A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
CLKVF.LAND , 0. , Soptcmbor 20.
Tlio morning of this sad day , Ilia dixy
on which tlio remains of the dead
preside lit are to bo assigned to the
tomb , looks calm and beautiful. Tlio
wind , which had blown almost con
stantly since Saturday morning , had
fallen to a gentle breeze. Tlio great
lake , beside which rests the town , lay
placid nnd beautiful. The clouds ,
which nil of yesterday gathered in
threatening aspect at various quarters
of the heavens , had disappeared , nnd
' .all nature seemed smilingly uncou-
f scions 'of
THK OKKAT SOKKOW
which rested upon tlio heart of the
people , of the pain nnd agony which
the noonday was to bring to earnest
citizens nnd loving friends. The people
ple were astir early. Indeed , it can
. scarcely be said that the city slept.
All night there wore comers and goers
at the great pavillion where rested
the remains of the president. The
people scorned to be watching with
their dead.
AT MIUNIOHT.
The stream of humanity which has
been flowing through the Park nil day
had scarcely begun to break. At
o'clock it was still flowing thougl ;
some what haltingly. By 2 o'clock tit
men came only , in fewer numbers , ii
squads of two or throe , speaking in
low tones , with solemn faces and
tread and still
BEVKKENTLY UNCOVERING THEIR HEAD ;
as had done the 150,000 who ha
preceded them during the day. Tliej
struggled in small squads until th
early day , when the number * began t
increase again. By the time the BUI
had risen to take its last look at the
remains of the great man whom tin
world to-day honors and mourns , tin
, - -people vrtru coming in largo numbers
and the line which dissolved at 1
o'clock formed itself again and
began to flow with regular
ity through. By 3 o'oclock poppl
were pressing in all directions , anxious
to embrace the opportunity to do
honor to the dead. They were throwr
into a column eight abreast , and its
flow for the next hour was steady nnd
rapid. It was the last opportunity.
At 0 o'clock , according to tlio orders
from those in charge , the gates were
to be closed. When the hand on the
dial reached that hour the last oppor
tunity of
DOING HONOR TO TIUUK DEAli
and gazing upon the casket inclosing
the mortal remains were forever gone.
The moments pped rapidly. The
guards hurried the line , and pressed
ns best they might , but when the
hour for closing came thousands yet
were waiting. To close the gates
against them and
SHUT TIIKM OUT KOKKVER
from their loved dead was painful to
the authorities , but to inana o sue
cessfully the great work of the day
inado it. necessary , nnd at 9 o'clock
the gates wore closed. By this time
the whole city was in motion and

from every direction tended toward
the park where thu procession
was forming and whore at 10 o'clock
the funeral ceremonies were to take
place. During the night numbers of
steamers from Detroit und from the
Canada side of the lake had come in
laden with thousands of people. This
morning's trains brought thousands
moro Iroin the lake and railroad do
p.ts , nnd
FROM ALL FARTS OP THK CITY'
flowed streams of people toward the
park us the rivers to thu ocean. Citi
zens of Cleveland , excursionists from
the country villages nnd cities of second
i end grade , residents of the great bus
iness centers of the country , repre
sentatives of the head of the govern
ment , military in the army blue , and
thu brilliant uniforms of the officers ,
Knights Templar with jilumo and
cross nnd sword , nil .ended toward thu
common center , all anxious to do hon
or to the memory of the soldier , citi
zen nnd statesman so soon to bo con
signed by loving hands to his resting
place. By 10 o'clock two hundred
thousand people had gathered about
the public uquaro.
PHOMFTLY AT TEN O'CLOCK
the military escort to the remains en
tered the enclosure and were assigned
the front seats on the platform. Gen.

before the ministe'rs arrived , nnd it
was then that the governor of the
state and prominent delegations of
citizens arrived.
THE EXERCISES IN TUB FA.VIL10N.
At 10 o'clock n. in , the nssomblngo
was "called'to order by Hoii. John R.
.Robinson . , who "announced 'tho first
exercise to be singing. The Cleveland
vocal Rociuty tlion sang Bolhovon's
funeral march :
, 'Thou nrtgnno to tlio grave ,
But we will nut deplore tliee ,
The korrow nnd darkness encompass th ,
tomb.
The Savior has passed through tlio portal
before theo , '
And tlio lamp of his love is thy guid
through the gloom. "
During the singing the minute gun
were hoard in the distance nnd nisi
the distant music of the bands of th
forming columns of the procession
Following the music Bishop Bodull o' '
the 1 * . B. diocese of Ohio read tin
lessen from Job 14 and 1st Corinthi
ans 15 nnd the 20th of Revelations
Then followed the opening prayer bj
Rev. Dr. Ross 0. Houghton ,
Cleveland. The prayer was
very fervent one , substantially ns
follows : ' "O God , our Father , wo bow
before thee with the weight of a
great sorrow upon our hearts. Ou
beloved president is dead , and all ou
hopes , which depended upon his wis <
dom and his integrity for their fulfill
ment , are blighted. Just why thou
has poriuittedrthis sad trial to come
upon us wo cannot tell , for thou has
not entrusted us with the secrets of
thy government. Thy thoughts are
not our thoughts , neither are thy ways
our ways. Wo' bow in huinblo
submission to thy will and wo pray for
divine help that wo may not tor one
moment doub.t thy wisdom or thy
love. Grant that the dark cloud
which hangs over ns may break ii
blessings on our heads. Woacknowl
edge our sins , wo implore thy mercy ,
wo rest in th } love nnd wo trust theo
to do for us nil that is wisest und best ,
Wo pray theo to overrule this great
disappointment nnd this great
grief kto the nojtion's good imd thy
everlasting glom Wo rejoice in the
light from the Ihrono % which already
begins to xlispol our darkness and thai
wo believe that although the nation'i
_ > rayers fo7 the recovery of our presi
dent were not granted , still thou will
not fail to bestow upon us , throng ) ;
his death , blessings even more vulua
bio to us than his gifted
and faithful life. Wo thank
thce , God , for the noble Christian
character of thy servant , which stood
out BO prominently before this nation
und the world , and wo pray that the
righteousness which ho loved and ox-
"inplitied may prevail in ull this land
nmiilst ull changes , Thou art the
abiding one. The world and the
things of the world mo pabssing away ,
but in the pavilion of thy love wo
uru over Biifo and secure. Hide us
there until eaith's calamities bo even
past. Be moftiful to the aged
mother and devoted wifoand orphaned
cliildien of our departed ruler , now
that their hearts are overwhelmed.
O , compassionate Savior , lead them
to thyself ; nuiy the sublime spirit of
loving submission enable them to say ,
"Not our will , but thine , 0 Lord ,
is dono. " May this family nnd nil the
sujfering nation bo brought through
this uflliction into near relationship
nnd fellowship with theo. Amid
the mysteries of the pres
ent balding dispensation , may
wo look forward to that
day when , in the light of eternity , wo
shall hear thy voice saying , "Said I
not unto theo that if thou wouldst
believe thou nhouldat sco the glory of
God. " Bless ull thy servants upon
whom the great responsibilities of
chief magistracy have so suddenly
como. Bless his cabinet and ull who
are associated with him in the affairs
of the government. May they rule
in thy fear. May they bo men after
thine own heart , and may we become
u happy and n prosperous people because -
cause our God is the Lord.
The choir next sang the grand
chorus from Mondollsohn , beginning :
'To Thee , O Lord , I YJoM My Spirit ,
Who brenkcHt , in love , tlil.sjiurtulcli.ilii ;
My lifo 1 but from I lice Inherit ,
And death becomes my chiofost cnln.
Ln Theo I live , in Theo 1 die
Coutent , forTliou art over light. "
llev. Dr. Errett was then introduc
ed nnd began his address. Dr. Errett
first read from Chronicles 33th as fol
lows : And the archers shot at King
Josiah , and the King said to his ser
vants "Havo mo uway for I am eoro
wounded. " His servants therefore
took him out of thnt chariot and put
lihn in thu second chariot that ho had
nid they brought him to Jerusalemand
lie died and was buried in ono of thu
sepulchres of his fathers nnd all Judith
md Jorucalem mourned for Joaiah ,
md Jeremiah lamented for Josiuh , and
ill thu singing women spake of Josiah
n their lamentation ot this day , and
nadu them an ordinance in Israel ,
ind buhold , they uro written in the
umontatioiiM. Now the rest of the
icts of Josinh , and his goodness , ao-
jording to that which was written in
ho law of the Lord , nnd his deeds
irat and last. Bolioldj they
ire written i in the book of
: ho kings of Israel nnd Jndah. Ho
hon began by saying : "This is u
Irno of mourning without parallel in
ho history of the world. Death is
sonstantly occurring , ' and every day
nnd hour , niHl almost every moment
seine lifo expires nnd somewhere there
nro desolate hearts atid homos , but wo
learn to accept thoinbvitablo audits \\o
drop the tear wo pass on nnd forgot.
Sometimes n whole community
mourns. Sometimes a nation ns n
sago or philanthropist or n martyr
passes nwny , but there was
never n mourning in nil the
world like this. I don't sponlc ox-
travngantly when I say that 1100,000 ,
000 ot the human rncu join in Una
sorrow. It is n chill shadow that has
gene into ovury homo and heart , nnd
passed over the ocean to nil lundannd ,
awakens sympathy with ns every
where. It is worth while to ask wliy
this is. It is in part of choice by ron-
son of the wonderful net which has
brought the nations of the world into
instnnt inter-communication , nnd it is
likewise in part duo to the fact thnt
our great nation , the hope of the
world , has tlio sympathy of nil nations
because of their respect for ns. Our
sorrow is recognized by all , yet this is
not all. Even the intellectual great
ness of the dead cannot account for it
all , for there have been
iu thu history of Union oven
greater1 ' soldiora and statesmen ,
but no man over combined so great
excellence in nil those walks of lifo as
has this ono man. Yet when wo look
for the real reason of the world-wide
reputation nnd affliction we found it
in his honesty , his serenity , his trans
parent nobility of character , which hose
so amply possesosd. I may stnto just
ihoro a fact not generally known.
When J. A. Garfield was a boy ho at
tended a series of meetings near
here led by a man of no remarkable
brilliancy , but only of great erudition.
Ono day Garfield came t him and
stid ; "Sir , I have listened to these
things and am convinced that if what
you say is true , it is my duty to ac
copb While I do not disbelieve it , 1
am not yet sure of its truth. After a
long talk with him the minister that
night pronchod on the truth of Chris
tianity and its entire safety to those
wko accepted it. Gnrfiold seized
th n and there upon Christianity nnd ,
coming forward , gave his hand to the
minister and to Christ nnd turned his
back on the world forever , nnd tl obey
boy was father to the man. Tliat prit.-
ciple has stood by him through his life.
Another thing , ho comprised in his
wonderful experience all the walks and
conditions of lito , And in that varied
life , moving-up fromhich to higher , ho
touched nil hearts and made every
man his friend , and these facts fol
lowed up both. Industry marked his
career , m ado for him the wonderful
success nnd gavq him the wonderful
love of the people , another attribute
I mention in the beautiful balance of
the varied qualities of true manhood.
There was no subject which you could
bring up which did not interest him ,
and on which ho was not learned , but
thu solemnities of this hour presents
further details of the character of the
great man. It is my duty to call your
attention to the creat lessons taught
by his lifo nnd death. There onics
a voice from the dead to tlio people ,
to our governors , to our legislators ,
to our military men , to our party
leaders. Its lessons are expressed in
few words. He went through all his
life without surrendering his love for
honor and honesty , and lor Chris
tianity. Coming , ns ho did , in
contact with every inducement to
? urrender his religious faith , ho ad
hered sacredly to them and broughtto
his death bed his love for Christ nnd
his Christian faith. I know there is
a feeling that a politician cannot nfl'ord
to bo u Christian , Here is n denial of
it. See his life ; it ends here at the
highest pinnacle of fame , within n
fo\v miles of the spot where ho began
public life us n preacher of the gospel
of Christ. From the pulpit ho was
sent to the state senate , wearing the
garb of the preacher of the gospel.
Ho went to the war for the union , and
there won for himself wonderful suc
cess. Returning , ho was sent to congress
gross , and remained there until , by
thu voice , of the people of the state ,
ho was sent to the United States sen
ate. When a mcmborof the senate his
ambition was fully Hatisficd. Ho wont
to Chicago in thu interest of another.
There the heads of the great conven
tion turned townrdJiim and crowded
upon him the nomination for the head
ot 'the nation. In the canvas nnd in the
election it was seen that he was u
great and noble man , lit in every way
for the place. Thus wo see , us thu
great lesson hero to bo learned is ,
that it is safe and for the best that
wo are wedded forever to the right
iind to Christianity. Here in this
[ ? roat country , where wo would incor
porate thu people of the world in ono
brotherhood , wu need for the
permanency of this work virtue as
well as intelligence. Just as wo cling
to this wo progress. There is a voice
to the church which I must mention ,
voice to the family where his truest
worth was known. What words can t
tell the sorrow there , the purity , the
jMiitlchoss , the manliness of thu man ,
made his homo happy. It is thu
greatest sorrow that this happy family
iiunt sco him no more. Tlio dear old
nothcr , who feels here that her four-
icoro years nro ended in sorrow , to
