The last sad rites over the remains of 
“the late John Baker were held last Sun- 
°F 
lyend;’ but was it untimely? 
day afternoon at the Congregational 
church, the Rev. L. H. Ruge, pastor of 
the ehurch, officiating, assisted-by Rev. 
T. L. Frost of the Baptist church. 
The church was crowded by friends 
and relatives of the deceased, the Odd 
Fellows and the Horticultural society at- 
tending in a body. A quartet composed 
of Mrs. Raymond C. Allen, Mrs. F. 
C. Rand, F. J. Merrill and A. L. Saben 
sang ‘‘ Lead Kindly Light’’ and “‘Abide 
with Me.’’? The prayer was offered by 
Rev. Mr. Frost. Mr. Ruge’s remarks 
were founded on a text taken from Job: 
‘No man is sure of life.”’ 
** Nature has recalled these words 
with thundrous voice the past week,”’ 
he said. ‘‘Men say ‘this is an untime- 
It was 
sudden, but not untimely. The great 
‘chronometer of the universe never makes 
a mistake. There are sudden deaths in 
this high pressure age, but no untimely 
deaths. Every death is in_ perfect 
sequence in the wheel of life. 
‘Is this the end? As far as the eye 
“and ear can measure it is the end, and 
as far as the mind of some measure this 
that cans:not measure beyond this.

and much 
darkness before we come out into the 
sunlight of life. But we shall never see 
each other ‘face to face’ until we apply 
our hearts unto wisdom.’’ 
Following the services at the church 
the body was taken to Rosedale ceme- 
tery, where the Odd Fellows conducted 
their services. 
The floral tributes were many and 
most beautiful. The pall-bearers were 
Frank P. Knight, Fred J. Merrill, D. 
T. Beaton, Raymond C. Allen, Horace 
Standley and S. A. Sinnicks, all mem- 
bers of Magnolia lodge, I. O. O. F. 
Deglan A. Walsh. 
Funeral services over the remains of 
the late Deglan A. Walsh were held last 
Saturday morning at his late residence on 
Pine street, followed by requiem high 
mass at the Sacred Heart church at 9.30. 
The church was well filled with relatives 
and friends of the deceased, the Holy 
Name society, the Foresters and the 
A. O. H. of Beverly attending in a 
body. 
The mass was celebrated by the , Rev. 
Fr. William F. Powers, and was sung by. 
Henry Sullivan of Natick. ‘The cere- 
- mony was of a very impressive nature.

Fr. Powers, in his remarks, was very 
plainly affected. He spoke of the. loss 
which the community had suffered and 
the gloom which was hovering over all,

is not to be computed by gray hairs, but 
by deeds. He was a man who gloved 
his family, who worked hard for his 
family, and who worked every day and 
every hour for his family. He has com- 
pleted his life well in the sight of God. 
Not one word has been said against him; 
not one shadow has been brought against 
his name. He lived as Almighty God 
would have him live.’’ 
Beside a widow and five sons and 
three daughters, Mr. Walsh is survived 
by a mother, Mrs. Katherine Walsh of 
Quincy, four brothers, —Edward Walsh 
of Quincy, who was in northern Ver- 
mont at the time of the accident, 
William Walsh of New York, Michael 
Walsh of Quincy, and John Walsh of 
Boston, and three sisters,-—-Mrs. Ovide 
Paquet of Milford, Mrs. Thomas Carey 
of Charlestown and Miss Katherine 
Walsh of Boston. 
The body was taken to Salem [for 
burial in St. Mary’s cemetery. 
“Business Fools” 
Rev. Theodore Lyman Frost preached 
the fourth of a series of Sunday evening 
sermons on ‘‘Fools’’ at the Baptist 
church, Manchester, last Sunday, his 
special subject for the evening being 
““Business Fools.”’ 
“In God’s word,” said Mr. 
Frost, 
“*the business fool is a rich farmer, or, 
Old age’ 
as we might call him, a gentleman farmer. 
He would tear down some of his barns 
and build larger ones, and prepare to 
store the tremendous harvest. All he 
seemed to care for was idleness and. 
pleasure and mirth; a full stomach, light 
heart and still lighter head. 
““ He felt he was bigger in his own 
eyes than God. God spoke to him. 
*Thou fool! This night thy soul is 
required of thee and who is to get all this 
that thou has stored up?’ ’’ 
‘The preacher then pictured the mod- 
ern business fool, first the rich man, 
second, the man who stays home Sun- 
days and makes out bills, planning 
his work for the rest of the week, third, 
the man who would be religious but he 
loves money too well, and lastly the 
housewife who bas a well stocked larder 
and likes to hear the rustle of silk skirts, 
etc., but who is too busy with these 
things to devote any time to God.
