Pastor B. C. Lippincott held a m
ial service in Emmanuel Church in the
evening, He took for his text 9 Sam. 8:
3S. a great maj is fallen this day in Is
rael. He gave a brief account OF Presi-
dent McKinley's life and craftsmanship
and said that some OF the best tributes OF
his honor and integrity had been given
by Democratic journals. Early in life
Mr.. Mckinley surrendered himself to
God and joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church. He served it faithfully as trus-
tee, steward, Sunday School Superintend-
ant and local preacher. This faithful SER
vice made him great. His domestic life
was most beautiful and he was a model
husband to his invalid wife.
The manner OF his being stricken down
by an assassin was a great calamity. Any
mar who has murder in his heart should
be put away, eXpatriated. While the
calamity was sad yet he believed God
would bring a great blessing out Of it Tor
the country. DIR. Lippincott said he had
great confidence in God because He has
promised that all things work together
for good to them that love Him. Presi-
dent McKinley's rising from humble life
by being faithful to every trust should be
an example and encouragement to others.
