1.-THE splendor of his domestic, social
and civic virtues shines more than even
luminant as it receives new lustre FROM T
his Christian faith. He Is worthy of al
rlace among the immortals OF olassici +
ages. Was Epiotetus gentle and loving
and humble and wiser So was he. Wasl
Aristidea incorruptibleP So was he.
Was Cesar brave? So was he. Power L
did not spoil him, nor lust of gain dill (
vert him from the right. A plainl
patriotic, God-feafing servant OF the
people.
THE fret time met him, soon afte1 II
his election IN 1896, he said i want

lister this government according to His
will And he was led. Led by thet {
eternal hand Led by the Kindly

| China. 1t led him to encourage and
I promote international amenity. 1T led
him to foster honesty Ia the ourrencyJ \
prosperity in business and peace In thd
state. 1t led him to forgive the hand
that smote him. 1t led him through
