REV. MIR. MACKINTosHs ADDRESS.
| Rev Alexander Macintosh was the
first speaker. He spoke as follows:
He is not dead, but sleepeth." DO
not laugh these words to scorn. The
man who so lately crossed the river be-
lieved in Him who said Il am the res
direction and the life, whose believeth
In me shall never die" That prince
among men who was so ruthlessy cut
off in the midst of his noble career by
the hand of the assassin, who asked that
, peace and good will be on earth and
was so solicitous for his people, will
never die. He is one of those who have
the power to reverse the poets thought
and prove the good that men do lives
after them, the evil is inferred with their
bones. The president Is free from the
} tickle heart pulsings and humanity of
man. but it was an in!quitous deed
which deprived this nation of his great
personality. There is a mystery that
must content us to see through the glass
darkly. But the day will come when
we will through the enigma clearly.
We must probe the mystery and inquire
I why such a foul crime should enter the
r thoughts of men, and bring such woe
into the world There must he in this
, land of freedom, some sore which needs
, the physicians balm or the surgeons
knife. 1t was the aim of President Nc
|
nations together, to advance ways and
means for the help and prosperity Of his
l country, yet he was stricken to death
in the midst of his work This is why
> We mourn. OF what nature Is our grief
, Is 1t the passing concern for the great
lmar? Is II only the result of the trouble
we are in? If there is anything so fleet
ing I'm our woe, the lessons we learI
. from the tragedy will not be brief oI

bring good. Remembering always 1t Il
