Excerpt from Sermon Preached at the Funeral of Samuel J. Hayes, Superintendent of Machinery of the Illinois Central R. R., September 25, A. D. 1882

Death does not wrap the mind in slumber. Sleep can never seal the eye of thought, nor quench the ¿ame of hope and love. Disease can never paralyze the soul, nor death enchain, nor the grave imprison, the Spirit that is winged with immortality.
