Il
Ohio, and at one time superintendent of
its Sunday-sehool Nothing could be
more reassurfng of his reverent trust in
his God than the last words he uttered
when sinking under the anaesthetic on
the operating table at the Pan-American:
Thy kingdom comel Thy kingdom come,
more touching scene than his final fare
well to the object of his wife's solicitude
when with her hand in his dying clasp he
said: Ida, it is Gods way. Gods will
not ours be DONE and then as sinking
into unconsciousness he was heard family
murmuring:-
en- though it be cross
That raiseth me-
,1 And after a short pause the physi-
words:
Angels to beckon me,
Nearer my God to Thee
And he sank to rise in the Divine
Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord May my last end be like his.
And what Is the cause of all this sor-
row? Why stand the nations of the
earth reverently uncovered, bowed head
and faces sad? One word explains it all
the anarchist. The creed Of the an
archist is the abolition of government,
death to men who have achieved wealth,
the destruction of the Christian Church,
the abolition of the public school, for ali
these the anarchist claims are conducive
to the maintenance of government; the
destruction of the family freside
The marriage relation is but
lover Anarchism would raze all human
ity to one dead level He who by virtue
or by enterprise rises above it must be
DESTROYED. It's exponents are the para
sites of earth, the vipers on the body
polite, and should be extirpated most
vigorously beyond the borders of our
country. International anti-anarchistic
laws should protect all nations from the
deadly venom of these fiends. The hearts
OF all true patriots turn with deepest
sympathy and with earnest .solicitude to
President Theodore Roosevelt and pray
for his protection and guidance in the
arduouS task of completing the adminis-
tration of another. This brilliant young
American, as Police Commissioner of the
metropolitan city of the Western conti-
nent, as Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
as one of the leaders of the Spanish
pire State of the Nation and as Vice
President of the Republic, has made few
mistakes and has proven himself worthy
of our highest confidence With his hand
on the tiller of the ship of State we hope
for safe voyage through the turbulent
waters and over the sea of prosperity"
= The Rev John L. Scudder preached
tlonal Church upon ''The Universal
Suffering Due to the Assassination of
President Mckinley He said, in part
great sorrow. The entire population of
these United States has been plunged
into mourning and is bleeding at the
heart. By the hand of a base anarchist
there has been taken from US one of the
noblest of men and one of the best Presi-
dents this land has ever known-a man
universally esteemed and beloved. That
such a great and genial soul should be
so ruthlessly stricken in the midst of his
usefulness and at the zenith of his well
earned popularity has stunned and hu-
Wen may our flags hang at half-mast
and our churches be draped in black
Well may the name of William McKin-
ley, which stands for integrity, fidelity
and patriotism at home and peace and
brotherhood abroad be upon every lip.
Why, in the providence of God he should
should thus needlesSly suffer is a mys-
terry, unless God has some great lesson
to teach the American Nation. Certainly
this uncalled for murder of a iust and
inoffensiye ruler will teach us the neces-
sity of henceforth rigidly restricting i'm
migration and purifying and purging our
selves at once of this foreign virus of
can and wholly detestahle.
I'VE do not open the doors of our
private homes to every tramp and liber-
admit into our Republic moral degener-
ates who are traitors at heart and de-
spisers OF government. The death of
our President declares in tones of thun-
der that the anarchist must go. There is
altogether too much liberty in America
Men of expressed anarchistic sentiments
should be banished at once or kept per-
petually in durance vile. May it be one
of the prime duties of our incoming Presi-
dent to stamp this accursed spirit of
hatred and murder out of existence

cal Lutheran Church of the Redeemer

full tribute to the characteristics that had

and private life. With other priests and
ministers he declared that had Czolgosz
been taught more religious and civil edu-
cation he would never have perpetrated
the dastardly deed that plunged this na-
ton in mourning. He deplored deeply
