land deprived of habltatlon, there will /
love my sweetly-smiling, sweetly-speaking
Lalage."

Hinsdale Of Hiram College. who was intr )duced

80 God the sad experience Of this day
teaches us the Truth OF what Thou has told US
in Thy word. The grave is the last OF this
world, and the end of lifo Earth to earth
dust to dust ashes TO ashes. But we believe
III the doctrine of the Immortality of the soul,
less life. Therefore, o God our
Father, we look to Thee now for the greatest
blessing. We pray that fellowship and saliva

the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Comfort
or, may be with all who have been in to-days
assembly. Amen"

treasured them as priceless boon. The gen.
eral crowd broke i'll about this time, and in les5
time than il takes TO tell il the rich carpet of
flowers and sprigs had almost vanished, and
was being carried off in pieces 10y the relic
hunters. A guard was left at the vault, the
procession returned, and in few moments
more the line Of mourners was vending its
way back to the city, the Cabinet officers stop
ping at the Euclid Avenue Station, where they
took their special train back to Washington,
Mrs. Garfield returning to the residence of
Mrs James Mason, where she remained until
the following day, when she embarked on the
saddest journey of all, the trip to her once
happy Mentor home.
