Ir. 3tolm Alleu iKtnnaman John Kinnaman was a rare and unusual individual. He manifested a maturity far beyond that of most men his age He had learned to wear life as he wore his coat— with an easy grace. He learned what many of us fail to learn though living three score and ten years and that was to accept himself without hatred, or fear, or pride, but with a willingness to live life as best he could within the limits imposed upon him. Having learned to accept himself, he learned also to accept with a friendly feeling and a sense of belonging, his world about him. Furthermore, he had learned to accept other people as people without making undue demands upon them or requiring perfection of them. He had a ready smile although apparently never used to impress people or to gain their favor. It was an honest and sincere expression of his own inner feelings. As a re- sult people quickly learned to trust him and to become his friend. This is one of the highest achievements of any man s life Along with his acceptance of himself, his world about him and his neighbors, he had also accepted the eternal and ' opened his heart to be grasped by and made a part of all the spiritual resources available to any man. Now that he has returned to his Father ' s house, he has left a rich legacy Henry Ward Beecher once said, You find the worth of a man when you put your hand into his heart instead of his pocket. It is the spiritual which has permanent value. This legacy is governed by laws not man- made. Every man may take as rich a share as his lite is prepared to receive. Obligation falls upon family and friends alike to take this legacy and to develop and conserve it for it, too, repre- ent the labors and savings of a lifetime. It is too precious to dissipate and too sacred to trifle with If properly han- ded it may make it possible to project the hfe of the de- parted into the distant future so that he lives effectively m the lives of others for a far longer period than he was able to live in the flesh.
