J, er to the deceased Chief Magistrate of a
mighty nation he vividly portrayed
his industry, his great perseverance
and his uafailing and high sense Of
honor. His whole life can be taken as
excellent lessons for youth. He has
fallen at his post in the discharge Of his
duty, but his memory like that Of oul
murderel Lincoln, has become entwin-
ed around the great heart of the nation
f. and will live forever.
AT AsBuRY
Amongst the notable sermons
preached yesterday in memory of the
death of President Garfield, was that at
Asbury, by Rev. Charles Hill. He took
his text from Seco1d Kings, Chap. 11th !,
verse 3D.: "And the sons of the proph-
ets, that were at Bethel, came forth to-
Elisha and said unto him, knowestl
thou that the Lord will take away]
thy master from thy head to day, and|
; ahe said, yea, | know it, hold We yourI
peace" Mr.. Hill in his usual eloquentl
ySand impressive style of preaching de-
8llvered one Of the best and most e.fec-.
tive sermons he ever preached.
He was not only affected himself but
the majority of the congregation were
moved to tears as he dWet upon theI
Nchristian character of President Gar.
field following from the time he was a.
youth until his untiILeiy death. Mr.I
2fIill attributed the greatness of Carl
field to the pious teaching of his devo...
mother. He also held him as a it'll
representative Of the dignity of labor
He referred also the nearness into which,
The nation had been brought by thei
death of Garfield and he believed that
at his death he wa, the greatest mani

Sdo, and eXaorted his hearers to emulat,
Z his christian character, so that they like :
: him, may, when the tolls Of life are
