Vion &8.~dide by side, in a grave an Uroveside cemetery on Sunday atternoon, friends reverently laid to restethe mortal remains or Mr, and Mrs. John . Adams, well known Pickermg Township residents who lost their nves on Victoria Day morning when the ear in whieh they Were GoVillg was sauck by 4 Coat. train at Locust Hill. From jar and near came iriends of the deceased farmer and his wite to pay their last respects, and to show thew sympathy or those lett behind to mourn, Lhe scene at the grave was a touchmg one, anu one jung to be remembered, Captain 1. H. best, 61 VWwiitby Bap- tise cnureh, read tne scripture wih its message of hope of immortality and ev, «a, M. irwm, of the Uniteu church, Whitby, committed dust to dust and - ashes to ashes.' Lears streamed down the eyes or many by- .standers as for a moment or two ai- ter the minister's, hmal words almost an hoy suence prevaded, 'then the crowd moved reverently away, and the last scene mn conn.zhion with tragedy which had moved an cntire neighborhood, yea, a whole province, was c..acted and passed nto listory, At 2.40 an immense crowd gather- ed at the home where the 1unerai service was held, 'Lhe house was crowded to the doors and hundreds stood with bared heads outside while Rev. A, M. Irwin dehvered the fun eral address and Capt, 'tom Best read the scriptures and offered up a prayer. lt was casily the largest ant most impressive funeral service ever witnessed in this ncighborhood, It was, as the mit.ster sad, net $0 muh a Question ot acquaintanceship, tor many did not know the deceased, but a bond of human sympathy, which drew such a large number to- gether. There were tears in many an eye throughout/ the solemn ser vice, A touching scence was that witnes- sed by a few after the coffing had heen closed, The oldest boy, Rich- ard, who lad borne up bravely through ut the servic, asked to sce his father and mother again, The request was granted and he and his smaller brother burst into tears, It was enough to break a constitution of iron. Another touching scene was the procession from the house fo the we ong hearses, There were tho scts of pallbearers, six tor the father and six for the mother, They were: for Mr. Adams: james Cham- hers, Fred Waite, I. Deverell, ¥, West, Jack Richard and Jack Clarke, and tor Mrs, Adams, Sidney Car.ton, Jack Moss, Walter Duck, Wunai. Perrin, Bert Duck and V rank Harris, The palibearers bearing the caskets passed down two lines ol mourners, and it took over twenty men to con- vey to the bearers and waiting cars the many beautitul floral tnbutes sent by kind iriends and sympathiz- ers. In the funeral procession to the grave there wefe well on to a hun- arcd cers and traffic on the highwa was s'op ed until it' came out of tie Audley Road. In his funeral address Rev. A. M, Mansell Irwin, B.A, B.D. pastor ot Whitby Umited Chu.ch, speaking on man's relation to disasters, pomtced out that there were disasters to which man was absolutely passive, and over, which he had no control, such a cyclones, earthquakes and others in which the elements of na- ture were concerned. 'Then there were oisasters in which men were astiveé, for which perhaps they were respynsibie but for which they could be held blameless and ignorant, They were perhaps not in the cause but they had an active part in them, Oi such were engineers who ran their trai » over broken %ails and bridges but were not responsible because they did mot know. "What is the answer to *he question of disasters?" asked Mr. Irwin, as he proceeded io refute some of the arguments of men. One was that they were the will of God, but this he did not believe as it savored too much -oi the doctrine of fatalism. If it were true then it left man a nonentity with no responsibil- it. God did not will disasters on men althongh thy were sometimes worked out by God's forces but. uot by His will. On the other hand, said the minister, some held that disas- ters were always the "resuit of sin. This, however, was an old Jewish be- Lief, as the Jgws held that a man who was prosperous was a good man and the man who was not was sui- tering the penalty of sin. Jesus, dur- ing His ministry, when he reierred to the eighteen men who were slain by the fall of the tower of Siloam, declared this doctrine to. be false. While sin always penalized the sig- ner, suffering was mot the ri of sin, as good and bad men suffered alike. Disasters were due to a lack of knowledge of 'Ged's laws or a neglect to obey them. Lack of kuow'edge caused disaster. In 'the case of the deceased, Rex. Me. Irwin attributed. the grea isas had fallen upon them and broken up a home to a miscalculation of the near approach of the train, a lack of of the car's momentum and a misjudgment of distances, and : yet. Ma could not be charged against ' yc driver that he was negligent. He was active in the disaster but it was no discredit to him that he and his wife were victims, It was simply a lack of knowledge. The way to sai- ety is knowledge, said the minister. A child or electrician' might touch a live wire and suffer disaster through a lack of knowledge of God's laws, therefore it behooves all to learn the laws of God, Rev, Mr, Irwin pic- tured this occasion as the background for heroism, as in the quiet unseen working of a home, a boy of would assume, be believed well, great responsibilities. It was also an oc- casion for a clear cut demonstra- tion of brotherhood. None could live in this neighborhood and stand idly by while a boy of 17 undertook the responsibilities of carrying on'a home and looking after chiildren, Here was a chance, said the minister in closing, of demonstrating brother- hood im its finest form, To the funeral' came peo; le from all 'over the county, and t floral tributes covered a very hi area, They came from Mr, and Mrs, George W, MeLaughlin, Oshawa; Mr. and Mrs, G. N. Irwin, Whitby, for whom the deceased father had worked; and numerous friends and sympathizers, One, of the most touching was that from the children bereft of a fgther and mother, TWO OF ACCIDENT VICTIMS AT HOME H. Gladdy, Third Man Hurt By Fire Pumper, Still in Hospital (B su Reporter) Whitby, Two of the three victims who a rushed to the Osh- awa General Hospital, two weeks ago today, as the result of being struck by the big motor bumper of 'the local fire brigade when 'it ran into a crowd of people on a side road to the King- ston highway while answering a call to a burning truck two. miles west of here, have sufficiently recuperated to leave for their own homes, The Times were informed today.

A. M, Irwin, The service, which was a most fitting one, was marked by an inspiring sermon hy Rev, Irwin and spee- ial music bythe church choir. The Whitby Citizens' Band lead ia the parade to the church and also from the Chureh to the soldiers' war memorial plot where indiviu- al members of the order placed flowers at the base of the ceno- taph, in honor of the Great War dead. Rev. Mr, Irwin baged his re- marks upon the words of the pro- phet , Micah, as spoken in Micel 66:8: 'He hath shewed thee, © man, what is good; and what doti the Lord require of thee, but Lo dd' justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." The preacher considered it a privi- lege to address members of an order who, if as claimed to be, were descendants of those who had assisted in making England a na- tion of free men, in exalting her to superiority upon the seas and in speading her limite dislana boundaries until an ompire was embraced. JReferring directly to his text, the speaker stated that tho writer Micah was a man of practical na- ture and that he had made this positive assertion in the Old Tus- tamoent was full of negative com- mands, He thought that it was important for men to do justly and to love mercy hut unless they al- so walked humbly with: God then they could not attain the highest spiritual o perfection. One of the chief duties of the chureh, claim- ed Rev, Irwin, was to pron e- ligion. Analyzing religion, he found that it did not consist of prasipg God, or worship or even praying, but ° rather fellowship with God, Men might be devout in performing religious exercises but still lack religion hecause they, ware not, in the words of the pro- poet, walking humbly with Cod. The pastor pointed out that the church had in many . ways at- tempted to promote this relation- ship with God, In carly times it had tried through ritual or cere mony but this had not achieved the desired result, Late in En land, duripg the Puritan period, the long sermon method had been used and churchgoers listened to three-hour sermons on heayy doc- trinal questions, In this genera- tion ihe: attempt had taken the form of extensive social service work and good although these things: might be they of them- selves had not promoted man's re- lationship with the Creator, be- cause in many cases they had not affected man's character, The speaker believed that the majority of people if convinced of sin would repent of it and that likewise many would show more reverence to God if they were convinded of His presence. Iven 80 he considered that it remained for the individual to find relation- ship with Gpd and to do justly and love mercy. * Special music by the choir in- cluded two well-rendered anthems, "Rejoice, the Lord is King," and "Take Thou My Hand," while a male quartet consisting of Messrs. A. W. Lynde, John Patterson, Wi. Ayres and Edward Evans sang in splendid voice the number, "Wel- come, Wanderer, Come Home." Upon leaving the church, .he lodges then paraded to the Sol- diers" War Memorial Plot, where after the ceremony of decorating the cenotaph. members and specta- tors revérently stood with bared heads while the band softly play- ed "Abide With Me."
