: US TRIBUTE
; TO TOWNSMAN
y
y~ Yesterday afternoon a public mem
1 orial service was held at the Empress
theatre to pay tribute to the memory
of our lute townsman, Dr. Charles
Eealie Hale, who suocumj)ed to an at
" trek of Spanish influenza. There was
a large turnout of friends, notwith
standing the incUunent weather.
Mayor Hillery presided and made
the opening address in which he
eulogized the diseased, paying a de
served tribute to a man who was be
loved by all who knew him. Hev. A.
O. Shriver read some appropriate
psalms and Kev. E. I*. Ziegler con
ducted a prayrtr. There were two vo
cal solos, Mrs Walker singing “The
Invisible Hand." and Mrs. T N. Hub
bert, "Fear Y<» Not, () Israel."
Rev Ziegler made a shorl address
as follows:
“It is with a keen sense of tin
worthiness and of its grave responsi
bilities that 1 presume to speak on
this sad occasion. It is needless to
say that the hearts and minds of
everyone of us. are preoccupied with
the realization of the solemn presence
of our dear friend. What is it ail, but
a testimonial of that justice which
descends from heaven upon one who
neither hoped for nor sought th«
slightest recogntion of his many
virtues. Fly what charm does hi* de
niand this memorial, these tributes'.'
j Was he a ruler who now sleeps in a
• gilded tomb, after having gloriously
governed his people? Was he a vie
[ | toriouH conqueror who had visited his
| prowess to the ends of the eerth? Did
he found nations or build empire ’
Was he a prince of industry, control
ling vast enterprise, of manufacture7
No, no none ot these, yet more than
all; he is a man who had neither won
the laur Is of a conqueror nor founded
empires, nor controlled wealth, ye?
v ho with a look or a word forever
hound us to him by a tic no less than
that of a la tine fritted hip a:nl endur
ing admiration and love This quiet
physician, this veritable good am
aritan. who poured in oil and wine
;:u he bound up the traveler’s wound5,
wl.o walked in and out these streets,
so modestly, over whose grave every
man, woman and child is ready to do
honor and drop a tear. This audience
is an unmistakable testimony to the
; high estimate you all put upon him
1 who now lives cold in death. I thank
Hod that such is the object of this as
scably. and also for tin* justice which
is promised in his name, to the mem
ory of Doctor (diaries Leslie Hale."
Rev. Shriver made an extended ad
dress, from which the* following are
; •»* rnf « •
"\V,. have met to pay tribute to the
: memory of one of our distinguished
| and respected fellow citizens, who so
i re ently was called to the great be
yond. To question his departure
would lie to doubt the wisdom of God,
who doeth all things wisely.
"Dr. Hale spent over fifteen years
In Alaska practicing his profession In
Seward, Katnlla and Cordova. While
his profession did not call upon him
to pass through many of the rigors
of his fellow pioneers, vet. he stood
shoulder to shoulder with them shar
ing w ith them their successes and dls
appointments. His character began
to expand with the likeness to the
beauty, the strength, the quietness
and the vastness of Alaska. We ad
mire the breadth of his sympathetic
vision, the warmth of his wholeheart
| ednesii and the depth of his unselfish
| rer.s. These made him a man to be
respected and loved by all. Friend
j ships on e gained he was always able
' to retain.
"Thu four walls of his office did
not constitute his world. He was so
unlike the man in Pilgrim's Progress
i know n as the 'nu n with muck-rake.'
i This mull was always so busy gain
ing wealth for himself that he did
) not have time to see the misfortunes
i or sorrows of his followmnn. Nor did
| He offer a helping hand or a word ot
| cheer. Dr. Halo was kind, sympathetic
and generous.
“He believed i.t Alaska. He bought
real estate and mining property and
thus aided in developing the country.
“Being of a reserved nature people
know little of his kind acts but death
Is u revealor. In turning out some
lights, it turns on others, it ex
tinguished the Light of Intelligence
l that shone from his eye, the Light
of Cheer that fell front his face Into
the lives of others but it turned on
the Light of Publicity and directs our
attention to the man. I believe wc
are comemorating the name of a man
■who looks larger when ho 13 dead
than alive. There are reasons for
that, one was his exceeding quietness
of the man, he sounded no trumpets;
/
made no noise, called no attention t»
liis doin'.- ; He shrank from puhlirit)
or any kind < f self adoration. He wat
li. oral, free-hearted and was glad t<
be abh* to give a cup of bless ng t<
an anxious and troubled herrt. A*
