Work on Entire System.
Yesterday, as a memorial day to
President Mckinley, was observed by
the railroads by general closing Of
their ticket offices, either for half a
day or for the hours of the funeral.
The observance of the occasion was
more general by the Plant System
than that by any of the other roads.
Gen. Supt. Denham had issued an or
der to the entire system. that at 1890
O'Clock, standard time, every train of
whatever kind or wherever it might
be, should stop for five minutes; and
that every employee of the system,
whether on the road, in the office or
in the Shoes, also at the same time,
should quit all work for the same
length of time The orders were car
ried out as given. OF course the
schedules were thrown out for a short
time. but the lost time was soon made
up on the run.
The ticket offices of the Plant Sys-
tenn, the Southern and the Seaboard
Air Line were closed for the whole aft
ernoon after l o'clock. That of the
Central was closed until 4 p. m. The

a Christian man. Two words unite with
us in showing their love and interest
in him. He was no ordinary man, for
his life was interviewer with things
eternal. He will live eternally Not be-
cause he was President of $4,000, 600 of

God, was his prompt reply This. DR.
Schaeffer said, was the overwhelming
thought of President McKinley's life
as he thew himself into the service of
the people. The people of the world
to-day pay tribute to his memory. and
the most striking part of the spectacle
is that the people are sincere in their
mourning. The tribute is not to the Of
fee, but to the noble Christian charac-
ter OF the man. Though twice elected

ner OF his death he strengthened the
Christian faith more than the minis
tiers of 1000 pulpits could have done.
DR.. Schaeffer dwelt feelingly upon
the last words of President Mckinley
His will be done; not ours" Onlv
those who had led such pure and I'M
rigt lives as had this dying man could
utter such words, he said. These words
have been scattered far and wide
through the world by the agency of
the press. and have done much to
strengthen Christianity. They are an
inspiration to young men, who are
wont to speak fiippantly of sacred mat
tiers. The value of Christianity, of
life, noble and beautiful even in death.
was ably stressed by DR.. Schaeffer.
1T has been contended that he was
not statesman, and that he was not
a great man." he said 81 contend that
he was great, for to be good is to be
great, and few achieve such great
ness. So, as to-day we weep with 75,-
100000 people, we hear a voice from
heaven saying: I am the resurrection
and the life; blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord; yea, for their works
do follow them Oh for such faith as
William Mckinley had. 1t is the divine
spark which makes life worth living.
When the soul of this good man passed
into eternity the angels must have
thrown wide the gates of heaven and
welcomed him to the home of the
blest, where to-day he wears a crown
brighter than earthly king ever wore.
Let us then together thank God from
the fullness of our hearts that Will
liam Mckinley was a Christian man."

Presidents Made Impossible.

Presidents Made Impossible.
The concluding prayer was by Rev.
Monroe ]. Epting, who pleaded that the
lessons of President McKinley's death,
as we'll as those of his life, might be
brought home to the American people,
and that laws might be passed which
would make the repetition of such
crimes impossible. He also prayed that
his successor in office might be guided
by the divine power in conducting the
affairs of the nation.
The beautiful hymn, Lead, Kindly
Light" was splendidly rendered by the
choir.
The closing hymn was Nearer, My
God, TO Thee" said to have been an es-
pecial favorite with President McKin-
ley. The hymn was sung by the entire
congregation with much fervor and
pathos.

full and impressive language, prayed
for a continuance of the blessings of
God. peace, plenty and prosperity upon
those present and the nation at large,

the designs of evil-minded men.
