This last sad event the thunder of divine wrath
the tremendous event Of centuries II had thrown o.
whole nation into such mourning that they all turned toA
their congregations weep and lament funeral
The entire nation had been smtten every loyal household
mourned; every man. and child bewaled II with
personal loss Verify In the midst Of triumph God had
made us weep and mourn This even, was the most |,
in the record OF empires In the midst
shall be exalted and the crime had been committed and
come upon suddenly to be almost supernatural
This was lesson from God for our good taught us

such the lesson OF destbhe death Of good and
honored President Many would have given their life
were he in strength, holding the destiny Of thirty
millions Of people to-day he was lifeless corpse. Az

tion and the next moment stricken down in his power
together because Ia the interest OF all There many
who have had death in their doors; but by none and
never has death been felt as this-ths lesson Of

. The REV. DIR. WILLIAM ADAMS.
The church OF the Rev. Dr. Adams al the corner Of
Twenty fourth and Madison avenue crowded
to yesterday morning The pulpit and surround
ings, well the columns and balconies, were draped
in black white and the whole internal appearance
Of the ednce solemn and impressive In the
extreme
The Rev Dr. Adams preached most eloquent sermon.
He said that this day the anniversary Of
recon OF our blessed Lord from the dead, and day
o JOY celebrated and observed among all Christians He
had expected TO have met his congregation 10 rejoice
Instead OF condong with them. there was everything
70 rejoice for In the memories brought by the fss
VA oil the hesuHecuoni but alas we were also called
upon TO mngle sorrow with joys In bewailing
the loss Of the bonored bead Of the nation But
Ia few days and the country was In the height
Of W. rejoicing for our numerous victories by land
and sea- the early breath Of spring blew calmly upon
flowers sdornns our national banner everything tended
70 the cessation Of and the Of peace But how
changed was all ths ny sudden stroke at tho hand of
teacherous assassin the President Of the United States
has been taken away from US and from by the whole
ration has been thrown into mourning II may be said
that this not the first time that such thing had &C.
CURED in history Richard the First shot at his own
table and Henry the Fourth of France was brutaly
assassnaed But there is parallel In history to the
terrible and barbarous which has just 10 lay
our good and honest President in the grave Such will

petrated II any deserved the respect and 4
