Zone brief year ago,
Touched swith grief that needs no
outword draping,
All swelled the long lament
OF grateful hearts, instead Of mar
bic shaping
His viewless monument.
"And now he rests; his greatness
and his sweetness
Nomore shall seem at strife,
And death has moulded into calm
completeness
The statue of his life.
"But round his grave are quietude o
and beauty
And the sweet heaven above;
The fitting symbols of life of duty
Transfgured into love-"
! After quoting the above beauti-
ful lines from Whittier, Mr.. Henry
continued:
=, Zone year ago we reached high
! plane of thought and feeling when
''If for the age to come this hour
Of trial hath vicariOus power,
And. blest be Thee, our present
pain
Be Liberty's gain.
Thy will be done"
