Bishop Leonard's Eulogy.
'We are gathered together here today in
this house of God for the last service OF
benediction over the body of our distin-
gushed citizen, kindly neighbor and
our beloved friend. The nation has hon
! ored him with it's civic functions at the
capital of the United States; the common
wealth of Ohio by the hands of her gov
| ernor has received him back into her care
and keeping; the city has stood silently
about his bier, reverencing his memory
and sorrowing at his departure. And now
the holy church would commit his body
to the earth from whence it came and his
soul unto the righteous Savior who re-
deemed it and who loved it with an inf
mite affection.
| 'It is not the time or place for extended
| eulogy and praise; such words will be fifty
| spoken by those well equipped for such
privilege. But there are certain qualities
| and characteristics of this man so highly
| regarded by all classes of people that
! ought aSSuredly to receive recognition in
the midst of his friends and associates at
| this solemn hour. The testimonies that
| have been given from many and varied
| sources blend together in common strain
| and harmony as they speak of his high in
| tegrity, his intieXible and dauntless pur-
pose and his tender, true heart. Their
