those OF Washington and Lincoln. AS to
his great qualities of mind and heart there
can be but one verdict. We to-day give our
tribute to him as man, and as a statesman.
Men may differ from him as to questions of
policy, but all agree to his ability and in
tegrity He loved his fellow men, and did
his full duty as he saw it.
Edward ThOrndike sang, as a baritone
solo, Hummel's 'Battle Prayer"
W. R. Howard, principal of the High
school, said that, judged by the standard of
usefulness William Mckinley was pre-
eminently successful. We have seen him
rise from the ranks, by well merited pro-
motion rather than by favor His acts
were never prompted by personal ambition.
His ambition was always second to duty.
He was one of the people. He went among
them everywhere. His life of usefulness
does not end with his death. Three times
have our flags been set at half mast in
honor of a martyred President. In Lin
coins time the fires of passion were afiame
with the hatred of civil war Garfield was
the victim of disappointed Office seeker
Mckinley fell when the passions are sober
ed, and peace reigns. His death shows us
that we have great duty, which must be
faced with firmness. Our mourning for our
martyred President is changed to thanks
giving when we think of his life of true de-
vOtion to home, country and duty.
Rev. Ashley A. Smith spoke of the great
loss to the nation, and to the wife and fami-
1xy No ir1o c;,
man. No one Of our Presidents was more
generally beloved by the people. He be-
lieved in all the forces that make for right
living. His end was peaceful and his
prayer, like that of his Saviour, was one
| for forgiveness for his enemies. President
Mckinley represented the forces that make
for good-integrity. faithfulness, loyalty.
He evidenced his faith in his last hour.
Let us not be carried away by feelings OF
revenge, but let us see that full justice be
meted out to his assassin. Those who criti-
cised his policy loved him for what he was
as man. We are told to be like him in his
humanity. To-day our thoughts and
prayers go out to that Ohio town where his
wife mourns one of the best of men.
Rev. G. S. Mills said the character of Nc
kinley was not difficult to understand.
He was. a gentleman in every position to
which he had been called-as citizen, sol
dier, statesman. His sympathies were ten.
der, and were not seen in the mere outward
expression. He walked uprightly. He has
gone beyond our sphere. With him the
home and the church were uppermost
What he was was largely due to his re-
ligious faith. May our lives, under his
high and noble example, be as upright as
his.
The exercises closed with singing Gamer,

out regard to religious or political differ
ences. William Mckinley was born in
Niles, Ohio, and attended the public schools
in Poland, in the same State, working on
the farm and clerking in a store. At the
age of 18 he enlisted in the 23d Ohio regi-
n1ent, commanded by Col, afterwards
General Rosecrans. He was in the same
regiment with ex-President R. B. Hayes
and Judge Stanley Mathews. At the close
of the war he took up the profession of the
law, and at the age of "a was admitted to
the bar. He was in Congress fourteen years,
and was elected Governor of Ohio, which
position he resigned to accept the nomina-
ton to the Presidency. The tariff bill
which bears his name, and his management
which grew out of it showed his ability as
statesman.
John R. Dunton, Esq, spoke in place of
his brother, R. F. Dunton, Esq, who was
unable to participate. His address was i'm
promptu, as he did not know he was to be
called upon until few hours before the
service. He made touching reference to
the funeral at Canton, and added, in part:
1t is not necessary to speak in detail of the
momentous events which have followed in
quick succession during the administration
of President Mckinley. He saw the clouds
of financial distress dispersed, and placed
the country on a firm financial basis; Cuba,
for hundreds of years oppressed by Spanish
tyranny, has been rescued, and Porto Rico
and the Philippines are saved from Spanish
oppression The United States has taken
its place among the nations of the world.
Although his body is to-day returned to the
dust, history will write his name beside
