IL o clock with all the solemnitv aud impressive
ness which a vast coneourse Of anouruer- and the
presence OF the highest dignitaries % church and
state can add to the beautiful ritual No rellg-
ions ceremony in Boston ever attracted such
widespread attention. and the only one which
approached it was the Conservation af Bishop
Brooks in the same magnificent edifice less than
eighteen months ago
That was an occasion Of joy this OF the
deepest and sincerest grief. For Massachusetts
mourns today sne has not done Tor many Q
year. No one seems 10 have dreamed that
Phillips Brooks, the impersonation Of life and
energy, could die. Has untinely death Is
recognized public calamity. He had .
work TO do whose Importance he recognized -
clearly as any one else
LYING IN STATE.
The body lay in state in the dim religious
light" OF the west porch of Trinity Church this
morning from O'Clock until n. The west
porch only was open during this hour, hut
thousands availed themselves OF the opportu-
nifty to at least enter. look once more on the
familiar features and. perchance, breathe .
PRAYER beside the casl1et.
Throughout the morning the bier was guarded
bv q detachment from the LOYAL Legion OF
which the bishop was chaplain. with the coiors
of the legion at the head and foot Of the casket.
At IL o'clock the inner doors Of the church
were unlocked
All the clergy of Massachusetts had been in
vited TO attend and a surpliced host from this
and other states were present and we're given
precedence in the seating Of the throng.
With them came VIM. 4. Russell governor Of
! the commonwealth: delegation from the legis-
iature. the mayor of Boston and other pubic
officials. The president and overseegs Of Har-
ward University. the class Of IS at Harvard of
which he was a member: a committee OF the
Loyal Legion and the clergy OF other denomi-
nations than that OF which he the great
pillar were all provided for at the services
Such in brief is the description Of a company Of
| lnouruers that for social and intellectual emil
nence has never been equaled in Boston.
The wealth Of Boston and the learning Of
classic Cambridge united with the dignitaries of
the state to do the great preacher honor. They
with the pew holders OF Trinity.
Bishop Brooks old parishioners took mp
almost all the seats in the spacious edihce. AZ
| ii 80 O'Clock the few seats that remained we're
given to the public, who entered from Copley
| Square.
THE CEREMONY.
The ceremony was impressive by its very
simplicity. IL Was the service Of the Episcopal
Church, conducted by Bishop Potter Of New
York. assisted by Bishop Clark Of Rhode Island
| and Rev. DIR. E. Winchester Donald. the rector
| Of Trinity. A number OF other bishops both
from the New England and other states bad
seats within the chanceL There was no eulogy.
The music consisted Of two fayorite hymns
| of the deceased. sung by the old quartet OF
Trinity, 10 which DIR. Brooks had 20 often lis
| tened when rector OF the church. Mr.. J. &. u.
Parker. the former organlst of the church.
touched the chords with the skin the bRhop
was wont to admire.
| TAKES TO MT AUBURN.
The service ended the great teacher. who,
having no child nor wife. had taken all human
| ity into his heart, borne away from the
towers OF Trinity TO sleep his Last sleep in Mt
Auburn.
Though no word of eulogy was spoken at his
| funeral. no man has died in Massachusetts in .
! century who has received such universal senti-
| ments of love and esteem as have honorea the
| beautiful life of Bishop Brooks. Press and pco-
pie, clergy and laity, have voiced at once their
sorrow admiration and affection. No clergy
man ever received such tributes from the daily
press, both within and beyond the boundaries
of his diocese.
All the leading stores in Boston closed be.
tween II and O'Clock in honor OF the bishops
memory.
1t is now proposed TO erect statue Of Bishop
| Brooks in Copley Square. Trinity Church. the
! new public library, the art museum and the
new "old Sonth" Church the grand arehi-
tectural features which surround this matchless
site.
Oliver Wendell Holmes indorses the idea in
| these words: 1T is admirable suggestion.
The site is no less fitting than could be desired
for so noble a figure and character, but the
| associations make IL peculiarly He WIS
nodded as il nature meant that he should be
reproduced in statue. and his line corresponds
in its majesty and power and purity with the
| ideal embodied in his personal presence.
