 with bowed heads and sorrowing hearts, O God, our Heavenly Father, VIC meet here in the solemn presence of the dead to pay a tribute of respect to Q strong, brave. an honest, a manly man. His devotion to his friends and family, broad in hia conception: strong in his convictions, a patriot and a statesman;
 He lived well, wrought well and died mourned by nation-more than which no greater tribute can be offered.
 We thank Thee for his life. May hls example be an inspiration to the young men Of our nation and his deeds be a cherished memory to us all.
 Comfort. we beseech Thee as thou alone comforteth. the bereaved wife and family and bring us all, in thine own good time. through Jesus Christ, our Lord, amen"

 Those who knew him best loved him most. And those who knew him little loved him much. knew him very little. and I have felt his power and charm. There are hundred men who are hear ing me, better fitted than I, to describe him or to account for his power think they would all have to recognize the FeJu ntV '.
