mercy upon US in this hour, when our
souls have nc where else to fly. But we
fly to Thee. Thou knOwest these sor-

20 Thou God Of the widow, help this
stricken heart before Thee. Help these
children and those that are not here.
"Be their father; help her in the dis

childhood. Help this Nation that is to-

Lord, grant from the darkness of this
night of sorrow there may arise better
day for the glory Of God and the good
of man.
1--WE thank Thee for the record of the
life that is closed-for its heroic devo-
tiop to principle.
"We thank Thee, o Lord, that he was
Thy servant, that he preached Thee by a
noble life and example, and that we can
say of him now: Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord; their works do fol
low them.
"Now, Lord. go with this sorrowing
company in this last sad journey, bear

morning that has no shadows, the house
that has no tears, the land that has no
death, for Christ's sake. Amen"
