MS COAT OF ARMS A SHOE LAST


Dnigent In business. fervent in spirit serving the
Lord, he was man who maintained MS INTEGRITY
against violent temptations The tides OF political lie
all set toward dissipation. The Congressional burying
ground Washington holds the bones Of great many
Congressional drunkards believe that three-ourths
Of our politicians die Of deiiriam tremes or the con
gesons and rrtations and the exhaustons that come
Of strong drink At the banquet Mr. Wilson never par
took Of wine liquor and hc never drank the heath
Of the people IN anything that hurt his own


This man whose death depore stood unscarred
amid the temptations 70 political corruption; dc ded
comparatively . poor man when he might have filled
his pockets and those OF all his friends II he had

steered clear OF the lobby that maestrom which has
swallowed 80 many strong political crafts The bribery
railroad schemes that half OF our public men
always left him the right side OF the track with
opportunities to have made millions OF dollars by the
surrender OF good principles he never made cent in
that way II there ever was man after death fitted
to lie on Abraham Lincoln's catafalque and
the marble representation OF Alexander
Hamilton and under the statue OF Freedom,
with sheathed sword in her hand and wreath
of stars her brow and TO be carried ont amid the
acclamation and condemnation of grateful people,
that one Henry Wilson. (Applause.) Ho was ht

If he had lived little longer don't know but that we
might have put him in the first Applause He was
an humble and modest Christian. BY profession he
a Congregatonalst but years ago he stood up IN
Methodist meeting house and told how he had found
the Lord, recommending all people TO accept Christ
their personal Saviour. He hated shams bless
God that we have had many good Christians in the
first and second chariots-Washington, John Quincy
Adams, William Henry Harrison, James X. Polk and
Henry Clay mistake in regard to that last name he
only ought to have been President IL has seldom been
appropriate for all the church bells to chime and the
