That we extend to their families our sincere sympathy in the loss sustained by them, which loss we sorely feel. That, recognizing the transient na ture of this life, we commend their loved ones to the fatherly care of Him who doeth all things well, and rejoice with them in the consciousness of hav ing enjoyed the companionship of men Whose lives have been an inspiration te, the younger men of the country, and t benediction to all the people.
