BERTHOLD A. BAER. While living in Philadelphia I knew more about the City of New York than the average New Yorker. At the same time I knew less about Philadelphia than the average Baltimorean. : Quite natural; there will always be time to see the home-town, one thinks; let us first see the world. This reminds me of a man who wanted fishing worms. He walked miles and miles to the fields. When he came home his little boy had dug up a can full out of the back Thus I happened to know years ago more about The Funeral Church, and its founder-proprietor, Frank E. Campbell, than the average New Yorker knows “Before we make up our minds’ how to steer from day to day, we must know where are we going,” says Henry Van ‘ke. ' In the knowing lies the beauty of life. Today’s success is the result of yesterday’s prepara- tion. x ; y Two women inspired this article—two women who, bough having lived miles apart, had died as one in in tl ® “Mother’s explicit wish was to be buried by Frank E. Campbell, from The Funeral Church, Broadway at 66th Street,” said her daughter. “Mother directed in her will to be buried from The Funeral Church by Frank E. Campbell,” said the son, a lawyer. This gives rise to another thought: You make a will; you buy a burial plot; you erect a tombstone—why not complete your life’s work by stating in your will that you want Frank E. Campbell to perform the last loving act of kindness, well knowing that his ability to make the funeral arrangements the proper closing chapter of a successful life has been responsible for many letters full of gratitude and appreciation. ; “Good resolutions seldom fail to produce some gore effects on the mind from which they spring,” says harles Dickens. . Why not resolve today to visit The Funeral Church and prepare for the falling twilight in the happy of sunshine?
