LiberaIity.
 The exercises at the Hebrew temple
 on Orange street yesterday were at | tended by an audience heterogeneous in it's religious beliefs, but homogene-
 ous and harmonic in it's patriotism. There were many prominent persons present The services, simple and im-
 pressive, were representative of the American idea of liberality of thought and were participated in by representa- tives of four different denominations. Rev. David Levy, rabbi of the congre- gation, opened the services with the fol- lowing prayer:
 l Almighty God, our Father, Thou who art our only first and last resirt, the children of Thy favored nation draw nigh unto Thee at this hour with an afflicted spirit and a bereaved soul. A prince and a great man hath fallen in | Israel, and the hearts of eighty-f1ve millions of people are melted into one. | We bless Thee, o God for the faithful | servant whom Thou didst raise up as the chief magistrate of this great na- ton, whose life and character are the l inspiration of our lives. We thank Thee for the pure and noble example of his character, for his loyalty to duty, for the strong yet tender affection for wife, for his faithfulness to friend, his devo- tion to his country and his loyalty to his God. We thank Thee for the un- bidden faith which nerved his manly heart in the trying ordeal of his tragic end, for the forgiving spirit which re- flected the soul of the martyr, the hero and the sain.
 We pray Thee, our Father, that in this hour of our national bereavement we learn from him the lesson of sub- mission to Thine unerring wisdom, and join him in the prayer Tt is Gods will, He knoweth what is best" We pray Thee, God, that Thy consolation and support may come to the grief-stricken widow, sharer of his joys and compan- ion in his sorrows. May she take com- fort in the remembrance of his deep re- ligious soul and draw the waters of con- solation from the fountain of his hopes and trust.
 We pray for him who through this painful dispensation Is called upon to preside over the destinies of this na- ton. Inspire his heart with wisdom from on high that he may worthily ad- minister the trust assigned him, guided ever by the fear of heaven and the mo- ble example left him by Thy departed servant.
 Hear us, o God, as we pray for Thy blessing upon our nation. May we ever be true to the high mission to which Thou hast called him and become the happy and prosperous people whose God is the Lord And as Thou art eternally one, so may Thy children everywhere, of whatever name or form, be ever one in love, one in purpose and endeavor, one in the safety of Thy eternal right eousness and one in Thy praise.
 Hear us, O God, in this hour of our weakness and of our sorrow, and for Thy name sake answer and save us, for Thins is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
 Following the prayer by Rev. MT. Levy, Rev F. Winslow Adams, of Ep- porth M F. church, addressed the as- semblage on President Mckinley as Man"
 REV. MIR. ADAMS ADDRESS.
 I am to speak of the domestic life of cur martyred president. There have been other presidents of high domestic virtues; there have been presidents of we'll developed religious natures, and presidents of the first order of states manship, and where these qualities are found at their best they are often found blended in one personality; cer- tainly it was so to pre-eminent de- gree with William Mckinley. And while he may never be considered first among American statesmen, history will undoubtedly rank him among the first. and while he may not have been more religious than others, yet his sublime faith and devotion to church, will ever remain among the noble tra- ditions of our republic; but in the sol emn beauty of domestic virtue we shall hardly find a parallel. In speaking of the single phase of the man-the man in the home--I only break shaft from the perfect whole, which to be under stood must be taken in its relationship to the whole. But as the family Is the oldest institution on earth, so 1t is from the home we must trace the virtues, which have made the character of Will liam Mckinley so resplendent in pub lie life, and which explain the pro- found, the intense, the unparalleled sorrow of the present moment. Not that other presidents have not inspired the greatest degree of loyalty, but has it been quite the same kind of loyalty? There was reverence and awe for Washington, admiration for Jefferson, hero worship for Jackson and Grant, kinship for Garfield, but that warmest affection of the heart was alone reserv- ed for Lincoln and Mckinley. And it is not too much to say, that to-day, William Mckinley Is the best loved of the presidents.
 It is in his domestic virtues then that we find the charm of his personality, and the secret of his power. for here alone do we cross the sacred threshold where the real man lives. Thus truly Mrs. Mckinley spoke the first day of the ill-fated visit to Buffalo, You can not appreciate MT Mckinley, for to do that YOU would have to know him as do. he is so kindly, gentle, patient, and he never forgets me- and then as if she might have said too much she added q do not say this because he Is president but because he is my hus- hand" But we do know it at least in a degree, and it Is this that makes the country love him to-day. A friend said to me this summer, beyond the glamour of public receptions at the rIo,,eo 1,aua eojOyed r1osf thn
