SO great and good a man should be
stricken down by the bullet of an
assassin in the very prime of his use
fulness and az the zenith Of his fame.
would seem to eontravene the divine
wisdom. Mr.. Mckinley was a great
man. He will go down into history as
one of the great Presidents, but that
to me is not his chief distinction. He
was Christian man in the best mean
ing of the term. At time when COM
paratively few men in high place are
devoted or even active churchmen, Mr.,
Mckinley was both. Under all tie
strain of that tense period in which re
was called to preside over the involved
destiny OF our republic, he maintained
a calm and mental ecu poise that were
remarkable. This was in part no doubt
dispositional and a result of long men
tai habit but also l think it was
result OF his unfaltering faith in God.
| recall an incident that occurred about
the beginning of the Spanish war. A
clergyman friend of mine who was
lifelong friend of the President, called
at the White House. He saw him only
a few moments, for the pressure of fast,
hurrying events was upon him, but as
he left, Mr.. Mckinley put his hand up
on his arm in the cd familiar way and
calling him by name, said, "You Viii
not forget to pray for me.
We bless God for such a man and
that he was spared so long to serve his
cay and generation. Now that he is
gone, we cherish his memory, and with
regard to the providence we can only
say, borrowing his own last utterance,
1t is GODS way. His will be done.'"

Yesterday the Rev. Gregory Bleak
ley, pastor of the Wesley M. e. church,
in the course of his discourse paid the
following touching tribute to our
martyr President:
"All attempts to delineate the life
of our dead President are in vain. No
sculptor has genius enought to rear
for him the temple of his renown. No
poet can compose fitting epitaph;
only God is the competent eulogist OF
such a brave magnanimous soul.
Our nation puts on sackoloth for
her de.d hero, her brokenhearted cry
is. How are the mighty fallen in the
midst of the battle?' View President

The Rev r. h. Bigger. Phi. D.. pas
tor of the Third Presbyterian church.
pays the following touching tribute to
the late President:
How shall find words TO express
my tribute to this great and good
man. He is personally loved by all
as few Presidents have been loved.
He was man of the people. always
and everywhere a man among men.
1T was his good fortune to do for
his fellow citizens, all through his
public career just what they seemed
to need He was a friend TO labor
strong in his sympathy with toilers,
advocating the eight hour system; be-
lieyed in arbitration of labor difficult
ties; recommended legislation to pro-
tect workingmen in hazardous oecupa-
tions; and to secure them a more con-
sderate treatment. On the other
hand capital reposed in him the ut
most confidence.
His nobility of soul was revealed
in his face; his manners and in his
public utteranees. He was quiet. dig
nifed, firm, modest. sympathetic. In
all his greatness he was self-forgetful
and considerable of others. A few days
ago amidst all sufferings, he said. i
am sorry to have been the cause of
trouble to the Exposition oh the
pathos, the nobility of such self-forget-
fulnessi
"He was at all times man of his
word, unwavering in his integrity, un-
yielding in matters of principal. He
believed in temperance with all his
heart. He loved the Holy Sabbath day
and on that day he worshipped God in
the church.
His home life was tender and beau
tiful beyond description, and will be-
come part of American history.
"As a soldier he should be elassed
with Grant and Sherman; as an ora
tor with Daniel Webster; as states
man with Washington and Lincoln.
Above all this great man, soldier, ora
tor and President was true Christian
unspoiled by office. His prayer of
forgiveness for his murderer, his last
utterance, The Lords will be done,
together with his whole life of Chris
tian manliness. proves that he was
child of God. and have no hest
fancy in saying that his soul Is III
Heaven to-day"
