the superficial and his work has made
much trouble in the state. When
President Mckinley was stricken
down, the editor Of that paper sent
out letter that he desired to have
wide publicity. In 1t he asked that
socialism be not blamed for the crime,
and he denounced in unmeasured
terms the assassin. Which was all
right as far as it went. But did you
hear Of any Republican meeting ask
ing the people to forbear laying the
blame upon itP Did you notice that
any Democratic organization passed
upon such an appeal Did you hap
pen TO see any account Of any relig-
ious organization in the country that
disclaimed accountability for the
crimeP Have you had notice from
any lodge to which you belong that
it did not encourage by word or act
the commission OF the crimeP Do
you know Of any man who has gone
on the street telling that he said
nothing to cause the murderer to
conceive in his heart the crimeP
Why, then, do you think that this So

Il is not in the volume OF words
spoken during active participation in
the affairs of men, nor in the acts
connected with the administration OF
the affairs OF q nation, alone, that a
character can be read faithfully and
truly, but in the light Of the last
message left behind. The words and
deeds OF a lifetime rather explain
and embellish the man after the
bright light Of last message has
revealed his innermost heart and life.
But when the right focus has been
obtained, one Is ready to look back
along the record of a life, and read
clearly, and judge more accurately.
Vision is obscured by confusion OF
tongues and Kaleidoscope senti-
ment while events are Transporting,
but when the sum OF life is taken
and viewed through sublime and
glorifed deathbed, where, in the
presence OF infinite omnipotence and
finite impotence, the heart Is laid
bare, as the lips exclaim: May God
forgive him." while yet the smoke
Of the cruel revolver Is curling up
ward and the bloody-handed assassin
stands before him; or when in In
finite tenderness and love he turns to
the dear and frail companion Of his
life, the flower that had blossomed
for him and filed his life with
fragrance and the nation with . new
and hallowed reverence for home,
sweet home, when his eyes met hers
in one last, long yearning look and
he says: 1T is Gods way-His will
be done, not ours" or while the death
chill is slowly creeping upward along
the extremities towards the heart
which the grim hand Of Death is
reaching out to still forever, the soul
goes reaching upward step by step
on that beautiful hymn, Nearer, My
God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee" until
the very gate Of Heaven is passed and
he is ushered into the presence Of his
God and Saviour; when thus the pure
