 Prayer is Offered.
 The Rev Mir, Welles offered the following prayer:
 "Our Father and our God, we turn now to Thee, knowing that Thou alone hast ihs words Of eternal life, and that from Thee can come the stre'oth for our needs. Although we cannot understand the mystery Of Thy will, nor the wisdom Of Thy ways. help ns still io believe In Thy promise that if we being evil know how 10 give good gifts 10 our children, how much more will our Heavenly Father give good things to them that ask Him,
 We thank Thee that Thou art familiar with grief and that when Thou didst not spare Thy only son. Thou didst make Thyself one with all parents everywhere who lose their child. Thou hast gone through our sorrows before us and Thou dost un- derstand. Out of that understanding there comes healing and help for our souls.
 For this choice. clean. upright | young life we thank Thee. We re- | member that Jesus was only young | man when He died, and yet nothing | could be added nor taken away from that life finished on Calvary. We beseech of Thee that the emotions of1 our nation and that the sweep of syDi-J pathy and tenderness that has en- compassed our land, may be so directed through this beautiful young life, that his life work, too. shall have been accomplished by leading a whole people closer to Thee. For his manliness, his quick response to all that was pure and true and good, his eager choice of the better things, we praise Thee. And we pray Thee that he may lead us nearer to the values of life which alone count, and confirm many people in their stand for righteousness and for God. Out ,f his sacrifice may there come high purposes and the re-dedication of hose who were dear to him.
 "Oh, Thou who art the great com- orter, the voice of the people is ifted to Thee asking that Thou wilt ,ring comfort to those parents and his brother that Thou wilt preserve heir strength and give them courage lnder the shadow of these days. ( Nay the sympathy and affection of ' he nation bring some peace to their t minds Touch them with Thy heal ng and love. I
 Take away now our fear of death, ( md show that we bow here before 10 ending but that we are in the t presence of new and lovely begin q ing. Persuade us that there is no a Ieath, that Thou dost call Thy chill I ren to wider life and bigger work. Ee rest assured in the resurrection i f Thy Son and believe that there ( a~ been a great victory and new ' ntry into that better country where t e shall be with Thee and be with | 'hee forever So confirm our faith, { nd our thanks will be to God who | .iveth us the victory through our | ord Jesus Christ, Amen" n
