Auother Funeral AddreM From Col.
Kobert W. Iujjcrsoll. ' :;
.... ' . i i
A year or two. since au address of
Col. Ingersoll at the funeral of his
brother went tho rounds of the press
and was much admired for. its elo
quence and pathos. Quite recently he
delivered another at tho funeral
of a child which is not less remark
able. "We copy it below. The reader
we think cannot fail to tee in this
utterance of an avowed infidel to the
Christian faith the unquestionable in
fluence of that faith however uncon-
sciously to him on hia mind and heart.
Where else could ho have derived
his "hope for tho dead" beyond thoir
"perfect rest?" Even this avowed
atheist finds comfort in the traditions
of the Christian ! faith. . The speech is
permeated throughout by its influence.
We think the idea would bo quite in-
conceiveable of a purely pagan phil
osopher making suca an address on
such an occasion. 1
Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
At. fhfl inneral of the little son of
Geor?e O. Miller a detective and an
active politician of this city this aftor-
noon Bob Ingersoll officiated. Thero
was no service at the house. ' Iho
fnffin was taken to tho Congressional
Cemetery where Colonel Ingersoll
joined the funeral party lie made a
brief address when the coffin had b( en
lowered into the grave. Tho folkw
ing is the full text of his oration:
Mv Friends I know how vain .t is
to eild a crief with words and Vv t I
wish to take from every grave its foar.
Here in this world where me anu
death are equal kings all should be
brave enough to meet what all tho
dead havo met. The future has been
filled with foar stainod and polluted
by tho heartless past. From tho
wondrous tree of luo the Diula ara
blossoms fall with ripened i fruit' and
in tho common bed of earth pa triarchs
and babies sleep side by side. i i ; ' ;
Why suould we rear mac wmcu
will come to all that is? Wo cannot
tell wo do not know which ia tho
greater blessing life or doath. . . Y o
cannot say that death is not a good.
We do not know whether tho grave
is tho end of this life or the door of
another or whether tho night 'thore is
not somewhere elso a dawn. Neither
can we tell which is thu more fortu-
nate the child dying in Us mothers
arms before its lip3 haye learned to
form a word or ho who journeys all
tho length of life's uneven road pain-
fully taking tho last slow wtepa with
staff and crutch. Every cradle asks
us "Whence?" and every colli u
"Whither?" The poor barbarian
wrfininor nbovo his doad. can answer
these questions as intelligently and
satisfactorily as Uio rooea priest or
tho most authentic creed. Tha tear
ful ignoranco of tho one is jut m
consoling as tho learned and unmean
ing words of tho otlicr.
Nnmm Btiindinr? where thehenzan
of a lifo has touched a grave 1ms any
right to prophecy a future liiieJ witu
mins and tears. It may be tint death
gives all there is of worth to life. If
those we press and strain against mir
li2arts could never die porhnpH tint
love would wither from tho earth.
May be this common fate treads from
out tho paths between our r.carts u.o
weeds of Belfishne:;s and hate; I bad
rather live to love w hore death is king
than have eternal lifo where love is
not Another lifo is naught unless
we know and lovo again the one who
loves us here.
They who stand with uic.a;ng
hearts around this littlo grave nr-cl
have no fear. Tho larger and nobler
faith in all that is and is t3 be tells
us that death even at the worst i i
only perfect rcRt We kr.or that.
