and these children belong to both of you. Teach that to these children of yours, and teach them to so live that they can always be worthy of the presence of their father. Oft times if you learn to give heed to the sudden strokes of ideas which come to you—impressions of the day time or dreams ofthe night time—you'll find those things presented toyour mind coming true in the very hour, and you'll never be left alone. God will guide you, and bless you, and give you strength for every responsibility of life. Let this day not pass for any of us without we rededicate ourselves anew to the purpose of life. Let's prepare ourselves so that when our time comes, we may lie down to our sleep in the language of that immortal poem, 'like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.' I know that the Lord lives, that Jesus the Christ died for all of us. He unlocked the doors to the eternities by resurrection. This is but one step onward in the development of fife itself. Let's now rally round in this stake, Perhaps President Rich dying can have more influence in Morgan Stake than President Rich living. Who knows? He has given you a mark to shoot at. You'll remember long after he's gone the ideals and the standards and his admonitions. I pray God's choicest blessings upon you, that the peace of heaven will be in this stake and particularly with this fine family whose representative mortal remains lie before us this day. I humbly bear witness to these solemn truths that our Father has given us in the name ofthe Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.70 Endnotes 1.
