pal Church, funeral services were
held for Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
today in Christ Church, which he had
attended while a student at Harvard

and where funeral services for his
wife were held some years ago.
In voice that trembled with the
intensity of his sorrow, Bishop Will
liam Lawrence of the Episcopal do
cese Of Massachusetts, classmate and
lifelong friend of Senator Lodge, read
the prayers.
Except for the presence of repre-
sentatives of Nation, State, the ju-
dietary and other branches of public
life, the funeral observances were
kept as private as was possible in
the case of a distinguished public
man.

ritual of the Episcopal Church would
permit, were held at noon, with
Bishop William Lawrence officiating
at the last rites for his boyhood
