Rachael weeping for her children and will
not be comforted, ecause they are not; ia.
theirs for their 6rst-borp. the pride and stay
of their future years: children their parents;
and millions sit cold in the atmosphere Of
death. III ourning the departure from earth
of man dear to their hearts, who had
reac he'd the term Of four score of years.
Grant that the solemn In. stery of death, the
common heritage of us all. the meaning of
which all must know ere long, may soften
and mellow our hearts and feelings into the
noble gentleness of the golden text uttered
by the most ,onspiouOus man OF the century,
in whom tenderness OF heart made greatness
of station and character more illustrious:
