Rankin then ascended the platform at the real
of the catafalque and read, in clear and dis
tinct voice, the following selection of scripture
1.-The Lord reignth. The floods have lifted
up their voice. The Lord on high is mightiel
than the voice of many waters. Clouds anC
darkness are around about him. Righteous
ness and judgment are the habitation of his
throne. By him kings reign and princes de-

sons. He removeth kings and setteth up
kings, for there is no power but of God
The powers that be are ordained of God.
| Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power
resisteth the ordinance of God and
they that resist shall receive to themselves
damnation. Cease ye, from man whose
breath is in his nostrils, for wherein is he to
be accounted of.
For behold, the Lord, the Lord Of hosts,

Judea the stay and the staff, the whole stay
of bread, and the whole stay of water.
The mighty man, and the man of war, the
judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and
the ancient. The captain of fifty, and the
honorable man, and the counsellor, and the
cunning artiticer, and the eloquent man.
There is no man that hath power over the
spirit. Retain the spirit. Neither hath he
power in the day of death, and there is no
at rest with kings and counsellors
of earth which built the desolate places for

Then answered Jesus unto them, Verify, ,ver

Blessed are they that do His commandments

may enter in through the gates into the city,
and they shall see his face and his name shall
be on their foreheads.

And it came to pass when they came to
Bethlehem that all the city was
moved about them, and they said: "Is
this Naomi?" sAnd she said unto them
"Call me not Naomi. Call me Mora, for the
Lord hath dealt very bitterly with me, I
went out full and the Lord hath brought me
home again empty, For small amount have

And Jacob died and was gathered unto his
people, and Joseph went up to bury his father
and then went up with them, both chariots
and horsemen, and it was very great COM

And when the inhabitants of the land saw

according as he had commanded them, for
they carried him into the land of Canaan and
buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which
Abraham bought for the possession of bury

Rev. Isaac Everett then offered prayer. He
spoke in a clear but low tone, and with much
|
confusion, through neglect of the committee
arrangement to provide seats for the choir,
many of his utterances were lost:
"Our beloved president" he said, "was
raised by the voice of the people to the chief
magistracy of this great nation. He was
stricken down by murderous hand, cut
off in his glorious promise, and all the
high hopes and expectations connected with

as we stand in the presence of this fearful
calamity, may our hearts be exceedingly hum
bled before thee, and, as we are short-sighted,
we pray that thy hand may be reached down,
and we may be taken through this darkness
out into the light, and enabled to realize
that ever in the thickest darkness thou dost
not forget to be merciful, and while we deeply
feel beyond what we say in words the bitter
ness of this affliction, we cannot forget, Oh,
Lord, how much we have to be thankful for.
We desire to praise thee, that though the
president dies the nation lives;
that though our chief mags-
trate Is thus cruelty and violently
taken away from us, the government moves
on in the peaceful performance of all its
functions; that there is no jar in its machinery,
and that the blessing of Gods goodness is
still continued to us in all the land. For this
we praise thee, and we humbly pray that the
pray that the president who sits in place OF
our departed may be filled with a
love of righteousness and truth, and
be prepared in every way by
the blessing of God for faithful perform

be able to guide the affairs of this nation with
discretion. May party animosity and strife
and sectional division be overcome by means
of this sacrifice SO that our people in deeper
sense than ever before there may come bless
ing out of this terrible aff1iction
The reverend gentleman then in conclusion
paid an eloquent and touching tribute to Mrs
Garfield. Referring to the noble and Christian
spirit which she exhibited, he exhorted her
to look to God in the days of her affliction
He invited the divine blessing on the father

grace of God, grow up to a noble manhood
and that the loved daughter might rise into s
