Rev Isaac Erret, of Cincinnati then
4liyertd an eloquent address, taking
n his text the following: And the
rrbers shot King Josiah, and the king
nd to his servants have me away for
am sore wounded" etc. He said:
There was never a mourning in all
he world like unto this mourning,
| AN not speaking extravagantly
hen say, for am told it is the re-
hi, Of calculations carefully made
om such data as are in possession, that
sr,ainIy not less ttan three hupdred
billions Of the human race share in the
hdness, and the lamentations, sorrow,
nd mourning that belong to this oc-
aston here to-day. 1t Is a chill shadow
\ fearful calamity that has extended
tselfin;oeyery home in this land, and
hto every heart, and that has project
d itself over vast seas and oceans into
is,aut lands, and awakened the SINGER
}. and proioundest sympathy with us
b the hearts Of the good people of the

FORTH while, my friends, to pause a
homent and TO ask why this Is? 1t is
oubt,ess, attributable in part to the
rOnderous triumphs of science and are
bithin the present century, by means
which time and space have been so
hr conquered that nations once far dis.

P these great offerings Of coincidence

(arious nations of the earth, and be-

|he fatal blow that has taken away our
President from us-and yet this will by
y means account tor this marvellous
nd worldwide sympathy Of which We
re speaking. Ye5 it cannot be attribu-
ed to more intellectual greatness, for
lere have been other and there are 9th
great men; and acknowledging all
nav The most enthusiastic heart could
lMm for our beloved leader, it is tut

lnefe is no one department in which he
