to those who come.
The mem orial services which were held
at the Methodist church last Thursday in
honor OF the late president, were very suit
able and Impressive. The mills were shut
down and all places of business closed.
The school children attended the exercises
and sat in body filling nearly one half of
the church, while the mem Ders of the G.. A.
R. Post and the citizens filled the remain
ing seats. The band and the C aoir were
in attendance. President McKinley's
favorite hymns, LEAD Kindly Lig Mt" and
"Nearer My God to Thee" were sung, one
at the beginning and the other at the close
of the service. Rev. Mr.. Lewis made few
opening remarks, and called on Daniel
Skinner who spoke for the Post. B. F. d.
Carpenter spoke of the late president as
statesman, and gave a very excellent ad-
dress. Rev. J. B. Lyman took for his sub

lived as peacemaker at home in his own
country and as peacemaker abroad. He
was a noble representative of the broad
spirit of democracy-greati in domestic vir-
tues-a lover of home, exalting it to a type
of heaven. He gave US a new national
hymn, ''Nearer My God to Thee" The
speaker brought out many points of inter-
est which we cannot mention. Rev. Samu-
ell Lewis spoke OF William Mckinley as a
Methodist and a Christian. One point
which he emphasized was this, namely:
that the young men of America could see
that it was no detriment to the highest
honor that a man was Christian. The
late president was a representative of al
that was pure, noble, and exalted and hisl
