THE INVOCATION.
Roy. J. B. Maxfiold then offered thi
following prayer :
Almighty God , Thou onpromo ruler o :
the universe before whom wo stand this
day , in Thy presence all human great
nets Is dwarfed into insignificance.
Compared with Tlieo wo are no thin , '
Our feeble powcra and onr brief life are
derived from Thee. Only because of this
relation , are wo and our concerns of any
moment whatever. This bond that
unites all Thy creations into Thyself im
parts to all human experience , its joys
and its Borrows , the highest importance.
Thus wo are assured of the diviuooympa
thy and support in all the vicissitudes
of life. Because of Thy divlno father
hood and because of our sonnhlp wo
come to Thee at this time. For our
hearts are heavy with grief and onr eyes
are red with creeping. America's millions -
lions , from north to south and from oust
to west , brought together by the be
reavement of this nation , with reverence
and respect , stand in the silence of the
morning about the grave of our republic's
greatest hero. The heart of the civilized
world boats in sympathy with that of
this nation as we come to celebrate the
funeral ceremonies of oar follow chief'
ta'n. Yet even now , when the grim
conqueror has overcome him who
was never conquered baforo , wo re
member with devout gratitude to
Thee that when the hour of our need
arrived Thou didst raise up the man who
was equal to the perilous times that were
upon us. Wo roccgnfza the work of Thy
hand that at the right time , when the
crisis came , Thou didst strangely bring
forward the great commander t-j load our
armies through c rniga and strife to the
final triumph of liberty. For this njog-
ulficont llto to Trhicb , in BO largo a
measure , wo are indebted for the poico
and unity wo now enjoy , and tha luitra
of iho American name abroad , wo offer
Thee humb'o ' und devout thanksgiving.
Wo pray Thy blojsln to reat upon tbo
people ot this vast land where rro dwell.
Let Thy blesslngo rojt upon the citizans
af the several atntoi of our reunited
jountry. From year to year draw them
more closaly ti Thee nud to each other ,
Let thy bloating rest upon Thy servant ,
ilia president of trie United States , and
ill others In authority under him.
Bleis each membar of the family of
mr mighty dead. Sustain and comfort
; ho widow who exemplifies the noblest
.rait of womanhood , when so great n
; rlef burdens her Heart. Bless Ilia sons
if thU noble sire and make them worthy
0 boar the unsullied name tint it thelra.
3loss with Thy tondorcst care tha devot-
: d dAightur who caino from bay on 1 the
ena to watch beside the death.bod of
, ho fond fithor who loved her so well.
And 110 ir , Oh Lord , blcsj this vast con-
lo-uao drawn togwtbor hero , this d y , by
ho forca of n common Borrow. Let aucli
icuncs as these load in to regard each
Mhor more tcudoily and Theo mora rev-

had resolved , said thia officer , rather
ban do SD , to throw up my commission
mt before taking this stop , I thought il
roll to Uy the matter before Gen. Grant
nccordingly sent him n copy of the Ict-
nr. His Immediate reply was : "Pay no
ttontlon whatever ta oommunlcntlons re-
Dived from Washington , " This , addoi
ly host , was just what I had oxpoctec
rom Gen. Grant , nnd I took his udvlco.
TnoBO aots of Gon. Grant speak for
homselves. They put his character in
o now light. They but omphsiza what
on nlresdy know of his public record.
The wnr gave him fame nnd high peal-
on but to no ono else did it bring as
mny hardships nnd consuming cares aa
> him. His inarch to victory , as every
ody known , was 110 dries parade. Bui
either tha hard knocks received from n
illant fee , nor the fear of public opinion ,
or the lierco popular pasalonn thai
irgod around him , ever made him for-
ut for u moment his duty as a man nnd
sildlor. At a time when the bittar
iolinga always engendered by civil strife
id Borne other men to a ay and do thlng < i

ioko next , saying : "With tha hour
imps the man , " la n proverb which has

have grown accustomed to the thoughl
that Washington WAS Delected of God foi
the great task of securing the indepond.
once of the United States , and wo arc
beginning to learn that Lincoln woa hi
like manner chosen to preserve the Integ
rity of that nnlon whloh Washington had
founded. In selecting the martyred
president the people were bat Instru
ments iu the hands of a power far might
ier than they. But little in the previous
llfo of Lincoln Indicated that he was the
man for the hour. During hla prcaldcn-
li l career the people were continually
grumbling , yet the peculiarities of Presi
dent Lincoln at which wo took moat
offenss now are soon to bo the very quail-
ties needed to gnldo the nation
through Its trying ordeal The time
came when Lincoln had done all that ho
could , when a military genius was needed.
Wo had a largo army , well equipped ,
well disciplined. Wo had an enthusiastic
people behind the army aud the presi
dent ; there was a resolute determination
to preserve the Union , but without a
general competent for the task tha army ,
the equipment , the enthusiasm were nil
worthless.
In view of the result is It tuo much to
claim * that God elected for ns the ono
man in nil the Unitcd.Statca who could
brine ; the war to a successful termina
tion ? In none cf the great crisis of
hlttory is displayed moro clearly the
workings of a power beyond and above
man. With the hour cams the man , nt
last the grand army moved nud preesod
forward slowly but steadily until the end
was accomplished and the throatonc
storm of scccstion wai disported. Th
a tiny when General Grunt commando
was the eamo Array which other general
had commanded and with which the.
hnd failed ta end the war , th
same able loaders commanding on th
other side , onr baltalllons were no strong
cr thnn they had bocn before , the other :
but little weaker , and the success gtlncc
can only bo attributed to the niilltir
genius of General Grant , n geniua whio
has been recognized all over the world a
placing Grant nnnng the loading milltar *
men of nil time , Among thi < notable fig
ures of the civil war Grnnt towered abov
them all , save , perhaps , the great pri.s
dent. In the silent , modest , unobtruelv
man , aa in the silent William of Orange
who secured the indopoudunco of Hoi
land , lay concealed qualities , which
v.'hou brought Into action , revealed
truly gto t man. Perhaps in no part n
his llfo was th'a greatness moro greatlj
brought to vlosv than in thoao last weeks ,
when General Grant has fought cnhnlj
nnd pcralstunt'y with the couquoro : o
all , that ho might gain time to Imlnh th
literary work which ho had undertaken
and B& in'hla long struggle with th
confederate loaders , ho was sac

when hb work was com"

iho world should know what took plac

We have learned to know tlio man a :

the glory of v lorous deeds lives on for
over. Rome , that tat on her eternal
hills and from bor throne of bonnly ruled
the world , has long since- crumbled Into
ruin nnd decay. Dor fleets , her conqttor-
ing legions , her temple * , palaces and
triumphal arches sleep almost forgotten
In the dust of the Rget ; her very language
la dead nnd unspoken by mankind , but
the natno of her Ctuiar in greater to-day
than it was when Homo was in the zsnlth
of her power , when her fleets sailed into
every aon nnd her triumphant Irglona
sought In vain no IT fields for conquest.
Napoleon , whoso military gonlui deci
mated all Europe , whoio victorious armies
bore the eagle of Franco in triumph from
Madrid to Moscow , who founded for him
self nnd family the greatest omplro of
modern times , whoso word made and un
made thrones and kings , died in enforced
exile upoun _ lonely island of the ocean.

The lact empress of Franc ? , whoao splen
