MGLYNN'S ADDRESS.
After another hymn by the choir,
Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn spoke. Prior
to his address, the vast assemblage had
preserved a church-like quiet, but the
| ringing words of DR.. McGlynn soon
evoked an outburst of applause which
could not be repressed.
DR.. McGlynn spoke with great feel
ing, but his evident grief at the loss
of his old friend did not prevent the
display of some characteristic flights
of eloquence by him. DR.. McGlynn
said:
The place where we meet here this
afternoon is not one dedicated to re-
ligion, or to the service of God. but has
generally been used for purposes OF
recreation or amusement, or of art. 1t
has today been made sacred. and we
meet here upon holy ground and stand
ashamed in the presence of a message
directed to US from the throne of God.
It is no ordinary message. That mes
senger of death has brought to our
hearts that which has immeaSureably
shocked US.
I'VE stand upon ground that is made
sacred by the remains of man who
was raised from among US by our
father in heaven TO spread the mes
sages of truth and Righteousness and
justice and peace to all. He died in
struggle for the cause Of humanity,
and especially that of New York, but
it was altogether too small for his
broad mind and indomitable courage.
He was" said Father McGlynn,
simply a seer. a prophet, forerun-
ner sent by God. and we can say in all
reverence and in the words of the
Scripture, that, There was a man sent
from God whose name was John. He
was sent to bear witness of the light.
L believe 1 am not guilty of any
proclamation of the sacred Scriptures
when l say there was a man sent from
God and his name was Henry George.
DR.. McGlynn was here Interrupted
| by applause throughout the hall. and
seemed deeply affected. He alluded to
the touching eulogy bestowed upon
Henry George by DR.. Abbott, as ex
pressing What he thought Of him as a
friend and brother.
Henry Georges gentle heart" the
cause be saw that nothing come from
the professors of the school. of Do!it-
ical economy which could improve the
condition of the people, because the
knowledge Of those economists vas
hardly 70 be considered within the
bounds of science at all. Truly, it was
designed by providence to raise up
such a man before the world TO ex-
pose the fallacy and the injustice of
their reasoning.
Wherever word has gone that Henry
George is dead, his teachings live and
his voice is heard. though ne lies still
in death His works have been read
throughout the world, and in every
language known in the universe

John 5. Crosby. who has been one of
The most active campaigners for
George, vas the last speaker, and the
only layman who spoke. His address
dealt more with the duty of the pres
ent, in accordance with the principles
laid down by Henry George. rather
than with mere eulcgy of the dead
teacher. and evoked applause even
more energetic, perhaps than the re-
marks of DR.. McGlynn.
The last address was concluded
shortly after O'Clock. and the meeting
was dismissed, with directions from a
member OF the committee as to the
manner of dismissal from the hall.
Nearly all OF those present took ad-
vantage OF the opportunity offered 10
view the face of Henry George. and
the march past his coffin was contir-
ued as it had been in progress during
the day.

to be crying.
When the open space in front of the
