luatc to express the admiration. rev
erence and love we feel for the hus-
band, soldier, citizen, statesman. pa
riot, President and Christian whose
ife has been so wrought into the high
est and noblest destinies of this nation
md by whom so much has been
achieved that is great and good. pure
and true in the sight of God and man
not for cur land alone, but for all
,ands and all time

with unspeakable horror the creature
and the deed which has bereft the ma

this, and that we hold in equal destes-
tation the men and the teachings
which we charge with an awful respon-
sibility for this monstrOus crime
against God and against humanity.
sixth. That we call upon the nation
and upon the several States thereof to
engage with the utmost determination
and promptiude in the too long de
layed work Of Kidding our land of law
ess men who day and night in secret
and openly, work anarchy, ruin and
death in the very midst of a free people
whose strong and now fatal forbear-
ance has so long given them a home
within the borders of lawabiding ma
tion.
Finally. That we impress upon our
selves upon our countrymcn every
where the paramount duty of such
self-repression in the stress and strain
Of this awful hour as Shall maintain
the supremacy of the law and show
ourselves worthy OF him. who. when
stricken down by the blow of an as
sassin. could calmly commit him to the
hands Of The law, as he exclaimed with
supreme conception of the obligations
lof American citizenship Let no harm
come To him." And now we pray thai
evermore the citizens of the land o
/, Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley may
prove worthy OF our trio Of martyret
i Presidents and emulate their exampl,

Righteousness which exalteth a nation
