, shattered at the fountain, and the
wheel of an earthly existence ceased
its revolutions at life's cistern his
eternal happiness commenced. TO
death does net end all. Death Is only
a change in the mode of existence. s.
only sudden curve ia the stream OF
being, only new paragraph ia the
history Of d life, only The swift
transfer of the soul across the valley
OF shadows to the celestial city where
Christ resides.
jeremiah says The small and the
great die Walk through Nestmins-
: ter Abbey aud st. Paulis Cathedral at
London, tread the numerous ave-
nnes Of the Pere la Chaise at Paris, -
visit the Pantheon and numerous
cathedrals at Rome. Nnmberless
magnificent tombs, costly columns
elaborate figures of ehiselled marble
echo Jeremiah's words THE Great
die Dying as our great President
died they enter on an everlasting
sphere of higher usefulness and en-
larged bliss.
The text also speaks OF
THE TWO GTEAT ELEMENTS IN
TIE BLEssEDNEss or THE
sAINTED DEAD.
The first is
REST FROM LIFE's LABoRs.
| This is an existence Of toll, a land
of labor--a world OF work Very few
Ravens OF repose fringe its stormy
shores Men OF all professions earn
their support by the sweat OF the
brow. Multtudos OF men aud women
under ponderous taxation of body
and mind, are hurrying To premature
graves. What hard worker was the
murdered President2 He has always
1 been dlligent and active man,
Throughout his years Of Youthful
study during his four years Of army
life-and when he served numerous
terms as conspicuous and gifted
member OF enngress--and while for
two terms Governor of Ohio.-and
throughout the years Of his presiden-
i tial life, he was assiduous, well occu-
pied and notably employed
He rests from his labors. Rest is
the goal Of effort aud the end of am-
bition Paul says arhere remaineth
a rest for the people OF God That
rest IS In the metropolis Of the uni
verse--the most glorious city of all
worlds--a city IN which multitudes
Of martyrs, such as Presidents Lin
coin, Garfield and Mckinley have been
assembling themselves ever since A bel
the first TO join sthe noble army Of
martyrs" pioneered the way from
earth to heaven rest where family
lgf91rs IT, tie Presidents who have
loved with the imperishable fame Of
a deathless affection, shall eternally
renew, beneath the foliage Of the tree
of life, their sundered intercourse.
| In this celestial city William McKin-
ley will find rest--rest from sin that
will never unbolt the shining gates,
guarded by angels;--rest from sorrow
that has run its keen ploughshare
through the burrows of ali great
souls;--rest from pain that has water
ed earth's couches with tears--the
rest in which John declares s.there
shall be no more death"
4 AS the President began to sink, be-
fore death, into unconscioushess his
physicians heard him chanting the
famous hrnn OF Mrs. Adams,
Nearer my God to Thee
4 Nearer to Thee"
Then to the Americon people, whose
idol he was, he transmitted the final
address Goodbye all: good bye. 1t
Is Gods way. His will be done''
| Tho favf o1co fa1lc 40 that
THE WORKS OF THE CHRISTIAN DEAD
FOLLOW THEM.
| This implies that they were moral
workers in the days of terrestrial life.
No true Christian lives in moral idle
ness. Christianity crowds life with
important duties and transfigures its
subjects into cn-workers with Jesus
Christ.
| President Mckinley was life long
religious and philanthropic worker,
and yet calm, cool and sedate man.
From statements made concerning
him, by his pastors for thirty years,
from Dr. g. w. Smith to DIR. Frank
Bristol, the late President was con-
scientious, godly virtuous and devout
man. Says the text Their works do
follow them" What were his works?
Read his military record from the
pens of the four generals on whose
stats he served His deeds on TIE
battle fields for the preservation Of
the Union, follow him. Was he the
friend OF American wage earners?
What benedictions his protective tariff
| bill brought to the millions of our
toilers for bread! This work follows
him. All oye- the Republic he has
delivered numberless patriotic adj
dresses. Their influence follows him
What did he do for the release Of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands from Spanish oppression?
These great and successful works fol-
low him. What did he do to place
before the monarchs of Europe and the
American public an example Of a
chaste, tender and Ideal husband?
