Dr. Joseph Richard Sizoo. On entering the church Dr Sizoo read “I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord; he that be lieveth in Me, though he were dead, vet shall he lve, and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never at None of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord, and whether we die, we die unto the Lord; whether we live, there fore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and revived that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. “We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Then he read, also, the twenty-third Psalm “The Lord is my shepherd 1 ehall not want.

Another squad of motor cycle officers will follow as a rear guard Two chains of high-powered broad- casting stations carried the funeral services at the church to thousands of persons east of the Mississippi’ River.
