quent Clergymen-
A bright chcory morning tlavnitd
on the day Hint was to BCD the soil
close over the earthly remains ( !
President James A. G&rfiulfl. A
: moro superbly beautiful day for
out door exercises conhl not
well bo imagined. The citizenn'.com
niittco mot nt 9 o'clock in the morn
ing , and at the universal roquect
changed the place for holding the
memorial exorcises from fho Academy
of Music to the campus of the High
school building. In response to the
request , a very largo number ol
business houses did not open at all
during the day and the others closed
in the afternoon. At 1 o'clock the
bolls began to toll which was the sig
nal for n general suspension f busi
ness. Soon after that hour people
bewail fo pour into the grounds through
thonarrow.strcots leading to thorn and
by 2 o'clock I ho sidewalks wore actually
blockaded.
A temporary nlatfortu had hcen
erected upon- the high school steps
whore thu clergymen wcro to
apeak , the members of the citizens'
.xommiUco and several other promi
nent gentlemen were stationed.
The platform was heavily
draped in mourning and en
circled with evergreen sprinkled lioro
and thcro with immortelles. In the
centre of the platform was a life like
bust of the dead president beautifully
cnwrcathod in flowers Over the door
way of the school American flags wore
looped with mourning. Underneath
wore the words "A Nation's Sorrow. "
In other parts of the platform wore
the mottoes :
fi ; , , "Millions mourn with us to-day. "
"It is the hour of grief ; " A hero has
fallen , " and "Wo bow and weep. "
y A few minutes after two , o'clock
* * Mayor Uoyd advanced to the front oi
the platform and asking silence , said :
MoyorBoyd's Remark * ,
It docs not require any formal announcement
nouncomont from mo to tall you why
wo have assembled hero at this time.
One week ago the sad intelligence was
flashed over the wires that James A.
Garfield , after nearly twelve weeks of
Buflbroring , had finished the voyage of
life , and entered the port of
immortality. Of him it can with
truth bo said , lie was cut
down , "in the glory of his days and
the pride of his strength. " At this
hour all that remains of his once noble
form is about to be consigned to the
oilunt grave , and wo , in common with
Trillions , not only in our own beloved
America , but all over the civilized
world , have mot to mingle words of
sorrow and of praise.
' It is an ancient and befitting cus
" torn , and no inoro impressive scuno in
ever witnessed thtin that of paying
honor to thu dead. And , in honoring
the dead , let us who yet li\o ,
"So live , that , when our uiimmoriH coma" ,
to join
The Innumerable caravan , that moves
To that mysterious realm , where end
Khali take
' Ufa chamber lu the silent Imllx of death ,
- Wo f'o
* * Sustained nnd soothed
Ly an uiifultoriuj ; tiust , approach the
grave
Like ono who wraps the drapery of hl
1 couch
About him , i.nd Una down to plen anl
dreams. "
The mayor then read the ordur oi
exorcises ;
The exercises were opened with
" a brilliant selection from Beethoven
rendered with excellent taste and
rare skill by the Musical Union
orchestra , Prof. LUiinhauser leading.
When the musio closed Gen. Man-
dorson stopped forward and in a loud ,
clear voice read the proclamation oi
the new chief executive , President
Arthur , and of Gov. Nance , of this
xtato.
' The In vocation-
Ilev. A. F. Shorrill , pastor of the
Pirat Congregational church then stop
j > od forward and allured the following
invocation :
"Our Heavenly Father , we are
gathered to-day , tut part of a grea
.company , in common sorrow am'
mourning. The lu > ad of our Nation
respected and beloved by all , has bum
taken away , in violence and crime , am
our souls are stirred with deep sense
of ulUtctioi ) and loss. Grant us tin
presence of thy Spiiit , in this hour
that 'All the words of our mouths am
the mediations of our hearts , may be
acceptable in Thy sight , ' and that tli
imprcBaivo scones and lessons , of this
* ad avont , may lead us all , to more
humility of spirit , moro aoriousness o
repentance , moro devotion of service
and moro faith in Tlico , to when
cornea no death nor any change , whosi
name is Love , whoso ways arc righl
and whoso 'Will be donu on earth ns
' in IJoaveii. ' Which we ask , with the
with the fort'ivoncss of all sin , in tli

The Omaha Glee club then nung the
choruientitled Olive's Brow-"How

cary soul to rcAl. " This w' anporb-
y rendered. _
The
Ror. J. B. Mvxlicld , p
older of the M. F church , oltorcd the
bllowing pray/r :
Almighty God , though Vtiy ways
are unnoaycliablc , j-ct in .Iwnis Christ
wo can see Hie brightness tf Thy fnco.
In Him the light of Thy countenance
shines upon all the lot rf men. Hy
Him wo underntand so much o { Thy
[ irovidcnco as it is inwntial for m to
know. Embraced in this rovulation
to men in Christ , : .9 > tlio knowledge of
an Almighty hand tlmt alike directs
the lightning as it leans from the
clouds , and guides the dove to her
Immblo licit ,
Wo stand to-day in the presence of
a great sorrow tlir.t has burdened every
lieart , and nhedowod every homo ,
and dftrkunod ttis broad lan < l from the
to the west and from the northern
lakes to the nunthorn everglades , lly
the force of tltis sore bereavement all
all othwr pnmuits have been laid aside
and the nativn weeps.
America to-day stands beside her
dead amliinouniB , refusing to bo com
forted beca'jso her favorite son and bo-
lo\x > d chief magistrate is not.
The signs of our national grief are
everywhere manifest in drooping ban
ners and funeral wo ds , in the hush
and silcttcc that rcsta UM [ I the great
city , and the booming of signal cuns.
The hum of the spindle , and the whirr
of the lathe are stilled , for the fires
havo.gonooiil in the forgo and the fur-
nacn , that men may indulge in tears
and have apuco for iwdnuss. Yet the
weight of this woo rests most heavily
upoii-our own hearts. Oh ! God , was
there no ether w y in wliich to ad-
momuh ami chastise us than the tak
ing ofl of this precious life in the
midst of its years when the promise
and the prophecy of its earlier times
wow about to bo realized to their
fullest amplitude ! Must this temple
of our liberty have poured upon its
altar thcso libations of the blood of
our noblest and best in order to its
pcrmananco ? Shall partisan xcal and
sectional strife only pass away when
Lho public conscience is startled into
activity by such a , shock as this ? Shall
the north and the south not greet and
love each ether except by the pow
er of grief BO great as this ?
Shall true American unity , only bo
reached as our hearts are softened by
such sovcro minUtry as this ? And no'
offering shall bo deemed too costly
hut shall sccuro results liko'thcso.
In the midst of our tears wo offer
, heo thanksgiving for the lifo of our
"alien president.
Wo thank the for the purity of his
private and public lifo. Wo thank
, hue for his unswerving Gdulity to
tin home , to his country , and to his
God.
God.Wo
Wo thank thco that while his sun
wont down at noonday it was full
orbud , and no cloud rested upon the
josoiu of its broad disc. . While wo
Doast of our mountain and plains , our
rivers and lakes ; the wealth
yielded by the forests , the mines
uul the soil , wo thank tJioo
that our greatest glorying under God ,
is in this , that America produces men
like this one , whom wo mourn , and
characters such as his , massive , sym
metrical , eternal. Wo bless Thy name ,
oh Lord , for the untold good that will
bo begotten by the luminous example
of this goodly man. Wo give Theo
thanks for his faith in Christ and his
consistent Christian course in lifo.
Our hearts are comforted in the fact
that ho was true to his convictions
and to his own manhood until death.
Wo praise Thee for his example as thn
aflbctionato son , the devoted father
and husband , the humble and faith
fill teacher aiid minister , the bravo
soldier , the unselfish statesman , and
the wise president.
Lot this example never cease from
our remembrance but keep it over
ilivo by the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
Ilcmomber.in Thy infinite mercy
the bereaved mother , thu widowed
wife and the orphaned children. Em
brace them in the arms of Thy bound
less compassion. Lay Thy hand upon
them and heal all the pain of grief.
Let this nation bo favored with Thy
iles throughout all our borders.
God bless President Arthur , sustain
him and shield him from harm. Save
him irom peril. Guard his lifo in
Thine own keeping ,
May the American people never
forget that ho in now our constitution
al president , dented for just such an
exigency as this , as much by right and
law the president as though no had
received for that ollico which ho now
fills every vote cast tit the polls.
Enublo us to consider that of all
situations poasiblu in our government ,
his is the moat delicate and embarrass
ing , while the responsibilities thereof
aru. the most weighty and grave.
Bless all who aru hero assembled
this day through Christ our Lord.
The hymn beginning "llomombor
now thy Creator , " was then ming
with much feeling by the Glee club.
This was : v quartette , in which Messrs.
Smith , Mori is , J. W. Wilkins and
Franco took the several parts.
Following the prayer thu Musical
Union orchestra rendered the Gartiold
memorial hymn , composed expressly
for the occasion by Prof , Stuinhuusur.
Biibop Olarl on' Address-
lit. Rev. It. H. Clarkson took for a
subject "Garliold as an example ( o
the youth of the country. " Ho said :
It may bo nafoly said that history no
where presents records of such a hceno
as this duy'u sun looks down upon.
Fifty millions of people in actual

from end to end bowed and silent in
responsive sympathy. ; Among all the
wonders of history this hour s scene
stands alone of its kind , and unap
proachable in majesty and sublimity.
Never has there been seen , hoard or
written of anything like it since the
world began. Now my friends wo
take the position that all this renmnv-
able condition of things that wo
see to-day on thu American
continent is not to be accounted for ,
simply because the man whoso doatli
wo lament was the president of the
United States , and tfiercforo the rou-
rcscntativo of a great nation. Nor
yet because his terrible laking-on' was
associated with mich a startling nnd
shocking tragedy , and with such con
tinued and pitmblo Butluring , borne
irith
1IKKOIHM
and 11 marvoloui patience Those
facts Jmve , no doubt , contributes
hrgoly to intensify the nation's sorrow
1 row , to cvoko the world's ' sympathy ,
and to swell ovoryw > ° rc tno melan
choly pageantry of to-day. Hut Vho
real source of this unexampled vxnibi-
tion of human grief lioi deeper than
all this. It is to be found in the uni
versal and unchallenged esti
mate of the departed presi
dent' * character , in tbo radiant
beauty of his great nnd stainless life.
From the fierce fltt upgles of bis lonely
childhood up through all grades "stu
dent , teacher , soldier , statesman ,
president" there was over the
ORANH 1'H.TUIIB
whoso mngnlficcnt colorings wore
truthfulness , diligence , fidelity , pur
ity , gentleness , iihuellishness , dignity ,
and cleanhandincss. And upon this
grand picture of human lifo there lias
noon cast as Tonnjson saya the shill
ings of the utmost posiiblo day
light , and there it has over
stood and shall always stand the same
clear , unstained and wonderously
beautiful nnd benignant. That is the
reason why
THE ONCOUNTKIl THOUSANDS
of the world's population stand to
day with uncovered hoadrt , and un
spoken emotions by the opened grave
that is to hitlo away from human
sight so much greatness , so much
goodness , so much loveliness , and so
much true nobility. What an exam
ple to the young man hero who feels
that ho has ftomothing in him that can
lift itself above the mediocrity about
him.
THE I.AUHKLS
that wreathe this man's splcndi 1 career ,
the tributes that cover his immo with
glory , the tears that aro. wept over his
tragic fate aroholiortriumphs far than
ever crowned the common politician ,
the average statesman , or the success
ful soldier. Because they are the
triumphs of character.
Wo Hold up to you young men to
day the inspiring name
JAMES AI1UAU aAliriELI ) .
Not because ho achieved success in
jaining position nnd power , for this islet
lot open to you all , but because ho
achieved success in preserving a record
undeh'lod by a shadow of meanness or
Jittlenoos , in sccurinp the nft'cctioimtc
adimratioh of all who over touched
liim in the manifold jostling of lifo ,
and now in bringing upon his memory
ho benedictions of thu ton times ten
; housand who have been helped by his
example upward to the right. This is
the true
VICTOIIY OF LIFK.
And this victory is in some degree at
tainable by every young man before
ne each one in liis own sphere , stand
ing , working and conquering in the
lot where God has placed him.
Ono thought moro. The mournful
death wliich wo this day lament , as
sociated us it is with such relations of
sadness and distruus as to attract the
jaze and thd sympathy of the world ,
is not utterly deplorable. Thcro is a
bright eido to it. Thank God there
was among us yes , oven at our very
liead such a mini to live , yea , and
such a man to die. Wo hold that the
world is vastly butter to-day ; that our
common humanity hns been lifted to a
iiighcr level ; that our young monhavo
jeen elevated intone and purpose , be
cause we have been bending in anxious
jrief for eighty days over the death
bed of such a mun , watching with
prayerful hope the
FLIUKBllIKO FULHK
of , his parting lifo , and be
cause , we are now in the
sacredncss of a holy sorrow , laying
liim way to his final resting place
amidst the pcoplo who loved him the
most bccausu they know him the best.
Life or death win equal honoia for
such a soul. Living , ho was an in
spiration. Suffering wo speak it
reverently < ho was Christ-like ; for
the Bwoet' patience and 'tho chistoned
resignation of that long ngony , was
but the utterance of the
hUHLIMB I'KAYEK ,
"Father forgive them ; they know not
what they do ; " "and being dead ho
yet speuketh , " and shall forever
speak to American youth.
Sometimes the young man who is
just entering upon his life's work ,
when ho observes about him so much
trickery in trade , so much corruption
in politics , so much sham in religion ,
or when ho is oppressed by the
thought of how long and hard the
fight is to bo before ho
gains Ins goal r when ho scema to
see about him the temporary advan

When the music died nway llov.
J. W. Ingram , of the Christian church ,
of which President Oarfield was a
member , nrosoand said :
( lAHFIKM ) TIM CHIUSTlA.f.
My weeping brethren and Borrow
ing countrymen. I am not willing that
ono word of mum should go to encourage -
courage anything like n man-worship-
injr spirit. Hut , while the tongue of
evil is over busy paintinir in darkest
colors , in all ulaccs. the faults nnd fol
lies of our fallen 'ra"0 , it seems no
loss n ditty , than a pleasure , to point
the whole world to the brilliant life
and beautiful Christian virtues of our
deceased president.
The influence of this lifo , nnd the
reflections of thcso virtues can bo
confined to noclnss , people , or nation.
In every land whore the torch of civil
ization has driven back the darkness
of barbarism , their influence has been
felt and all national lifo has boon
tnado moro beautiful by their embel
lishments.
The Christianity of James A. Garfield -
field is so closely interwoven with his
private , nnd public lifo , that it is dif-
iictilt to speak of ono and not the
other ; it is the ono thread of gold
that runs through every upward step
of
1UH KUrtLI.MK LIFE
From the dark shadows of poverty , nnd
obscurity , to the fullness of the glory ,
nnd honor , of the greatest of all
nations.
The religion of this Christian states
man was not that of a mcro outward
profession , nor yet , of ft moro inward
jfcntiment or feeling. Prayers , songs
Mid public servic.'S did not exhaust
Ilia iden of Christianity. With him ,
religion was n life , not a creocl , not n
dogma , not a system of metaphysics ;
but a daily cross-bcarinic , sacrificing ,
charity-bestowing lifo.
As evidence of his princely faith in
an all-wiso creator , a divine redeemer ,
and nn inspired liibio , it might be
sufficient | to direct the attention of the
world to his righteous lifo , and tri
umphant death , but along the path
way of his oaithly pilgrimage are re
peated
FLASHES OF IlELIGIOUH LIOHT
ihat moro clearly reveal to us his con-
Idpnco in , and reliance upon n divine
relation. At the ago of nineteen ho
m.ido , for the first time n public
avowal of his belief in the gospel of
Sod's graco. Doubtless this act was
: ho result of his overpowering faith in
3od , nnd his deep sense of duty. No
OYO of fame , no thirst for earthly
glory , no lust , for worldly wealth ,
: ould huvo impelled him to bow his
oyal neck to the yoke of the Blaster ;
'or the people with whom ho inudo his
spiritual homo , wcrp an humble , and ,
it that' ' time a despised people ; cling-
ng to the cross , and building quietly
on the rock. They could bo of no pos
sible service to him in any worldly
sense whatever.

was as deep and sincere as hir paternal
love.

Ho took a pen in his hand , nnd un
der the direction of his great heart ,
wrote a note to his Christian brethren ,
asking that a few of them bo with
liim in his great trial , nnd ended the
note by subscribing himself : "In the
hope of the gospel , so precious in this
uflliction. " These are words of faith
springing from- sorrowing heart , nnd
penned by a trembling hand.
Could wo have gone , on some bright
Sunday morning , n few months ago ,
and opened the door of the small , un

life , must fororer remain unspoken.
