panies, as Just after the war, but one
by one, In quiet places, without mili
tary ceremony or the beat of tho drum
they are going. It hits been so long,
nenrly sixty years since they laid
down their nuiBkcls that wo almost
forget they wero soldiers. But they
have been soldiers all the while, and
they have won In civil life some of
their greatest victories. Milton never
said a finer thing than this: 'Peace
hath her victories more renouned than
war." Some of the greatest victories
have been victories of peace.
I often think that tho great captain
of the Union forces typified them all.
What a linrd-hltting soldier lie was;
yet how great In victory. See him dis
missing the Southern soldiers with
their horses to their farms. Hear him
saying In a time of political .clamor
"Lot us have peace." Sre him in Ber
lin whon Invited to sec a grand army
review replying: "I am tired of war
and its reviews." Hear him saying:
"The best way to have a bad law re
pealed Is to enforce it." In other
words, the law Is tho law. Repeal it
if you wish, but In the meantime the
country's honor and peace is involved
In Its enforcement. Some of our time
might well heed theso words. See him
when they were planning his burial
place replying: "My wife must lie by
my side." A man -.hat loved his people
and his family. A reticent man. When
he spoke his words counted.
In this spirit these soldiers of the
Union fought and lived. They did not
earn the plaudit of Horace, the Roman
poet, "Sweet It Is and an honor to die
for ono's country." They were not to
die on tho battlefield and be buried
with military honors. But they have
lived for sixty years helping in the
victories of peace. No soldiers have
won greater distinction than our Ken
tucky soldiers. Thoy went out in the
enthusiasm of youth. Boys, most of
them, giving their young heart's love
to their country. They had to choose
In a divided state Some of the finest
cttzens of this county were on the
other side. These men saw clearer and
time and the world's Judgment have
vindicated their decision. They had to
go Into battle agalnBt their neighbors
and klnspeople. It was a time that
tried men's souls. They have been like
Grant, generous In victory. Today the
gratitude of their country thanks them
for a reunited Vnlon. Tho vast Impor
tance of America in the world today
goes back to the decision of these
boys for the Union.
In all this our deceased friend
shared. He was a lover of peace and
the quiet life. He loved his own homo
and his own town. He has been one
of our best citizens and he has gone
beloved by his family and honored by
his fellow men. Like many another
old soldier he was a member of
Christ's church, and so a soldier of
the cross.
"I have fought a good fight," said
the Apostle. There Is always plenty of
good fighting to be done by brave and
patriotic men and women.
Let us, too, play the men for our
homes and the cities of our land. Let
us as coldlers of the cross stand for
the right even unto death.

REVIVAL AT EAST
END CHURCH BEGAN
SUNDAY EVENING
Special Religions Effort at the Little
Brick Church Opened Sunday
Evangelist Arrives on
Tuesday.
Edw. O. Rico, one of the former
heads of the great Henry Ford Banks
In Detroit sends his congratulations
to pastor of the Little Brick church
for having gotten Evangelist C. W.
Butler for the revival at that church
which opened Sunday night.
"While in Detroit," he writes from
St. Paul, Minn., "I attended tho Detroit
Tabernacle where Bro. Butler was
pastor. He is a strong forceful preach
er. He built up a great work in De
troit. You are to be congratulated in
setting him as your evangelist for
your church. Wishing you great suc
cess." For a short time, several years ago,
the pastor of the Little Brick was one
of the cost accountants in the great
Ford plant and it was while there in
Detroit that ho came In contact with
Henry Vallaid, head of tho great De
troit Butcher Supply Co., and the edi
tor of the Detroit Saturday Night, a
newspaper, both of which speak very
highly of Rev. Butler.
Sunday night the church was filled.
Interest is becoming great. Rev. Tlnt-
lcr preaches Tuesday night, and we
iiro those who desire to hear him to
be early. The music will start at 7:15
and those who like singing will enjoy
he first half hour of song.
One of the strong features of the
Little Brick revival will be the singing
by the big choir, assisted by the five
piece orchestra. Special numbers will
be rendered at all services.
Rev. Rayl, who has traveled In evan
gelistic work as a singing evangelist,
nearly from coast to coast, will sing
solos at all the night services. Rev.
Rayl wr.s (rained by a student of one
of New York's Grand Opera specialists
so In technic he holds his own with the
nation's evangelistic singers. But it
is Rev. Rayl's object to get across to
the people a heart felt message of sal
vation, and turn their wandering eyes
to the Lamb of God, who taketh away
the sin of the world.
Monday night Rev. Rayl sings "The
Ivory Palaces of the King" a real
treat.
