grief at his passing, and through the

and abiding faith in the future of our
country. his calm and dispassionate
manner of solving weighty affairs of
state. his constant and untiring efforts
to lead the people of our country
and the nations of the world along
the pathway of peace and fellowship,
his devotion to his life companion
with whom he shared his joys and
his sorrows, and who so beautifully
and sympathetically ministered to
him until his spirit had taken fight
and his tired body had found resO-
all these things have implanted in
the heart of memory a degree of re-
spect and admiration among his fell
low citizens rarely recorded in the
