Per the past week=ctr ever since Tueti
daY Morning of last week—have the busi
ness places, offices, public buildings, and
)riatiY of the private residences of our vil
lage borne outward evidence. of the grief
that fills the hearts of all our citizens, at
the sad and untimely death of the . Na
tion's loved and honored President,
JAmEs A. Ganiquz.n. Flags--many of
them draped in dead black—have hung at
half mast throughout the whole time ;
wli4 pictures of the martyr President,
heavily draped in mourning, have been
visible on every land. Notwithstanding
active preparations were begun nfi-Satnr
dajt, to properly arrange the Park lfor the
general meeting of citizens there,o)* Mon
day:. afternoon, in . ae.cordatice with the
proclamations issued by 'the - PrOsidont
and the Governor, there were largo; tear
fill and attentive audiences at :111' of our
Churches on Sunday morning. In radii
the services were appropriate to the occa
,sion. The interiors of the buildings were
all more or less decorated with emblems
denoting the general sorrow.
The liaptiet Church.
.
The drapings were very modest yet
skilfully arranged. The pastor chose for
his text the familiar passages of Scrip
ture :• "God so loved the world that
gave His ,only begotten Son IV die for
us," and. " Whom the - Lord loveth rie
chasteneth," 'Those who heard the dis
course pronounce it 'an excellent, one.
The speaker sought to impress upon the:
minds of all the . great Trtith that God
does nothing in anger ' but all things in
Love.. And that this Great Love of the
Father was made manifest some tunes in
sore afflictions, The 'discourse 'U'irs
iiarthy of publication iu its entir4y, but
time and space forbid. In the evening,
Itev..C., 11, With:MT; of the Methodist
Church, fillgd the pulpit, and' gaire the
audience a very interesting addresk on
the character and life of President -GAR
FIELD, taking for the text, "Thou art a
mighty ptinee among us."
The Eplssopa! Church
was quite elaborately draped. On ono of
the desks was an ancluir, on the' other a
syele, and on the font a lyre with broken
string. The parish is witheia a rector
and the chancel wasindenpted. , l%the . lttt r
erend Mr. Monnow, er Reading. Ms'
text was from the 94th Psalm, I'2th verse,
" Blessed is the man Whotri thou chasten

law." Theme, the severity of:, dd'.l4 lore,

.
At the
,Methouist Church ffte rindito
.rium was draped in mourning. The put,
pit waScovered by deep black chief], and
held bouquets of exquisite whale dowers.
In:front of the deep recess ON.er the pul.
pit heavy black cloth. .was ;Irtistically
looped in festoons to the floor, partially.
hiding our . countrY's -flag beOniingly ar
ranged in the background. 1 life-size

J.UTES A. GAIWIELI), was Maced in front,
framed in craN,.with the wortisiin large
letters above, "Our 11:Catiees' Loss."
Sablq coverings enclosed eaelt_ehandelier.
A feeling of F. olerunity pervaded the at
mosphere while the large audiOce lis_ten
,ed with tearful attefition'to the ',eloquent
and pathetic discotirse from a heart over
flowing with sympathy for the beloved
deceased. The text taken• by the pastor;
the Rev. C: 11. WIZIGIIT; was :' "For we
litiow that all things work together for
good to them that love God." In a pecu
liarly :impressive manner he :put forth
reasons why eve 9, this sad eVent . might
possibly, bring its advantages. So forcible
and lilting a discourse should be printed
in full to be appreciated, and we will .not;
mar. its beauty giving any extracts.
Appropriate national hymns Were selected

portrait of the 'lamented President was
placed in the cetitre of the drapery. The
•rallery was tastefully decorated. The,
Emogiugs and adornments of the
werp,exceedingly impressive.. The heavy
drapery was neatly festooned across the
upper casement of the pulpit ;1.! the cur
tains were then drawn apart at the centie
and withered at!each'side; To thefestoon
overhead, at the p6int, where the Curtains
were drawn
,apart; the national' colors
were fastene and gracefully looped to
each curtain. Ou the right of the pulpit,
upon a richly . draped pedestal, encircled
with ivy, was a beantiful mound of white
dowers. From the centre of this mound - '
arose a shield which upheld a grot nd.
work of white 116vers, surrounded. by
English ivy, in which there was a Very
boa ntiful•anchor made of immortelles.
Perched upon the shield was a clove,. just
in the act of flying toward heaven, and
bearing in its bill an olive branch. The
pulpit fitrniture was dtaped, and upon
the saered.,clesk stood a pyramid of . how-.

his text II tiam., : "Know ye not
that there is a prince and a great man
fallen thi , : day in Israel I"' The diseowse
set forth the elements of Mr. - Gm:Fah - Vs
eharacter‘and the less Ons ,to .be learned
front his life. In prefintitim his discourse
the qpeaker said that inlile-ticanslf-tleatli
the feelings of sympathy were
,instantly
iron-ed, and that all haqeds and animos‘
sties. were lost in "half-forgetfulne;ss."
At such a time the actions of the departed
are vividly recalled and indiscriminately
extolled. -- While it is tuft necessary to
disclose the faults of tlaiidead, yet no fin
truth should bo indulged in. Happily,
to-day we come with both ,true and hind
words. The speaker then pointed out
the eletnents,eharacteristic of this great
man. It is new universally conceded that
he wa a.greatman intellectually.- Among
his public contemporaries. none rose
above him ; only a few can be mentioned
in comparison. with him. The speaker
was'ready to tie farther and say ilia he
was the-greatest man - among, them all.
He was endowed witha rare combination
of intellectual powers. - He was shot a ge
nius ; there was nothing exceptional; spas
tnodic, meteoric in the quality of his
mind ; it was rather profound, compre
hensive and strong. - His acquisitive-poi
ers. welt excellent; his 'memory tena
cious ; his imagination vivid ; his judg
ment. clear and sound ;'his heart tender
as a woman's; of language a Mu
eta ; hitiolinattion dignified and eloquent.
It is no wonder that be became a main of
largo and rich eulture ; the finest scholar
of all onr public ; men, taking up and
Wearing in our public halls the fallen

Li
After .'atf'inti• - luctory in. which was
depicted the co Rion -of • universal sot*
row overhanging all sections of the nation,:
and after a brief review of the life of the
President, with some of the leading char=
acteristics of_ the man and a touching
reference to- hisChristly patience in suf
fering, and his unwavering faith, the
speaker, proceeded to craw seine lesSons
for consideration ..by which- the blessings
Nv 11 ich; under God's rule, are proceeding
from this gilicat calamity may be perceiv
ed and appliPd. . .
• 1. As a Nation, he showed that Cod
_
is at work. in his .purposes, showing us
the condition of motive .that Underlies .
party movements, and the. need of a
' -higher deVotion to Anciple and less-to
partizanship ; wheth6r it is to be purse
or principle, greed or greatness ; the eter
nal right f or the selfish wronf , that is to
control the.sclection of our rulers. . •
2. It is a lesson for the Nation of the
highest-spiritual significance ; it has Mug
tratcd to•us as a Nation from its. central
.pojet and head, at a time wile!' all eye
were concentrated thereupon'; the power,
the glory, the beauty_ and--the sustaining
conflict of the Christian faith. It has
quickened 'the moral sentiment of the
Nation ;. made -it more earnest for truth ;
brought the Nation into closer communion
I with God :. it has led -a whole Nation in,
daily and hourly prayer for three coutin-.
ous months, and we arc a More thought
ful and religious Nation theieby.
fl. It hits led to closer • nuitY in our
Nation than ever before. The went
heart of'the South never pulsated in such
-harmony with • the I great - heart of the
North as during thiktrial. The tender,
generous sympathy of iiiir brethren of the
South, has lifted :i veil of prejudice which
has long hidden their hearts from our
view', and ive rejoice in the community
of sentiment thus revealed. "Oneness of
sentiment - means union of heart . and
thought, and union of hearts means the
unity of the Nation." "So by reason of
this trial we are a clOser knit Nation than
ever beforeinnur history." :The speaker
quoted from the deceased President some
words delivered On another - occasion
which were exceedingly apprapo., on this
\h . ead:
Referring- to, the lessons for the' young
men of this country coming out of this
trial. the speaker said, "Gen. GAntlimo,
11Le person, has passed from bur,view,, but
shining more gloriously than ever,throrigh
the sacred Christening of bloou, and of as
much use to his ,couritry in force of ex-
ample ,and teaching, stands the Garfield 1 1
character, a blaze of truth on the altar of 1
'freedom and •of country to guide her ;
young in paths of patriotism, purity'and
peace."' . . .

Scriptural Readings.
By request, tbe same passages of Scrip-
ture were read by thei Rev. C. H.
Witiont, as were read by-Dr. RANKIN,
at the services in Washington, on Friday,
and were ns follows :--
The Lind - reigneth. The floods have
lifted *their voice. - The „Lord high
is Mightier than the voice of many waters.
Clouds and •darkness are round about
Him -; righthonsness and judgment are
the habitation - of His throne. By Min
kings reign and princes decree justice.
Ho changed' the time and the seasons.
HO reinoveth kings Ithd setteth up kings.
For there is no power hut, of God. The
powers that 'be- are ordained of God.
•Whesover, therefore,'resisteth the poWer
resisthth the ordinance of God, and they
that resist shall recaivo to themselves
damnatioti, • Cease ye front man, whose
breath is in his nostrils;:for wherein is ho
to 'be accounted 'of? For behold, the.
Lord, the Lord of hosts; doth take away
from JerusaleM and . from Judah the
f.mighty man, the man Of war, the honora-;
tie man, and the'cohnseler, and the eh,
iptent orator. There is no man that bath ,
power 'over the Spirit to retain the Spirit.;
neither bath he power in the day of death;
and there is no discharge in that war.
Then shall he be at rest with kings and
counselors of the earth; which= builtdeso
hate,Tlaces•for themselves. The clods of
:the valley shall be sweet upon him,
and
every man shall draw after him as there
, are innumerable before Lisa. There the
•wieked cease from- troubling, and there.
the weary he at rest. Then answered
Jesus unto them : 4 ‘ Verily, verily, I say
unto you,, he that heareth my word and
believed' On Him that sent me bath- ever
lasting life; and Shall not come into con
demnation, but bath passed from death
unto life: !Unto him thatOvercometh will
I grant to with me On my Throne ;
even as - I also overcome and sit down with
my Father on Ilia T!iroue. Blessed are
they that do His .commaiiments, that,
they have rieht to the Tree of Life, and"
and may enter in through the gates into'
the City, and they shall see.llis face and !
l' His name shall be in their foreheadS.".
And He went ,fa little further-and fell on
His face and prayed,:saying, "0 my Fa
ther ! if it be , possible let thiacup pass
from me. Neveetheless, not ha,l will but
I as Thou wilt." It became Him for whom
arerall thing's and by whom are all things
in bringing many tioula.to glory, to make
the Captain of their salvation perfect
through suffering.' The disciple is' not
above • his ;Master nor the servant ahoy':
hiS Lord.' It is enough for. the disciple
that he be as his Master and the servant
as his Lord. "Let rot your hearts be
troubled • ye believe - in`God, helieve also
in me.. I will not leave you comfortless ;
I will Comilito•you. Leave thy fatherless
'cliiloren;. I will preserve- them alive. And
let thy widtive trust in me." And it came
to pass when they- came to Bethlehem
that all the city was moved about ,t-hem,
and they said, - Is this Naomi 2 anti she
Said unto them, "Call me notaomi.'
Call me Mara ; for the - Lord hath dealt
very bitterly with me. I went out full
and the
,Lord bath -brought-.me home
again :empty." "For a small moment
have I forsaken thee: but with great mer
cies will I gather thee. I hid My face
from thee for a moment ; hut with ever
lasting kindness will I .have -mercy on
dice," saith the Lore, the Redeemer.
And Jacob died and was gathered unto
his people, and Josenli went up to bury
:his father, and therer went up with. him
both chariots and horsemen, and it was
a very. great company. And when, the
inhabitants of the lands saw the mourn
ing they said ; This is a grievous.-warning
to thee: And they did unto - him according
as he had commanded them— For they
carried him into the land Of Canaan and
buried him in the cave of the field of
.MaeplAah, which Abraham bought for a
possession as a burying place. And I
heard a voice from heaven sayitig unto
me, " Write, blessed.are the dead which
die in the . Lord from henceforth ; yea,
saidi the Spirit, that they may rest froth
their labors and their works do folio*
them. I would not have you . to be ignor
ant•coneerninewhieh are asleep, that -ye
sorrow not even as others which have no
hope. -For if we believe that Jesus died
and rose again; even so them also that
sleep in Jesus will God. bring with Him.
Wherefore, comfort one another with :
these words: " Faithfutis he that ealleth.'
you, who also will do it. The - Lord gave,:
the Lord bath taken away. Blessed be
the name of the Lord."
Prayer Rev. C. T. Hallowell.
Oar Heavenly Father and. our fathers'
God, we look to Thee on this occasion,
gathered . together as we are in the midst
of :nor sorrow. Long weeks we lay at
Thy feet night and day beseeching Thee
to let thiS cup pass.from us, and yet we
endeavored to. say, "not our will but
Thine be done." .Thy will has been done.
Then diist not send the assassin. Thou
couldst have hindered him, but did not.
It has been hard for us to bear. We pray.
Thee' to give us-submissive grace, and. as:
we pasS under . the rod may we come out
pfirdied. May the lessons We should learn
froth this great trouble be made plain to
us as a people, and, may we be able to
profit by our knpwledge. Our sins have
made this necessary. They were driving
us on to destriaction. Thy love would
save us. Oliqmay it be able, and we be
delivered from?these great evils which
demanded thiSqacritice. We ask of Thee
Thy blessing upon him who has taken
the place of the fallen one. Ile has' a
hard place. Every. word, every act will
be watched and-weighed. Enable him to
profit by the life and death of his prole
cessott Help him to he the President of
the whole people, not of ja faction or par
ty but•of all, and when his administration
is ended may the nation be able to look
upon it and thank God. We believe, that
`Thou dust reign, and our desire lsao have
Thee reign over us. Leave us not nor
forsake us, we pray Thee ; lift us up and
make plain the path before our feet.
And now, Father, iwe would remember
-that company gat bored to lay away the
'dead body of our President. , We have no
coffin with as, - en dead form, and .yet
both the coffin and the 'dead he very close
to our hearts. We are exceeding sad,.
yea, our sorrow is inexpressible ; but if
outs be such, what mu! t theirs be- to
whom the was personally so much? How
infinitely beyond utterance is the pain of
thal, old mother, that dear wife and those
fathe:-less Our words and our
hands eannoinreach thent, but Thou caust,
and we.priP-Thee to put Thine everlast
ing' ms round and 'about them, pillow
their heads on thy bosom, and give them
strength to loOk up and say; Though
lie- lay me, yet will I trust in him." Do
Thou so order their lives before Thee
that when their work is done each of theM
tatay enter into that rest to Which- their
dead has now gone. We 'ask Thee to help
them to, feel that he is not in the grave,
he has gone to the •God who gave him.
And now do Thou bles.s. us all ; comfort
and sustain us, make us better citizens
and better men. We ask in the name of
Jesus'Christ our Lord.- - Amen. •

I was told, Mr.. President, Ladies and
Gentlemen,l was expected to say a few
siords.on this occasion because I was per
sonally acquainted With the man Whose
death has filled this land. with . breathless
darkness and saddened thehearts of fifty
millions of people. -The death, at any
the ordinary course of nature of
the Chief Magistrate of the nation would
be • a 'catmints', were there nothing In his
character to distinguish hint from thou- 1
sands of his fellow citizens. But; When.;
One Who appeared to have been raised up
by Providence *for • a particular work,
which he of all men was best fitted . to
perform and upon the successful comple
tion et' which seemed to depend the, pros
perity and welfare of, our common country,
is slain by the assassin's bullet—the death
of such a man ill the full vigor of life, who
'as the Executive of the nation has just
entered upon so important a work, sends
a thrill of , - sorrow to every h art 'andhor-.
rifles all mankind. A min possessing a
giant intellect,' rare -knowledge,: great
'strength of purpose and an- invincible
will, united to an eminently judicial mind
and a' heart so large that. none knew him
but to love him, had been,chosimn by the
suffrages of the people to administer - the
government - amid had just fairly entered
upon his work With universal - approval-s r
one 'of whom I believe the verdict of time •
will be that .he was the greatest - man
America has produced. Was it strange
that high expectations were formed, which
have been suddenly dashed? Pledged to
a system which Would , " meet the danger
of illiteracy' by the. saving influence of
universal education ;" which would drive
from our land the survivor•of the twin
relics of barbarisin ; which would protect
the humblest citizen in ail his-rights and
-bring abitmut - a spirit of reconciliation and
fraternity, ho had canoed upon his ad
ministratbire Ye was well prepared
,to
do this work. He had spent eighteen
active years • irk the halls of • our national
legislature ; was known by all the leading
men of out country. -His ability, his in-
tegrity, his inflexible justice were all con
ceded. Those opposed to him - politically
had seentim stand asit bulWark between
the surging forces-on the floor of : Congress
and hold in check both parties. Such a
man was President of these United States.
He possessed genius with none. of the
weaknesses which so•often •acceinfiany it,
No particular faculty had been developed
at the expense of others: He was great
in many things and had at the • same time
good common sense. Ho. retained the
confidence of the people in all parts of our
land, and had he lived the close. of his
olficiai terra Would have seen the end of
sectional' arties wjel the beginning of an
era of peace and good fellowship. His
voice, "to the North, give up !And to, the
South, keep not back I" wonld'have been
.heeded: He would have felted a cominon
ground open which.the citizen of Massa
chusetts and the citizen of South Carolina,
upon which the late slave-holder and the
freedman "could have planted themselves
with all their rights secured: And now
all this work_ so auspiciously begun has .
stopped, and despondency and gloom fills
our taw!.
Butr is there - nothing but darkneS s
before us? Is there no rift -in the
clouds that hang over us? Is the great
work stopped or 'only temporarily. sus
pended ?•• Because the hand that was
leading us has beeri paralyzed by death,
.shall we go back or even standstill ? He
has pointed 'out the way tem us ; let us
walk in it. Nor is his work all incomplete.
To-day we enjoy the full measure of
financial prosperity through his exertions.
Ile breasted for us the storm of financial
fanaticism which. at one time came near
sweeping our land. To him aro we in
debted more than to any other•that our
little army has been preserved, that our
national integrity has been maintidned,
and that sve,are respected by all: the ha
ti-ins-of the earth. Yes, let each one of
us to-day, thank Cod that J.VNIES Annan
0 - Anne - Lim has i'Ned. We have his example
to emulate; time great work he begun to
complete. Make your' power felt and
there will be but a brief interruption in
the work. Nis arc the sovereigns, and as
we will so must the Executive do. The
man who undertakes to execute 'this
;government against the will of the people,
no matter how exalted he-may be or what
position lie may occupy, Will be ground
to powder beneath the upper and the
nether millstone..
He. was followed by J. Holcomb, of the
I:epu ilieqn, with the following
The Nation, overwhelmed with grief,
to-day, and at this hour, is bowed with
uncovered head in' linmiliation and
mourning for, the death of its beloved
President. The whole civilized. world is
engaged in demonstrations of 'sympathy
with us in our tribulations. Though our
country by the hand of wickedness and
violence is"roblied of the, personal service
of our great Chief Magistrate, it can nev
er be-robbed of the teachings of his ever
living examples. .These have sunk deep
in the hearts of an admiring people and
leave their indelible impression for good
upon the age: Though the pulsations of
his heart have ceased to beat, though his
mortal remains are unsigned to their
resting place itt the tenib and his spirit
has taken its'llight.to the realnis of the•
Infinite, like the reverberating pulsations
of wind, we catch the grand inspirations
of his life histOry and. seem • to hear his
potent voice 'directing us its the paths of
righteousness,justice, wisdom and truth.
-Hiri eminent examples may Well be cher
ished and emulated by all, and especially
by the youth of efur_laud.
His greatness wak illustrated, not mare
in the remarkable ability oisplayed in his
public acts than in his manly private vir
uses,- All along the pathway of Ins ca
reer, the grander lights of Christianity
and the observauce of all time higher sli
ced and fraternal obligations of life were
shown through the murky 'clouds of po
litical excitement and the .pressing duties
of his public position. When on ''the
casion of his inauguration as Presideut on.
the Fourth of March last, after having
taken the oath prescribed by the Consti
tution which clothed ken with Executive
power, he turned from the applauding
thousands to imprint a kiss, test trixin
the trembling lips of his grand old moth
er and then upon those of his noble and
loving wife, this sincere exhibition of true
affection, bespoke the sublime • character
of the man and left its favorable impress
upon the, minds of an hundred thousand
witnesses. The little glimpses ,of his
home life, ideal in it's harmony and per
fection, and the purity and honesty of his
purpn:es exhibited in MS official. life,
showed that he was neither a hypocrite in
religion -nor a demagogue in politics.
The elevation of mankind, the good of
his coteltry and the conscientious dis
charge of his obligations to his Cod, were
the governing principles of his life. These
characteristics were emanations •of .the
higher and nobler 'tributes,' almost divine,
and have, through•lmini blessed% the coun
try with their benign influences. As. long
-as American history shall be written the
name* of James A. Garfield -will be re
membered, with the wartneet "emotions of
gratitude, and his noble deeds will be
treasured iu the hearts of a patriotic peo
ple. Ile has inspired all hearts with love
amid reverence: °His manly and courage
ous bearing through eleven weeks of se
verest pain and bodily suffering iu tho
face of death, has drawn to him .the ten
derest sympathy - of a loving people, and
they, Qpfi and all, mourn his death as that
of a near and dear friend. In • this spirit
may his nieniory be cherished by all; and
may all no guided-hy the light of his ex

'and obligations of life,
convey to the.undenstanding a glimpse of
the life of- thenoblestspecimen of Amer

Colonel Elhanan Smith followed, and

Mn. PREIiIDENT, LAME* AND GENTLE..
MEN :—Eveii in the death of the Presi
dent and tinder the dark clouds of Mourn
ing and sorrow, .beneath their silver lin
ings,. there remains the grandest and co.
blest government God ever bestowed
upon a nation. Even the illustrious liead
himself whom the , nation mourns to-day,
becomes a'fitting emblem of the simplici
ty rind intelligence of that form of gov
eminent cone,eivtrd bq our Pilgrim Fath
ers, born amid' the hardships of the 'Amer
ican revolution, and nursed in the cradle
of that liverty and equality, which to-day'
is upheld by fifty millions of people. To
the genius of our institutions- the nation's
dead owed his - greatness and his honors.
They looked in upon the_humble home of
a widow, obscure and. penniless ; Invited
her orphaned son to look upward and on-
Ward ; and for .half a century set their
:beacon lights along the pathway of this
youth of destiny, and illuminated the pro
gress of bis career from the doniestic ca
reer from the domestic fire-side to the
highest,worldly honors beneath the cano
py of heaven. James A. Garfield had
reached the temple of fame ; his measure
was full. His country and her institu
tions had no higher honors to bestow,
than it fell to his lot to enjoy. iln the
words of unerring history, Air hint to die
was gain. The past is secure ;it 'will be
only chronicled by the pen of the 'histori
an :
. ' .".There is a divinity-which shapes our ends,
Ito tgli he* them as ve may.
And in the violent and tragic death .of
the . President the world is taught a sub
limo lesson.; Monarchists who predicted,
from the firing of the;patriot guns on Bos
ton' Common to .the crushing out of the
• late rebellion, that the days of this Re,
public were numbered—may now behold,
and must acknowledge bow firm the ba*
• Isis of that government must be, which
rests upon the will of a free 'and indepen
dent people,,
Twice within the sixth of a century has
the Chief Magistrate of the United S:.ates,
while clothed with the- power of the na,
tion, been stricken down by the hand (d•
,the assassin •, and, yet; in the language of
our lamented President whose- untimely
death we are met to mourn this day—
i" God rules, and the goverment at Wash- •
in"ton still' lives !"
. 'The . future demands our earnest and se
rious attention : "the government still
lives ;" and I humbly trust it may still
live When the angels yoke shall proclaim
" that time shall be no morn." Let us on
this soleMn Occasion turn our attention"
from the departed .head of the nation to
the , new• incumbent of the Presidential
chair, who, assuming the responsibility
that has been cast upon. him, now rules
by the people's will: If the, nation's pray
ers may ho invoked to save and 'restore 4
dying President, why not unite—them'
now, and with ono accord, that wisdom
may be imparted to him who now holds •
the helm of State, and that his hands
may bd strengthened ?' He is now tile i
head and heart the people will hold re
sponsible for the administration of the of
fice
of Chief Magistrate, itidepeedent of
all factions and theories not grounded on.
the Constitution he has sworn to support.
Men are born to die ; Presidents niaY
be, as they have been, assassinated, and
the land be filled with mourning and sor
row ; but this forin of government of ours
—the purest and best designed amongst
the nations of the earth, may live forever;
;and through ages yet unborn the mne,-
Jof Lincoln and Garfield, our' martyred
Presidents, will be banded doivii. The
shock of such events as .the tragic death.
of these great men would shake an ern
pire and overturn the throne of Kings ;
but in a Republic like our own such sac
rifices make stronger the bonds of union,
riuell dissentions and - in sympathy 'unite
the hearts of the 'people. Such sacrifices
are great; but the result leaves upon the
altar evidence that thd assassin cannot de
stroy the nation's life. As "the blood of
the martyrs Is the seed of the church," so .
the sacrifice of such men as Abraham
. Lincoln and James A. Garfield may be
come a lasting seal for our beloved Union.

time of the speakers was necessarily short,
each presented • his subject In a manner
which caused us to realize more than ever
before what we- have lost in James A.
Garfield. „ -
May the rhany lessons we have learned
from the example and precept of him
whom God in • his wisdom has removed
from us, ever incite us to nobler lives And.
loftier aspirations. The chairman of the

following, which were adopted :
Resolved, Ist. That in the death of
James A. Garfield, the Chief Executive of
the V. S., the country mourns' the loss of
one of her most efficient and honored Pres

destroyed the valuable life of a most loyal
citizen, skilled educ. , .tor, valiant soldier,
an illustrious statesman and a wise admin
istrator; and-also that be possessed extra
ordinary physical, moral and mental en
dowments, which by his indomitable per
severance and energy were cultivated and
developed, making him, under God, a
blessing and an honor to the American
Nation, and the admiration of the civilized

and sublime fortitude amidst poverty dur
ing 'his ehildhood, and whose directive

early manhood, measurably contributed
toward his unparalleled success in life.
4th. That me record our profound gym.:
pathy with his devoted and highly culti

him, and mutually shared his responsibil
ities in every sphere of duty, and whose
patient endurance, solicitude and - sustain;
ed mental reserve:in the presence of an
awful calamity, so largely contributed to
inspire him with hope and consolation
dining his prolonged affliction, and also
With his fatherless children, whom we
commend to paternal care and keeping of
that , God . whom their father' devoutly
worshipped. •
