A Father's Beautiful Tribute.
The Golden Age publishes the
following beautiful funeral tribute
from a father to his son. it was
dictated from a bed of siekru- ;s /
Edward . Leigh Pell, Richmond,
Va M and read by the officiating
ministers at the funeral of the
father’s first born, Edward Leigh
Pell, Jr., who was a youth of bril
liant promise:
The world has no room for a
boy. He is too rough for its taste,
and in his awkwardness he often
rubs it the wrong way. We treas
ure our men, our women and our
girls, but we only tolerate our
boys —taleraie them with the hope
that they will soon cease to be
boys.
But a boy is like a cocoanut
brought to us i ! resi from the tree,
enveloped i 1 its great l aggy cov
ering. The g o a ess ; s all within,
and you mi. era: t a very heart
to find it. You never know what
is in the heart of a bo./ until it has
been craeke l by some hard vicis
situde of like.
When I was tak: r, s'ek my boy
square ! his f u vers to bear
his father’s be i s. Day after
day he went office and tried
to take his lei ts place; and
when they give him business
worries to b: g he ne lie would
often hide t t; : n his pocket and
jpp f 3 • ' wiin a smiling
face.
His father. .1 not be wor
ried.
q-jq o. ; ■ * cane hr me in pain

they .v ,vv- - n h naw ry
to the ha ,pva! i wc- w to h.m and
said:
“;.Iy boy, you k: ow hov/1 have
always L.uu . \ '■ 1 a ’il my
heart.”
“And I have 1 you with all
my head too,' h.: reyvied. but.
papa, don't wo-: ry; I don’t mind
the operation; 1 am only afraid
you will worry, and it will make
you worse. Don’t worry, papa
And day after day there come a
message of love mom the hosnital
with its admonition not to we ivy.
When at last he began to realize
that he must go he sent for me.
“God has been good' to us," i
said to him, “and we can trust
Him.”
“I am trusting him,” he said.
“We’ve had lots of good times
together, my boy, and we are go
ing to have many more; for I am
coming to you and we shall live
together forever.”
And he gave my hand a squeeze
that broke my heart.
At the last moment, while talk
ing to his mother, his br.Liant
mind as clear as it had ever been
in all his life, he looked up sud
denly and exclaimed:
“They are coming!”
“Who is coming, my child?”
asked the mother.
“Oh, the angels! I see them!”
“And won’t you come for me,
my boy?” asked the mother.
“Yes, yes; good-bye; good-bye;
good-bye.”
And he passed within the veil
as peacefully as a babe drops to
sleep on its mother’s breast.
This is what I found in the
heart of my boy. Perhaps you
will find it in the heart of your
boy, too—
When it has been cracked.
