Etttf
At ST. Peters Cathedral yesterday there
were no special memorial services, hut on
Sunday at High.Mass Very Rev. A. Van De
lVyyer, viclrgenefal OF the diocese, made
short but very feeling allusion 10 the melan-
chOly event which had plunged the nation
into mourning. He spoke in condemnation
OF the daslardly crime Of the assassin, and
how the terrible tidiDgs had affected the
whole civilized world. Day after day, he
said, the bulletins from the siek.rOom OF the
stricken chieftan were scanned by anxious
millions, hoping against hope for the resto-
ration 10 health OF that precious life; and
when at last the end came, and God called
him TO Himself, the most distressing cries OF
grief rang through the land aud were
echoed and reechoed IN the remo,est parts
OF the globe. Monday, continued the
speaker, had been set apart by the new
Executive as a special day OF humiliation
aud mourning, and well might we unite in
the universal demonstration Of sorrow, and
give expression 10 the heartfelt sadness felt
BY all; sorrow and sadness because the
father had been so cruelty taken away from
his family, for we also looked upon him as
la father whom God in his infinite wisdom
bad placed over us TO guide and direct our
temporal affairs, and it was but right and
natural that we should mourn his loss. The
Holy Father at Rome but few days before
the death Of the President had addressed
his people throughout the world, impress.
ing upon them the respect they owed to the
temporal authority placed over them by
God himself. and how they should respect
the laws and revere those into whose hands
they bad been coDfded for execution.
Father Van De Vyver concluded by tx.
horting his hearers not to forget, in these
days Of mourning. the duty they owed TO
the Almighty Ruler, and pray that He may
shower his benefits over the whole land,
and give to the new Tuler-the successor OF
the late Cbief Magstrlte-the ability to ad-
minister the affairs OF the Government with
justice and equality to all, and in a manner
that would be pleasing TO him.
