Taking for his text J.. Pierpont Nor

Will and testament, Rev. DIR. Randolph

at the Church Of the Epiphany He said
that the world did not realize what kind
OF man Mr.. Morgan was until after his

~ religious men who ever lived.
Mr.. Bryce. said the other night at the

whole world said Dr. McKinl. Yes:
he was the chief captain of finance, a
great strategist in the battles of business
He held in his hands the reins OF finan-
cial power as hardly any other man has
ever done. He was wise in counsel. quick
In perception, lightninglike in action-a
man of iron will, of inf1exible nerve. OF
dauntless courage. TIe was, too a patriot
and in more than one great national
crisis he saved the country from disaster
saved it by his unselfish devotion. his
clear judgment. his resolute Will, his mas.
teriy power over other men.

of faith, written only three months be-
fore his death, all his power. all his
wealth, all his honors, are laid aside, and
we see a sinner bowling lowly before his
Maker and his Judge

Rev. Montgomery's Remarks.
1.-THE world is still waiting for men to
die in the doing. 1t is ruled not by the
living, but by the dead, and their coro-
nation awaits the work that we should
do. The question is, are We worthy Of
their association? Under the changed
circumstances Of this present-day are
we as chivalrous in spirit and as brave
in deed as our fathers? Beyond these
questions this occasion has but little
significance.
sometimes men who are brave in war
are towards in peace. Many times to
stand with the crowd is popular. Lowell
put in this way: 1T is easier for men to
steer by dead reckoning than to de-
termine their course by taking their
height by the sun of Righteousness And
again Emerson: Too often. in civic life
Americans lack nerve and dagger
Are we worthy the public spirit of the
sixties? Have we convictions on pub
lie policy for which we are ready to stand
and never falter? Are we for the COM
mon veal and for economic honesty
This vast scale of modern life must have
direction and must be given aim. Thrift.
sobriety and industry form great trim
ity of graces upon our national rosary.
But these will not make secure IL cour-
age, self-sacrifce and devotion to coun-
try are left out. Herein Is the additional
equipment Of the truly patriotic citizen
and the man of God, Again may We
ask, are we altogether worthy Of the
public spirit of men fifty years ago?'
The prayer was offered by Rev. DIR. n.
II. Holmes, department chaplain. Amer
lean flags were draped from the balconies
of the church. Before the pulpit a pic
ture of Gen. Grant was placed. 1t was
draped with the colors, and before it lay
q bouquet OF lilies.

All night dream of cake and cream, roast beef

greens--and daylight finds me starving. dream
OF tea that's not for me- of doughnuts, CLAIMS and

for fellow critters? In days of old the martyrs
bold went bravely to the burning, but they could
eat until the heat wound up their stomachs'

were stretched and strained and riven, but they
had cake and pie to break the agonies thus given.
The doomed galoot endured the boot, but ere
they made him suffer, and broke his legs, some
ham and eggs they gave the wretched duffer.
