church. Dr. Hale delivered the eulogs
as follows:
II think that we who knew him In his
home life feel as If no one else knew
how to prize him, though a whole coun-
try is expressing admiration and tender
love.
There never was a person so simple
SO natural never II person who so en-
tireiy relied upon the realities, truth,
righteousness and peace. He could be
vehement In expression and think that
faith in the American people which ex-
pressed Itself so magniicently once anu
again in his public utterance may be
traced directly TO his faith in a man, to
his certainty that they were the cnii-
dren of God. that they inherit divine
nature and to his certainty In the being
and presence of God. which would ex-
press itself so simply, so unexpectedly
"A thousand people have said to me
that the death blow came on Christmas
eve last year. when she was called away.
This was true: no hour passed but he
was conscious of the weight he was car
rying In trying to live as he lived. But

his life from those he loved, even III
the stress OF public life and the necessity
of even displeasing those who he loved to
please, 1 think we should all say tina,
MS life was happy one. IT was Il
full. Oh. filled full, that no one can
describe that, but always filed full of
something large. unselhsh. thoroughly
generous. something that he expec
others to share with him. something
which would make the world a better
world. We are not here to analyze so
great a character. God grant that the
memories of such a man may make us
unselfish, upright, courageous and true.
We are here to thank thee good God
that such man has lived, to ask him to
keep fresh the memory of such life AMI
TO teach US its lessons
AT the conclusion of the service the
body was conveyed to the city hall,
where 1t will lie in state until p. m.
