The speaker paid a most eloquent tribute to the great man whom he knew intimately aud greatly admired, not only as a public man but as a christian.

He was introduced by Rev. Hendryx and after a few appropriate introductory remarks spoke of the many persons who visit the church of which he is pastor in Washington to gaze upon a silver tablet bearing the namo of this truly great man. They look for a moment and turn away in tears at the recollection of his great and glorious life. They weep not as over the death of a soldier, a statesman, a president, but as over all these and more a Christian brother, whoso crown was good ness and gentleness. We cannot find in history a name which could have inspired such universal sympathy.

Lincoln did not; Napoleon, who had made all Europe tremble at his power, even his death did not turn so keenly the hearts of tho human "race. Beaconsfield, who rose from obscurity to become the leader of tho house of commons, died not amid such lamentation. Over Webster's death tho nation did not bow in such reverence, nor over tho great scholar Agassiz. Yet when Gai field yielded up the ghost there was one outcry of agony throughout the nation. It was not his great qualities as an executive, but his true worth as a man, tiie highest type of manhood, a christian.

He received his education in the greatest of schools, at tho feet of a good and loving mother. Tho lessons taught then remained with him throughout life, aud ever controlled his acts. Conscience ruled him always. Men in public places are less govarned by the admonitions ot conscience than the love of glory. It is of this phase of his character as a christian ho said ho would speak.

To north western reserve, thou, in ISIS come Abriham Garfield, cleared tho woods and built a hut. Ono day the fire broke out and threatened to sweep away his cabin. He pitched in aud worked to save it, ho beat tho devouring flames but at tho cost of his life. On his death-bed ho called his wife to him and delivered over to her keeping, the four children the youngest of whom lived to becomo our president No one was more equal to the task for sho was a christian woman. Winter was upon the little hut; tho wolves stood at the door, and tho panthers howled in tho wilderness, foo 1 supply grew scant, anu sue must limit herself to two meals a day.

Thomas, who was but ten years old ploughed the ground and planted the crops. He soon made some money, '-now James must have a uctt pair of shoes," said the unselfish boy. "Then James mufc have an educaf ion Was this unselfishness ever unrewar.W tho youngest? He was tho most subliiao example of sim plicity in life. In tho summer ha worked hard upon the farm and in the winter attended the district school. Here, when eight years of age, he received a new testament as a prize.

Ho read and studied it and thus early in life received knowledge in th grand cause. At eight ho had read all ths books in the neighborhood; some until he could recite whole passages from memory. Ho read them as he afterwards worked systematically. During ono of the busiest periods of his work iu Washington he turned aside to deliver a speech upon the discoveries at Ephcjus. lb was a great effort He sketched the history of Ephesus and showed that so long as she followed the doc-triuesof religion she lived, and died when she them.

The first work he ever did was to cut 100 Other faces are forgotten but that ono never. A good mother made the great Wesleys; a mother's kiss made a painter of Benjamin West, and tho religious training of Eliza Bol-lou made Garfield a great man. How proud he always was of her. He took her before the great and introduced her with pride as "my Yet she never changed she came from tho log cabin to the White house and lost none of her simplicity of character. He entered the seminary with $17 in money.

Now the church put her her arms around him. On the lth of November, ho was baptised and and added to the church. From then the church has held him. She took him from a rough boy in poverty, loved him, protected him. gave him his highest inspirations during his life.

Oh, why does not tho church go out among the poor and gather them into her arms. She may then find another Eliza, another James Garfield. It was a simple faith the young student accepted; such a faith as the Christian church today offers. From the seminary, he went to Hiram college. The great secret of his success was his thoroughness He loved boys better than men.

He had a great respect for a boy, "for," he would say 'youi never know what possibilities are wrapped up in his coat." He was never too busy to give his children some of his time. The speaker met him once in a busy session of congress going down to the depot with his boys to put a horse upon tho cars for Mentor. Neither of the boys took more relish in tho sport than their father. A baud of boys at one time during the campaign met him at the depot of a little town near New York city. They were dressed in fantastic costumes and had their horns and drnms.

When the train came they gave three cheers for Garfield. The great man came out upon the platform and saluting them made an address. That group of boys will never forget such kindness. He took advantage of opportunities. Ho went to Williams and back again to Hiram, and during it all kept his life pure and sweet.

He often would speak from the pulpit while a teacher at Hiram, yet ho never intended to give up his life either to teaching or the ministry. All tho time ho was studying law. Tho nomination was' offered him to tho legislature. His friends advise this course and that, but ho went to his mother and sho said if he could carry his religion with him to go. Ho went and in a spirit of prayer, never feeling ashamed of religious professions.

Faith and truth with him a as natural and spoutauous. He was always sincere, large hearted and true to principle from beginning to end. nis lifo was typical. At the iuaugeration aud in the presence of tho great crowd he turned from kissing the bible, to plaut a kiss upon the lips of his mother and wife. From that time tho family was recognized as of the nation.

Tho nation felt for him in tho illness of his wife. Then cams the assassination. The prayers of the nation arose for him, for his Wife, for his family. They all became of interest to tho world: his two true-hearted boys and the little girl that the father loved so dearly They even stood beside that gravo at Mentor, above which was a plain slab to his oldest child, "Little Trot, who wins tho crown without the In 1S00, at Wiishington, was built the little edifice of tho Christian church. Judge Black and Garfield both met in worship there.

Before then tho congregation met wherever they could got room. At one time during tho administration of Andy Johuson who was also a member of the samo church, a western minister offered his services, Tho congregation, not ablo to raise enough money went to Garfield and Black to intercede with Johnson and secure the minister a place in the treasury department and- thus give him an opportunity to make his living. Soon it became noised about that thoro was a conspiracy afloat as theso three men had been sten closeted together. A reporter, pencil in hand, asked Garfield regarding it. After some hesitancy ho said Yes, there was a conspiracy to have the gos pel preached in Washington according to tho old principles of the Disciple church.

Ho was spoken of as tho "praying colonel'' in tho army. The speaker thon followed with many more incidents from the life of tho president illustration of his purity, charity and kindness. Garfield was not a sectarian. His was a simple character and his gospol was broad. Ho never hesitated to testify to it Even tho looseness of political life in no way affected him.

He was temperate and taught it to his family. When told state dinners must have winoss said ho could abolish state dimners. Garfield and Iugersol were friends, but tho former had none of the infidelity of tho latter. He was perhaps the only friend who talked seriousl to Iugersol upon religious matters. If he had been a man without faith ho could not have quieted an angry mob and turned them from rapine aud bloodshed with tho memorable word, '-God roigns, aud the government at Washington still lives." There was a sort of a cloud over his life.

From the tima he received tho election he did not see ono joyous day. Tho speaker then reviewed tho sad days when tho president lay dying, and most eloquently spoke of his funeral pageant and the ueptu 01 sorrow in wmcu nis death plunged daily and the annual, were all typical, and did not of themselves cleanse them from their sins Heb. 10:1 put pointed forward to the perfect sacrifice of the Savior, thus ever keeping the fact before them of their sinfulness and need of a redeemer. In this dispensation we have the reality. Heb.

2. We have such an high priest, who is set on tha right hand of tho throne of the majesty in the heavens, a nnnister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched and not man. Thus we see that we have a priest who ministers in the sanctuarj in heaven. In Heb. 9:24 we learn that Christ has entered into heaven itseh, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

Then it is as the apostle Paul asserts, that he is tha minister of the true tabernacle and that he appears in the presence of God for us and that He ever liv-eth to make intercession viL, 25) we must see at once that the cleansing of the sanctuary that the prophet was shown should take place in 1SS4, was tha service of cleansing the sanctuary that is really in existenco according to Heb. 2. This cleansing being the investigating judgment, for we read in both Daniel and tho book of Revelations about the books being opened and the-judgment set. So we thus learn that there is a record kept and that it will be examined in the judgment. In Rev.

19, we learn that in connection with the closing work of the plan of salvation there Is a door opened in hoaven, and thero was seen the ark of the testament, which was kept in the most I10I3 place of the sanctuary, which was only entered on the great day of atonement. So all texts that speak on this subject go to prove that it was the judgment work that wa to begin in 2SS I. Iu Rev. 14 there aro other statements made showing the same great fact in regard to tho judgment work. Iu verse 7 there is tho proclamation of the hour o'f God's judgment.

So the prophecies testify all through in regard to whero we stand in the history of tho world today. Thus in all Revellations the love of God is shown toward fallen man, in revealing to those that desire to know, the things pertaining to their eternal welfare. WHITE HOUSE OIF- Innes Boss.

Tho second day of the services at tho camp meeting on the West" side commenced with the morning devotional services at 0:0 followed by worship at 8:30, and a sermon by Elder Cook at 10:30, and another in the afternoon at 2:30, by Elder Bngby. In the evening the discourse was delivered by Elder Cook, of Grenola. His text was taken from Daniel 14. "An ho said unto me, unto two thousand and three hundred days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." The establishing of the time mentioned in this verse being accomplished last night, we have tonight to look into the sanctury subject to see what is meant by the cleansing of the sanctuary. We can readily loam by studying th sanctuary subject in the typical dispensation, what it was at that time.

Then by comparing tnat service and worship with hat the apostles have written concerning the ssnetuary servico in this dispensation we can ascertain definitely what it is at the present time. In the first chapter of Leviticus full and The Republican State Central committee have arranged for a meeting tonight at the G. A.
