In this course of his discouise Dr.

"The cause of this universal mourn
ing is to be found In the man himself.
The inspired penance picture of
Jonathan likening him unto 'the beau-
ty of Israel' could not be more ap-
propriately employed than In chant-
ing the lament of our fallen chieftain
It does no violeini to human speeih

of him for wbo that has seen tats
