This business was conducted very- successfully until 1888, when a disagreement arose in the firm and thef business was sold out. 'Mr. Kay then took anCxtcnsive trip abroad, the first long vacation he had igiven himself in thirty!, years; he was accompanied by his w fe, and after a mdsf pleasurable tour returned to Sa lerid.a Here the citizens offeredrhim a cash 1 bonus of $20,000 if he would build a $100,000 mill in this city.

It w-as right for the Chrisian-ta-mourn the departed brother, but not without the hope of eternal lite, which was posses sed by the Christian. The faith of the Christian was another source of c-rrn- fort. this faith was two-told. It ac cepted the death and the resuerrection of Cbri-st. The two are inseparably' linked. The deduction is thai the dead will rise ami be with Him. The ground for this faith is the promised the resur rection. All are awaiting the coming of Christ when His mission will be ful filled. Nothing was lost by dying be fore the coming of Christ. : After; reading a brief- biographical sketch of the deceased. Rev. McKillop became more personal in bis remarks. The deceased had for twenty-five yea's Held membership in the Baptist church, and soon alter uniting with the. chu'-ph. be was ordained as deacon in which capacity he served . without intermis sion until the time of his death. 'He was ever faithful. "None were more respected, none were more loved. In the prayer meeting and in the general church services'.

Dr. Kantner said he could not -believe with Shakespeare that the good men do is interred with them, die believed in the immortality of good V.cds and in the influences of Deacon Kay. He men tioned -the generosity of Mr. Kay and his kindly ministrations to the pojr. The man who lived such a life did not live in vain. He was glad that the iime had not yet passed when men migni rise by effort, character and manlvood. such as the deceased had accomplished.

Rev Hunsaker's remarks were largely 'of a reminiscent nature. . He told of Mr, Kay's conver sion and the general charades of the deceased. 'Whenever he was con vine ed of something that was right and should be done at all. he wanted to see it immediately-accomplished, lie con cluded with a few remarks of consola tion to the bereft widow and the sor rowing relatives. ."We'll Neer Say Good Bve in I leaven" -was very sweetly sung by tbe choir and an opportunity was given to view the" remain.. v This concluded the services and the remains -were taken in charge by the Knights Templar and convevr-rf o Rural Cemetery, where, under their auspices, interment was had in the family lot.
