ADDRESS BY DIR. ERRETT.

The Vocal Society sang hymn and
then Rev. DIR. Errett, of Cincinnati, de.
hvered an address, taking for his text
the verses beginning, "And the archers
shot King Josiah, and the King said to
his servants, Have me away for ] am
sore wounded. His servants, therefore,
took him out of that chariot and put him
in the second chariot that he had, and
they brought him to Jerusalem, and he
died and was buried in one of the sepul-
chres of his fathers, and all Judah and
Jerusalem mourned for Josiah, and
Jeremiah lamented for Josiah"
The address by the Rev. DIR. Errett
did not depend for effect upon the
graces of oratory or the beauties of
rhetoric. 1t was a plain and earnest
review of the life and work of the late
President, an appeal to the living to
profit by the lessons of his death, and
a prayer that the stricken family might
find comfort in communion with God.
Rev. Jabez Hall then read General
Garfield's tavorite hymn, which was
beautifully sung by the vocal society,
as follows:
Ho! reapers of life's harvest,
Why stand with rusted blade,
Until the night draws round thee,
And day begins TO fade? etc.

wall will be built around this, of suffi-
cient strength to resist all attempts to
remove the body, and of dimensions
large enough to form the foundation of
the proposed monument. The Mayor
of the city has detailed police force to
be on duty continually until the final
interment.
The day was generally observed
throughout the country as day of
mourning. Services were held in the
churches, bells tolled, minnie guns
fired, and in several cities there were
elaborate funeral parades.
MOURNING IN EUROPE.
In England the day was observed as q
day of mourning for President Garfield.
The flags at the royal palaces were
at half-mast and the blinds were
drawn down. Services were held at
Westminster Abbey and elsewhere.
In the evening the Archbishop of
Canterbury officiated at st. Martin sim
the-Fields, and paid high tribute to
the sterling qualities of President Gar
field. In the provinces public meetings
were held, at which resolutions of con-
dolence with Mrs. Garfield were passed.

The last scenes in the mournful ma.
tional tragedy closed in Lake View
Cemetery, Cleveland, where the remains
of President Garfield were deposited in
the grave. The day dawned brightly and
all through the forenoon the sun shone
fiercely. From early morning people
poured into the city from every dlrec-
ton by the regular trains, by specials,
by team and on foot-miiitary and civic
organizations, excursion parties, FAM
lilies, all intent on viewing the great
spectacle.
The pavilion on the public square,
which contained the catafalque, had re-
mained open throughout the night, and
during the early morning hours it was
never long left without visitors. After
sunrise steady stream set in, which
continued till the gates were shut at 8
o'clock. During the latter part of the
time the people passed through very
rapidly, often at the rate of $50 or 200 a
minute. At 8 o'clock the general pub
llc were shut out of the square and
preparations began for the approaching
services.
By 10 o'clock most of the prominent
people who were entitled to seats had
taken their places, including Chief JUS
tice Waite, General Sherman, General
Hancock and ex-President Hayes.
About 10 o'clock Mrs. Garfield, her
family and immediate friends, and the
members of the Cabinet, with their
wives, left their quarters on Euclid
avenue and drove slowly down to the
pavilion.
Mrs. Garfield was escorted up the
platform by her Oldest son, Harry, and
led Abram, one of the smaller boys,
by the hand. Behind her came the
Presidents mother, supported on one
side by President Hinsdale, of Hiram
College, and on the other by her sturdy
grandson, James. The poor old lady
leaned heavily upon them as she made
her way to her position near the cata-
falque.

THE PROCESSION.

Nothing, however, could detract from
the impressiveness of the occasion and
the strains of "Nearer, my God, to
Thee" rendered by the Marine Band,
of Washington, after the benediction
had been pronounced, went to the
hearts of all. Meanwhile the process
sion had been getting under way and
the sounds of men marching, officers
giving orders and minute guns firing,
had mingled with the prayers and
addresses.
displays of the kind ever seen in this
country. A few minutes after II the
coffin was carried from the catafalque TO

drawn by horses four abreast, which
Immediately took its place in the pro-
cession. Mrs. Garfields carriage fol-
lowed, and after came others containing
the remaining members of the Presi-
dents family, near personal friends, the
Cabinet and other high officials.
The column was headed by the vet
eran volunteer organization, the Bos-
ton Fusileers. They were followed by
long concourse of regular and citizen
soldiers, and Masonic and other socie
ties. The whole distance of six miles
was lined with spectators, and the jam
in the immediate neighborhood of the
square was terrible. The funeral car
moved slowly, and it was not until
nearly three o'clock that it reached the
graveyard.
AT THE TOMB.
The ceremonies at the tomb were
brief, but impressive. A profusion oi
sombre drapery over the receiving vault
was relieved by a graceful distribution
of flowers. The path from the carriages
was strewn with evergreens and flowers,
and the vault itself had been made q
bed of roses. Mrs. Garfield did not
alight, but scanned closely every detail
Chaplain Jones of the Forty-second
Regiment paid last tribute to thei,
dead leader. The German vocal society
sang again, the Rev. Mr.. Errett offered
a final prayer, and all was over.
Re-entering their carriages, the
mourners drove back to the city. The
military and Masonic escort left the
cemetery in the same order in which
they entered it, and kept in line until
the catafalque was reached, where they
were dismissed. Gen. Smith, the Adju
tant- General of the State, will furnish 9
guard as long as the body remains ir

THE SERVICES.

Promptly ut 10:45 o'clock the cere.
monies at the pavilion began. The
immediate members of the family and
near relatives and friends took seats
about the casket, and at each corner was
stationed a member of the Cleveland
Grays. DIR. J. p. Robinson, president
of the ceremonies, announced that the
exercises would open by the singing OF
Beethoven's Funeral Hymn" by the
Cleveland Vocal Society, whereup, II the
hymn was sung as follows:
Thou art gone to the grave, but we viii not
deplore thee,
Though sorrow and darkness encomr the
tomb,
The Saviour has passed its portals befor, lee,
And the lamp of His love is thy hght thro

Portions of Scripture were then read
by the Right Rev. Bishop Bedell, of the
Episcopal Diocese of Ohio, being those
contained in the burial service of the
Episcopal Church. Rev. Ross G.
Houghton, pastor of the First M. e.
Church, then offered prayer.

of subjects, some of which are new, compre- |
hending those principles'of most vital i'm |
portance to our work, are to be opened by |
men of experience, and closely discussed by
the entire body Men Of long experience,
eminent ability and rare conservation will
come from other States, adding their ener
gies to ours in this, our common cause.
1t is matter of greatest possible impor-
lance that every association send as many
delegates as possible, and that no associa-
ton be without representation.
1t is most earnestly desired, too, that
where there is association, the churches
send representative Christian young men,
for, however small the town or village may
be, we are determined, wherever we can
find half dozen Christian boys, to have
an association We want now, to COM
| mence to build all over this our beloved
State, foundations for the structure which
shall follow Let the pastors send their
boys, that they may go back to their homes
and churches filled with new life and zeal
and energy in their work. q,
| We want the pastors, themselves, to come,
too. We need their sympathy and their
prayers, and we need the experience that
the years have brought them, and we want
them to know more of our methods and of
the work of our young men.
We want all Christians to come, and
since there is much to be done-much that
must effect the Christian welfare of Tennes-
see-we do sincerely beg that all come pray
ing, that every thought and act of every
delegate may be so tempered with Gods own
spirit, that all may tend to a grand aggre-
gate result for His honor and our good.
The railroads of Tennessee, approaching,
as they always do, the importance of large
attendance, and of putting the cost within
the reach of all, have made for this occasion
the exceeding low rate of two cents pei
mile ; SO the cost of the trip eau be no ex-
cuse to the poorest of US, since there will be
no other cost than this
1t is desired by the Knoxville committee
on arrangements that A. B. Bixby, theil
general secretary, be notified on or before
October 0th, of the number of delegates
who will attend from each association. 1t il
, important that this should be promptly
DONE that arrangements for entertainment
may be made.
There will be about 125 delegates present
!. and the demand for places of entertainment
will be very great. 1t is hoped that ou
citizens who are able and willing to enter
tain delegates will report the fact to tn
, general secretary at their earliest conven
!, fence. ..-

Third Annual Convention of the Young
Mems Christian Associations
of Tennessee.

Third Annual Convention of the Young
Mems Christian Associations
of Tennessee.
Nashville Association Bulletin, Oct l.
We doubt if any body of Christians have
ever looked forward to representative meet
ing, anticipating more real pleasure and adj
vantage than have the members of the Ten
nessee associations to the assembling of
their convention at Knoxville, October 1916.
Our last convention, held at Murfreesboro
one year since, assembled and held its ses-
sions under circumstances particularly pleas
ing. Our delegates were the honored
guests of the most hospitable people of that
ture, and the whole people were as ear
nestly interested in the work of the
convention, its progress and results, as were
the delegates themselves Many thoughts,
vague and underlined, were developed into
living principles there; many lives, want
ing spirit and enthusiasm, energy and de-
cision, gained new conceptions of Christi
anity-new motives for other exertions and
higher purposes.
The results of that convention will live on
and grow into new life, with the growing
magnitude of our associations.
We meet again, and among good peo-
pie, than whom none can be more inter-
ested in our work and our welfare Knox
vile, through its representative citizens,
tells us:
"We are greatly rejoiced at having the
convention meet in our city, and look for
ward to it with intense interest Let us
come together with but one end in view
Gods glory and the salvation of immortal
souls"
The convention, if possible, is to be one
of greater import than was the last one. 1t
will represent larger aggregate member
ship, and the greater number of the dele
gates will go to this work, not only with the
lessons learned at our last meeting, but with
the experiences of another year, with its &C
tive, practical work in the cause; then, list

UNLESS. President Arthur ans
nounces changes in the Cabinet next
week, it is not likely that any will be
made before the meeting of Con-
gress in December. 1t is now less
than two months until Congress
meets, at which time the President
will send in with his message, the re-
ports of the heads of the various
departments. If new men are to
come in and prepare these reports,
it will be necessary for them to come
in at once, and their names will
doubtless be announced early next
week. If the reports are to be pre-
pared by the present heads of de
partments, it is not likely that they
will be displaced before these reports
are in.
