The usual service of the church was read with responses, and the lesson read by Dr. Douglass was taken from the eiKhth chapter of Deuteronomy. The musical programme which iutor- sperned the services was the prelude "March du Sacre." largo, from "Xer- xes;" processional hymn, "Gloria Patri ;" Te Deum, "The Star-spauKled Banner." anthem, "The Heavens Are Tellin};;" "My iCouiitrv. 'Tis of Thee." "Sevenfold A.Wi«n," recessional anthem, "Hail Co- jtinabia." and the Doxology. Rev. Dr. f^IsKim. rector of Kpiphahy Church, made the c ief address of the oc- casion, speakias: nearly three-quarters of an hour on "Washington, the man aad the patriot." The address was replete with beautiful thoumhts and patriotic suggestions. He took for his text, "And Elisha saw it, and he cried, my father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof," Kings: il, 12. These words, which are at once a lamentation and a euloKV, might fitly have been on the lips of every citizen of the United States on the day when George Washington passed away from earth; for, by the unanimous suffrage of mnnkiud, he has been hailed as the Father of his Country, and, by every fresh historical inve-sticration, it has been made more abundantly manifest that he was to the young; republic of the west more than its 'chariot' and its 'horsemen' — he was its sword and its shield, its wisdom audits strength. In- deed, there was paid to his memory just such a tribute as this which Elisha ren- dered to the patriot prophet of Carmel in eyery part of the land which he had fir.«!t made free by his , ▼alor and then made strong- by his wisdom. Nor was the threnody confined to this western hemisphere. It was speedily taken up by every country in Europe. No people could withhold their tribute of tjrief and respect at the passinii' of such an heroic soul. Yes, Washington was mourned throughout the civilized world. The reverberation of his fame passed from shore to shore, till it «irdled the earth— not like the sound of the war drums of England that follow the sun in his course around the globe, but like the echo of the hymn that once was heardj over the hills of Judea, 'Peace on earth,* good- will to men.' It is natwral, and it is " well, that the birthday of such a man i should be celebrated by all men who lovej liberty or admire greatness and purity of character, Washington belongs to all citizens of America. Nay, in an im- portant sense, he belongs to the whole i world. As Talleyrand wrote in the order that announced his death to the French i people, "he lived for all nations and for all countries.' " ! The speaker then reviewed the life of Washington as a man, aside from his ; peerless record as a soldier and statesman, ; and insisted that it was his private life | that taught the youth of the land a great I lesson. He did not undertake to say that, Washington was void of human frailties, for he was not, but he had a will strong enough to resist temptation. He had a waim, manly heart, full of the mJlk of human kindness, full of sympathy to and withihis tellow-mea. Wasbiogtoa Avas a sincere Christian, he read the Bible daily, and was a man of prayer. Dr. McKim concluded his SBrtendid ad- dress MS follows: And now, my comrades, among the Jessnns which tie siU'lv of the career of this greatest American oukUI to write deeply on our mindsji this ought to stand in the forefront. I will ex- press it; in his own words. Of all the dispost tions and habits which lead to political pros- perity, religion and morality are iudisponsablejl supports. He refused the tribute of patriotism) to ibe man "who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness." l^t us do j the same. lie warned his countrymen to bfl ^ iiOauiinn.t in entoitalniiiir the supposition '•tliiii nioi- liiA . in b;) maiiitalnel without rellplon."

Let Washington's great name Ring through the world with loud applause; Ring through the world with loud applause; Serene he stood amid dismay, When gloom obscured Columbia's day; He never faltered in his trust That God would bless a cause so just, And make his native land to be The favored home of liberty. All united let us be. Praising Him Who made us free; Serving Him with all our powers, Peace and safety shall be ours. Postlude, Inauguration March, Soitsa.
