original with great skin. have thought that
some of the Pauline spirit of bodness and gen.
tleness, blended, rested upon him.
He had great reverence for the family and
relations. His example as son. husband and
father is a glory to this nation. He had most
kindly nature. His power over human hearts
was deep and strong. He won men to him. He
had no enemies. The hand that struck him
was not the hand of his enemy. but the enemy
of the position, the enemy of the country the
enemy of God He sought to do right. man.
ward and Godward. The call of duty was alb
soute with him. He entered upon his high
office at its mandate. He said to me: ''You
are gladder than l am" He found however,
supreme satisfaction from the ready and obedi-
ent service which he rendered to this ruling
principle. Because of It, his actions needed no
explanation and no apology. OF the nomination
he wrote me: II should feel the heavy
burden which it brings: but when
meet the duties Of each day as best l can. /
ing that the responsibility rests not with me-"
1t was in this spirit that he met wounding,
wasting, death and his God. 1t is an example
that will live. Like the opposite mirrors in the
East room at the White House. which reflect
and re-refect images in indefinite procession. till
the eye can no longer follow their receding in
the distance, so the power of such life will go on
endlessy He was grander man than we knew
He wrought even in his pain better work for
the nation than we can now estimate He fell
fault of his; but we may, in some sense rever-
emily apply to him the words spoken of his dear
Lord: He was wounded for our rtransgressions:
He was bruised for our fniquities; the chastise-
ment of our peace was upon Him." As the ma
tons remember the Macedonian as Alexander
the Great, and the Grecian as Aristides the Just,
may not this son Of America be known as Gar
field the Good?
Our President rests! He had Joy in the glory
of work, and he loved to talk of the leisure that
fn inn ho has &c ic
the clay. precious because of the service it rem
dered. He is freed spirit; absent from the
body he is present with the Lord. On the
helghts whence came his help he finds re-
pose. What rest has been his for these four
days! The brave spirit which cried in its body
am tired, is where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are are at rest. The
patient soul which groaned under the burden of
the suffering flesh, 80, this pain!' is now in a
world without pain
Spring comes; the flowers bloom; the buds
put f0rth the birds sing Autumn rolls around:
the Drds have long since hushed their voices;
the flowers faded and fallen away; the forest To-
mage assumes sickly, dying hue; SO earthly
God.
The pageant moves; the splendor of arms and
the banners glitter in the sunlight; the music Of
instruments and of Oratory swells upon the air.
The cheers and praises of men resound.
But the spring and summer pass by and the
autumn sees a nation of sad eyes and heavy
hearts; and what is true remains of God. '.The
Eternal God is our refuge, and underneath are
the everlasting arms"
