General Grant has been grossly and

peace and hated bio0dShed. but it was

ness of insight, Grant resembled Wash

! AoNDon, August 4.-The following is
Canon yFarrar's address at the Grant
memorial service in Westminster
Abbey, today. His text was taken
from Acts, chapter XIII, verse xxxyi
Eight years have not passed since
the late Dean Stanley, whom Americans |
SO loved and honored, was walk
ing around this abbey with |
General Grant, explaining its wealth
of great memorials. Neither OF them |
had nearly attained the allotted span of
human life. Both might have hoped
that many years would elapse before
descending to the grave, full of years
and bonors. This is only the fourth
summer since Dean Stanley fell
asleep. To-day we assemble at the
obseduies of the great soldier, whose
sun set while it was yet day, and at
whose funeral service in America
thousands are assembled at this moment
to mourn with The weeping family and
friends. I desire to speak simply and
directly, with a generous appreciation,
but without idle flattery, of him whose |
death las made q ltiOn mourn |
His pr; ate life, his faults or fsilings of |
character, Whatever they may have
been, belong. in no sense to the world:I
They are before the judgment of Gods |
merciful forgiveness. We will touch |
only upon his public actions and ser
vices Upon a bluff overlooking the |
Hudson his monument will stand re-
calling to future generations the dark |
pages in the Nations history !
which he did so much to
close" After eloquently tracing |
Genera, Grants boyhood and manhood,
the speaker. said: "If the men who |
unprosperous and ambitious. had said,
if any one had predicted that he would |
become twice President and one OF the !
foremost mr1i OF the day. the prophecy |
would have seemed ridiculous. but |
such careers are the glory of the Anne
rican continent They show the people |
have sovereign insight into the |
the intrinsic force. If Rome told with |
pride that her Dictators came from |
the plough, America may record the |
answer of a President'who, when asked |
what would be his coat of arms, an
nounced proudly, mindful of his |
early struggles, "A pair of shirt |
sleeves The answer showed q |
noble sense of the dignity > of |
labsr, a noble superiority to the vanities
of. feudalism, strong conviction that
men should be honoredNsimply as men
not according to the accident of birth. !
America has had two martyred Presi- |
dents, both sons OF the people-one, |
honely man who was a farm Lad at Z, |
rail splitter at 49, Mississippi boat
man at %, and who in manhood |
proved one of the strongest, most hon
Ored and God-fearing of modern rulers. |
The other grew from a shoeless child to |
be a teacher in Hiram Institute. With |
those Presidents, America need not |
blush to name the ieather-seller of Gal |
