abbey sleep the hosts of the mighty.
Kings. warriors, poets, priests and states
men have their places there, and to be
buried among them Is at once the great
est honor that the country can sestow
and the highest reward towards which
tho patriot in peace or in war can strive.
Tho idea Of gathering together the
mortal remains of the great in one grand
tenn ole OF fame is an attractive one, and
it is not to be wondered at that other
nations from time to time have followed
or preceded the example Of Westmins-
ter abbey. Such 4 custom has indeed
found advocates in our own land, and
the suggestion has been made, and is now
repeated, that at the national capital
there should be erected stately edifce.
within which there should be sepultured
those who have deserved we'll OF their
country and whom their fellow Ameri-
cans delight to honor.
Yet good as the Westminster abbey
idea may be. there is ono that 10 better
and much more consistent with our na-
tional character and customs. Our great
men are drawn from no favored class or
section. They are true Sons Of the peo-
pie; to the people our presidents return
after their term of Office with no mark
or title Of distinction above their fellow
Americans, and back to the humble vii
lage or TO the crowded city are carried
the oofflns Of great Americans when their
| life services are ended forever.
Our Westminster abbey is not built Of
granite or marble; it's al ches, domes and
spires are not the work Of human arch
itect. Its proportions are as great as
our national domain; it's foundations are
laid to the depths of the earth; it's altars
are the mountains. and its candles are
the stars. Washington lies at Mount
Vernon, Jefferson at Monticello, Lincoln
at Springfield and Grant in New York
city. Each of these tombs and each OF
thousand others is Mecca Of Ameri-
can patriotism, each an inspiration to
American youth and manhood.
And now we bury another man OF the
people and lay to rest one OF the great
men OF our country and Of the world.
Not in the great cathedral is his proper
place, but in the village cemetery. Side
by side with tho plain people. "whom God
loves because he made so many OF them,"
