Norwalk Methodist Church was
crowded Yesterday Afternoon.

[Utilillis Turnout

Factors of the Norwalk Church Speak
of the Exemplary Life of the
Late President William
McKinley.

 

 

The Norwalk Methodist Church was
crowded to its doors and a large num
ber of people were obliged to stand
yesterday afternoon, at the memorial
service held there to the memory of
our late and illustrious President Wil-
liam McKinley. The church was dress
ed in mourning for the dead chief ex-
ecutive and presented a very solemn
appearance. In front of the pipes of
the big church organ was stretched in
stately folds a large American flag.
draped in black and in the center was
a good sized picture of Mr. McKinley,
with a black border. relieved at inter
vals with small kots of white. The
stand which supports the big church
Bible was also dressed in mourning
garb. At each front corner was hung
a wreath. Beside the regular speakers
of the day there'wore on the platform
other clergyman.

The services were opened by the
choir of the'churcb singing the all-
them, "in Heavenly Love Abiding." by
Holden. Then fotlowed the responsive
reading, led by the Rev. Charles T.
Coerr. of New York. During the pray-
er by the Rev. H. B. Munson. which
followed the responsive reading, many
ill the big congregation wept when ref-
erence was made to the martyred pres
ident and his afflicted wife. This two
favorite hymns of President McKinley
were sung. Lead, Kindly Light. after
Mr. Manson’s prayer and Nearer. My
God. to Thee. after the address by the
Rev. C. D. Egbert, of the Congrega-
tional Church. After the singing of
the first named hymn the Rev. J. Mc
Cluro Bellows took the pulpit and in a
clear and resonant voice delivered his
address on the departed president.
part Mr. Bellows said:

We are gathered here together In

gardless of creed or politics. to pay

it is the hour of a nation' s sorrow.
The nation tastes of sorrow as well as
does the family and the individual.
and our religion recognized this. it
recognizes nothing of party in public
icy or grief. Government is ordained
of God and the Officer of state is what
Holy Scripture declares hlnl to be.
God's minister. Hence the church
prays unceaslngly for his health and
wealth.

But now. we repeat. is the hour of
the nation’s sadness. The evening bell
has called its elected Chieftain home.
He was worn, but not with age. He
was fast wearing out and ills strength
giving out because of sudden and
shocking suffering. The assassln's bul.
let has again laid low a president of
the United States.

For one week our eminent head lin-
gered on the border line; for one week
he warred with the death angel: for
one short week the surgeons' bulletin
inspired hope. but now the cruelly di-
rected shot has taken deadly effect and
our invaluable executive and excellent
exemplar and beloved chief Is the vic-

the hearts of a mlgllt republic, are

BIIIIY IN EA§I_R_E§IINII PLACE

A Hundred Thousand People, Repre-
senting Every State In the Union,
Gathered in the Town of
Canton, Yesterday.

CANTON. Ohio. September 20—-
With majestic solemnlty, surrounded
by his countrymen and his townpeople,
ill the presence of the President of the
United States. the Cuginot, Justices of
the Supreme Court. Senators and Rep-
resentatives ill Congress, the beads of
the military and naval establishment.
governors of States and a great con-
course of people who had known and
loved him. all that is mortal of the
dead President to fall by an assasln's
bullet was yesterday committed to the
grave. it was a spectacle of nlournful
grandeur. From every city and bam-
iet Ill Ohio, from the remote corners of
the south and from the east and west.
the human tide flowed into the town
until 100 000 people were within its
gates here to pay their last tribute to
the fallen chief.

The final scenes at the First Metho
dist Church, where the funeral service
was held, and at the beautiful West-
lawn cemetery. where the body was
consigned to a vault, were simple and
impressive,

The service at the church consisted
of a brief oration, prayers by the min-
Isters of three denominations and sing
log by a quartette. The body was then
taken to Westlawn cemetery. and
placed in a receiving vault. pending
the time when it will be finally laid
to rest beside the children who were
buried years ago.

The funeral procession was very im-
posing and included not only repre-
sentatives of the army and navy ser-
vice of the United States. but the ell-
tire military strength of tile States of
Ohio. and hundreds of civic, fraternal
and other organization it was two
miles long.

One of the most pathetic features of
the day was the absence of Mrs. Mc-
Kinley from the funeral services at
the church and from the cemetery.
Since the first shock of the shooting.
then of death and through the ordeal
of state ceremonies, she had borne up
bravely. But morning found her too
weak to pass through the trials of the
final ceremonies. Through the open
door of her room she heard the pruyel
of the minister as the body was borne
out of the house. After that Dr. Rixey
remainedclose by'ber side. and al-
though the fllll force of the calamity
had come upon her; it was believed by
tbotlc about her that there was a pro-
vldentlal mercy ill her tears. as they
gave some relief to the anguish of the
heart withill.

At seven o'clock last night President
Roosevelt and the members of the Cub-
inet started back to Washington.

PRESIDENT’S FUNERAL SERMON.

 

 

 

 

 

Tribute by the Rev. C. E. Manchester
to the Murdered President.

CANTON. Ohio. September 20—Thc
Rev. C. E. Manchester's sermon at the

funeral of President McKinley yester
day afternoon. was as follows:

Our President is dead. The silver
cord is loosed, the golden bowl Is brok-
en, the pitcher in broken at the foun
tain. the wheel broken at the cistern.
The mourners go about the streets.

One voice is beanie—a wail of sorrow
from all the land; for “the beauty of
Israel is slain upon thy high places.
How are the mighty fallen. i am dis-
tressed for thee. my brother. Very
pleasant hast thou been unto me.”

Our President ls'dead: We can hard
ly belleVe It. We had hoped and pray
ed, and It seemed that our hopes were
to be realised and our prayers anwer-
ed. when the emotion of joy was
changed to one of grave apprehension.
Still we waited, for we said, “it may
be that God will be gracious and mercl
ful to us.” It seemed to us that it
must be His will to spare the life of
one so well beloved and so much need-
ed. Thus. alternating between hope
and fear. the weary hours passed on.
Then came tidings of defeated science
and of the failure of love and prayer
to hold its object to the earth. We
seemed to hear the faintly murmured
words. "Goodbye Isll. good-bye. it is
God's way. His will be done," and
than. "Nearer, My God to Thee." So
nestling nearer to his- God he passed.
out into unconolouness, skirted the
cork shores of the sea of death for s
time. and then passed on to be at rest.
His great heart had ceased to best.

Our hearts are hoary with sorrow.
