DIR. HALE'S PRAYER.
Let us pray. Father he is with Thee.
He sees as he is seen. He knows as he is
known. But we will wait a little longer.
We need not pray for him. He prays for
us in the glad certainties of a future life.
and we go and come remembering him and
looking forward to the meeting.
Father, may every memory quicken
up a larger life. and every thought of the
future show us how we are to meet the
dear ones who have gone before, how we
are to see as we are seen and to know as
we are known.
w ask Thy blessing upon those so
near to him in the home, where they will
not hear his whisper nor see his face. But
We are all brothers and sisters in the house
of death. We ask 1t each for all and all
for each, that we may bear each others
burdens as we have not done so until now.
that we may be strong in each others
strength, that we may walk, Father, with
Thee, that everybody may hear Thy WhiS-
per and go and come in Thy perfect love.
Grant US more Of faith in Thee, that we
may see Thee who art invisible. that we
may hear Thee in the whispers of Thy
spirit, speaking TO us in our own lives;
that Thou wilt inspire us with Thine own
holy spirit that We may enter into that
service which Is perfect freedom; that we
may do duty every day which Thou doth
command and that nevermore we may feel
alone, but always that we may know our
Father is with US.
Give us more of faith that we may look
forward as immortals do look forward.
that we may live as immortals live, that we
may enter into Thy work indeed, because
Thou hast given It to us to do. that we
may partake. of Thy nature and live in
heaven to-day, tomorrow and in the days
that are TO come; that we may speak with
Thy word; that we may think with Thy
and be glad with Thy joy.
Give US more of hope, and for this,
Father, that we may bear one mothers
sons Of such a life as this; that we may
forget ourselves while we live for others;
that we may go about doing good as he,
Thy well-beloved son, in the homes of the
sick and poor, and the weak. as in the
homes of the rich and the powerful and
the strong; that all being knit together
we may bear each others burdens and so
fulfill the whole law of Christ.
"Reverently, humbly and with the tears
of a Nation, we bear the body and lay in
the ground, earth to earth, dust TO dust,
ashes to ashes. But he is with God ever.
He is changed in a moment, in the twink
ling of an eye. He is in the future life.
Father, we pray that we may learn the
lessons of that life as we go and come
here, that We may go about the work Thou
hast given us to do to-day and tomorrow
TO hear the whisper ocming TO us that We
may enter into the JOY Of our Lord
GRIDIRON QUARTET SINGS.
After the prayer with which Mr.. Hale
closed his sermon the Gridiron quartet, sta
toned in the press gallery, sang Nearer,
my God, to Thee" This was the last trib-
ute of an organization of which Senator
Hanna had become a great favorite and was
a tender and delicate farewell from those
who had known and loved him.
While the religious services were in prog
ress, suppressed sobs were heard in MANY
parts of the chamber. Postmaster General
Payne. who had been for years associated
with Mr.. Hanna on the national mmit
was among those most affected. Secretary
Hitchcock also was visibly touched.
The hymn concluded. President Pro Tenn

its final resting place. May God sanctify
his life and death TO us who loved him

The services, which had occupied about
half an hours time, were closed with a
benediction by DR.. Hale. The visitors and
family then withdrew, the family followed

Senator Lodge, adjourned.
Many persons who had occupied the GAL
leries during the services, left the Capitol
building with apparent reluctance. 1t was
not generally known that the remains were

were dismissed a crush occurred around the
Senate chamber doors by reason of the
large numbers seeking admission to gaze
for the last time on a face known widely
and loved by all. The order to clear the
galleries was given, however, and within
half an hour the chamber and the galleries
had been closed against the public. The
remains were left at rest at the CLOSED
chamber surrounded by the floral offerings
and under a guard of Capitol police.
