Words of Praise

Editor

We herewith publish extracts from some of the more eloquent and timely eulogiums pronounced on the late President McKinley at various memorial services:—

Bishop Edward G. Andrews of the Methodist Episcopal Church and pastor of President McKinley, conducted the funeral services in the rotunda of the Capitol, September 17 His address was eloquent and impressive. He spoke in part as follows:—

"William McKinley was a man of incorruptible personal and political integrity. I suppose no one ever attempted to approach him in the way of a bribe; and we remember, with great felicitation at this time, for such an example to ourselves, that when gret financial difficulties and perils encompassed him, he determined to deliver all he possessed to his creditors, that there should be no challenge of his perfect honesty in the matter. A man of immaculate purity, shall we say?
