1.-THE remarkable tale Is not all told.
No language can adequately tell Of his
devoted love and tender affection for
the invalid partner Of all his joys and
sorrows Amidst his many honors and
trying duties, she ever reigned supreme
in his affections. The story of this love
hap gone to the ends of the earth and is
written in the hearts of al mankind
everywhere 1t is full of tenderness, full
of pathos ard full of honor. 1t will be
repeated ami cherished as long as the
name of William Mckinley shall live.
1T was these great qualities of the
heart that gave him the place he holds
in the affections OF other peoples. They
claim him for humanity's sake, because
they find in him an expression of their
highest aspiration. BY common con-
sent, he honDred the whole human race
and all the race honor him.
But he vas more than gentle. He
was thoroughly religious and too reli-
gious to be guilty OF any bigotry.
His broad. comprehensive views Of
man and his duty in mis- relation to God
enabled him to have charity and respect
for all who differed from his belief.
His faith solaced him in life. and did
not fail him when the supreme test
came. When he realized the work of the
assassin, his first utterance was a pray
er that God would forgive the crime. AS
he surrendered himself to unconscious
ness. from which he might never awake,
he gently breathed the Lords prayer.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done And when the dread hour of dis
solution overlook him and the last
touching farewell had been spoken, he
sank to rest murmuring, Nearer, my
God. to Thee
This was his last triumph and his
greatest. His whole life was given to
humanity, but in his death we find his
most priceless legacy. The touching
story of that death bed scene will rest
on generations yet unborn like a sooth-
ing benediction. Such Christian forth
tude and resignation gives us clearer
jconception OF what was In the apostle
