the national colors and a crepe-draped
portrait of the late President Mckinley
and purple-draped likeness of the ven

nent places near the altar. The whole
service was an impressive one and Dr..
Wrlghts address, while brief, was well
chosen and found an echo in the hearts
of those assembled
He said in part: "a terrible grief has
come to us. 1t has not come, single hand
ed, but in two-fold sense in the loss of
our beloved president and our equally be-
loved bishop.
Il think I see a parallel in the lives of
these Two great wise men who have been
taken from us. One was a lead
er in affairs of state. The 9TH
er leader in the affairs of the
church: Both were noble lives, devoted
TO The cause that they espoused. Both
lived in terrible times. Mckinley lived
TO see the country expand and reach out
the hand of government to peoples on far
Islands. Whipple lived to- see a great ex-
pansIon of the church in this great
Northwest. Mckinley was blessed with
great insight into the affairs of men. He
was possessed of broad sympathies.
Bishop Whipple displayed this same
sympathy in his dealings with the In
dlans and accomplished things which
even. the wisdom of Washington was un-
able to cope with. In the halls of legis-
lation at Washington his opinions have
been quoted and they carried weight in
shaping the destiny of this great North
west country.
AS terrible as are the circumstances
that have taken our beloved president
from us, they are not without their COM
pensatIen. TheyahaYe been the means of
drawing US nearer to all English speak
ing peoples.
Mckinley was born for a great crisis
and he passed through that crisis. He
was at the head of the government when
blunder or a blunderer would have
plunged the. country into serious compIi-
cations Hills wisdom guided him through
and brought the. country safely out of
the crisis of war and panic Mckinley
VIII go down as the greatest of American
patriots.
I'VE ask each other sand orselyes.
wherein lay his great power? L think
the answer is this. 1t lay in his I'M
faltertng Christianity. He will go down
to posterity as the great American
Christian president
On the tomb that viii be raised over
the grave made at Canton today, may be
written the words, Here lies man who
inspired men to noble service for hu-
mainly and for Cod On the tomb that
will be raised over the precious ashes of
our bishop may be written the words.
Though dead he yet speaketh.' Truly
there was parallel in their great lives.
