All the churches were appropriate

with palms and flags. A large picture
OF President Mckinley, trimmed in

many who spoke were personal friends

Never was there meeting Of mourn
ing where the grief of Akron's citi-
zens over n dreadful occurrence was
more plainly seen than ut the meet
ing which was held Sunday evening
at the Grace Reformed church as a
memorial to President Mckinley.
The church was crowded to the
doors with people eager to show their
appreciation of the extent of the
calamity that had visited the nation.
Some Of Akron's most learned men,
men prominent in local affairs and
having name that has been noised
abroad, were the speakers, and the
meeting was an impressive one. Be-
fore the pulpit was draped large pic
ture of the murdered President.

AT FIRST N. E.
Four Addresses Heard by an
Audience of 1000.

The ordinary seating capacity of the
First Methodist church is 400, but as
all standing room was taken at the
meeting Sunday evening, in the series
of Memorial services incident to the
death Of President Mckinley, it is
believed the audience reached 1000.
Attorney +. NJ. Atterholt was chair
man, and music was furnished by two
quartettes-the First Congregational
quartette, composed of Mrs. n. M.
Wanamnker, soprano; Mrs. s. s.

or; Prof. Wilson A. Putt, basso, and
the q. A. II. quartette, Messrs. N. l..
Glover, W. S. Franks, Henry Chalmer
and O. w. Clarke. Mrs. w. II. Collins
was organlst. There were rs G. A. Il.
men seated together in the middle sec
tlon of seats.
In opening the meeting at 7;30, Chair
man Atterholt said; I'VE have as
sembled to give expression to the pro-
found sorrow we feel over the tragic
death Of our beloved President, VIM.

The concluding address was deliver
cd by
REV. DIR. MILTON r. PRATT,
pastor of the First NJ. Il. church, after
collection was taken for the fund TO
purchase II floral wreath to lay on the
Presidents coffin. Dr.. Pratt talked of
President Mckinley as a prophet. He
said: Ours is IA Christian nation
nearer than any other form of govern
ment to the Christian conception of
human rights and dignity, and we
must In similar degree acknowledge
that our wise and loyal rulers are the
special recipients of divine guidance.
There is a popular notion that proph.
ecy Is simply the history Of events
before they come to pass. But this
dennition is entirely too narrow.
Prophecy is also the declaration of
moral convictions. The man who
takes his stand upon truth and then
gives the world his visions is a proph.
et He may predict what God has
whispered In his ear; he may call the
people to duty; he may only map out
course of action and call the people
to It; he Is justly called a prophet.

''The night is gone"
As these words, In his favorite
aymn, so often brought solace to Pres
sdent Mckinley, when encircled by
gloom, they served the same pur-
pose when sung by thousands of voices
In Akron's churches Sunday-and by
millions of voices throughout this ma
ton.
And. in the same words i'm which he
resigned himself to the Supreme VIII,
multitudes resigned themselves--"It is
Gods way; His WIN, not ours, be
done"
But still the shadow is greater than
the sunshine. No words can Mt this
time dismiss the sorrow finally; they
can only comfort and help to reconcile
the people to their loss, and point out
the lessons taught by his life. The
burden of sorrow borne by Akron
people is scarcely less than that of his
own tOwnsmen at Canton-they knew
him personally as friend, and he was
their President.
In every church In this city Sunday,
words In memory OF the martyred
President, and words Of comfort to
the people were spoken. In the even
ing mass meetings were held In four
of the churches to give formal express

of Akron held President Mckinley,
subscriptions were taken at the mass
meetings for fund with which to

been selected. but it will state that the
offering is from the people OF Akron.
Nearly 5000 was secured Sunday
night, and Mr.. ID. +. Wheeler, In
charge OF the fund, is still receiving
subscriptions.
The four churches In which these

discreditable political convulsions in
which his district, his state and his
nation repudiated him. His doctrines
were discredited, his prestige was
gone. He could live in obscurity but
he could not repudiate his own con-
victions. He saw adown the corridors
of Time, and heard the sounding of
footballs of returning hosts. He went
steadily on, proclaiming his principles,
and waited for his people to come
back. Loyalty in obscurity proclaim
ed his lofty moral qualities, the quail
ties of prophet,
"When the bitter cry of the op-
pressed reached the tender American
heart. there was forceful cry for
to heed that cry. From the press,
the court the Legislature, the pulpit
and Congress the cry-'to arms! arose.
Still he held back. The prophet then
saw what the frenzied crowds did not.
He saw the passing of Spain from
the Western world, released people
unable to govern themselves; the
breaking down CT traditions old as the
nation and dear as the flag. He saw
world empire resting upon this nation,
with duties and burdens uninvited but
| insistent. Firmly, he breasted the
| tide. If the people had possessed his
vision, or trusted all to him, there
would have been no war, with its hor.
rors; and Cuba would have been free.
"The average citizen, today, midst
the wreck of traditions, the breaking
of which we would have postponed a
little longer while the nation gathered,
the maturity of years, sadly acknowl-
edges that we had prophet but knew
it not.
Recently, Mckinley seemed to rise
into distinctly prophetic atmosphere.
Speaking not many years since at
the University at Delaware he said Ill

may not be aroused to the full appre-
citation of it's responsibilities till other
presidents have been shotn
His recent addresses have evinced
a paternal and loftily moral tone which
often suggests prophetic language in
the Old Testament. Grant was a
soldier, Sherman was a. statesmpn,
Blaine was political leader. McKin-
ley combined the firmness of Grant,
the craftsmanship of Sherman and the
| political sagacity of Blaine. Others
have been patriots; Mckinley was
a prophet.
Now he is gone. In chariot of
fire he ascended to his rest.
LET the cold tomb retain his body
till the angel trumpet shall sound the
break Of Eternity's deathless morn
but let his spirit rest enshrined in the

of it. He gave his power for present
needs. There are some who by reason
of superior education or wealth are
classed by themselves, but they are
sadly lacking in the qualities of lead
ership by not having been in touch
with all classes of the people. When
a leader fails it ia because he does
not know all the people. In the war

the people-north and south--all class

Another element Of his greatness
was RepOse. He stood solid against
clamor in war or In whatever he did
In his office. Criticism and abuse did
not change his policies when he be-
lieved they were right. There arc
many false theories Of government

that will proclaim it. 1t is the eter-
nal solicitude of the Infinite that gives
the world its prophets.
Every department of human life
has been provided with prophetic in
fluences, for God is solicitious for the
uttermost welfare of man. 1t is there
fore natural to expect prophets in this
as in Eliiah's age: in social and polit-
ical as in religious spheres. In relig-
ion Beecher and Foster and Drum
moud were prophets; in the political
and social sphere Washington, Lincoln
and Mckinley were prophets.
"Wm. Mckinley was prohpet.
Fundamental In his character, was a
highly developed religious quality.
Serious, meditative, ethically sensitive,
he early developed the capacity and
character of a prophet. Duty and hon
esty became the twin shibboleths of
his life. He was always moved to at
tempt the thing that ought to be done.
When n mere boy, midst the crimsoned
waves Of war, rolling about in tides
OF awful threat at Antietam, the blood
lest day of the war, he saw
his company exhausted for lack of food
yet unable to leave their place In the
battle line. At once he filed a pail
with coffee and with his dipper calmly
entered the shot-cut zone, and gave
each comrade a draught. Though not
writ down in the articles of war, the
necessity of his comrades made II a
duty which the young prophet could
not shirk.
AT the conclusion of the war, he
studied law, soon entered politics, and
rapidly rose In influence and ability.
lie seems to have made a profound
study OF national conditions and pros
poets. He saw the reach and latent
wealth of our vast territory, so large
and so rich that might easily feed, even
enrich the world, He noted the tides
OF immigration that annually rolled
In upon us. He then saw In vision
that mighty industrial expansion that
was coming. He realized the necessity
for craftsmanship that could meet
those special problems which were
sure to arise from these conditions.
Here he is the prophet. Here he fore
sees what others, older and equally pa
triotc, had failed to see.
Nor was his choice the result
simply Of selfish wisdom looking for
personal advancement alone. It was
with him moral conviction that our
lands and mighty resources should
be used to make our people prosper
ous and happy. He would have the
average American home blessed with
every comfort, and the average man
should have opportunity to labor and
live not on level with old world
conditions, but as Americans.

PRINCETON, Ind, Sept. This is the

withstanding the drought, there is every
indication of a big week. The lists of en-

years. While other fairs have gradually
done away with exhibits of art, fancy
work, fruit. grain and live stock. the
Princeton management finds great an in

by. The races are promising. judging from
the long list of entries for the ten harness

member of the Indiana Kentucky fair cir

the big Ferris wheel balloon races and
other attractions of similar description will
