To Honor Rmpreai, Not Mmlman.
! Some Austrians living in Geneva
conceived the project of placing a me-

where the lOmpress Elizabeth was as-
sassinated. The authorities, however,
refused their permission on the ground
! that it would be improper to commem-
orate the deed of a madman and help
to preserve his name. In place of the
tablet it is now proposed to erect a
chapel in honor of the empress.

Ever a True Christian.
It Is wr 11 known that his godly mother
had hoped for him that he would become
a minister of the gospel, and that she
believed It to he the highest vocation in
life. It was not. howe\er, his mothers
laith that made him a Christian. He had
gained In early life a personal knowledge
of Jesus which guldded him in the per-
formance of greater duties and \:.ster
than have been the lot of any other Am-
erican President. He said at one time,
while bearing heavy burdens, that h«j
could not discharge the daily duties ot
his life but for the fact that he had
faith in God. William McKinley believed
in prayer, in the beauty 01 it, in tlie
potem v of it. Its language was not un-
familiar to him. and his public addresses
not infrcquenth evince the fuel, it was
perfectly consistent with his lite-iong
convictions and his personal experiences
that he should say as the lirst critical
moment after the assassination ap-
proached. "Thy Kingdom come; thy will
t,,. done." and that he should declare at
the last. "It is God's way; his will be
dene.'" lie lived grandly; it was fitting
that he should die grandly. And now
that the majesty of death has touched
and calmed him we tlnd that in his su-
preme moment he was still a conqueror.
I<eft«oiiA from the Sad Kveat.
Let us turn now to a brief considera-
tion of some of the lessons that we are
I to learn from this sad eveat. The lirst
I one that will occur to up all Is the old.
..Id le-son that "in the midst of life we
are in death ' "Man goeth forth to his
work and to his labor until the evening.
He fleeth as it were a shadow and never
: continueth in one stay." Our President
! went forth in the fullness of his strength,
1 in his manlv beauty, and was sudden y
! smitten by the hand that brought death
with it. None of us can tell what a day
I may bring forth. 'Let us, therefore, re-
member that. "No man livetli to himself
and none of us dleth to himself." May
I each day's close see each day's duty done.
Another great lesson that w«- should heed
is the vanity of mere earthly greatness.
1 In the presence of the dread messenger,
i how small are all the trappings of wealth
and distinction of rank and power. 1 be-
seech you, sick him who said: "1 am the
! resurrection and the life; he that believ-
eth In me. though he were dead., yet shall
be live, and whosoever livetli and be-
iicveth in me shall never die." There is
but one Savior for the sick and the weary.
I entreat you, find him. as our brother

We Iiu.de him good-bye as he went to as-
