The church held his body for yet a little time, for the simple service of the faith in which he lived and died. Then the gov- ernment which he had served in war and peace, claimed him for burial among the great company that sleeps at Arlington.

Washington, July .—(P)—-High above the little brick church where mourning relatives and friends gath- ered today to say their last farewell to William Jennings Bryan, flags fluttered at half staff from the great government buildings to mark the nation’s formal tribute to the cd&n- moner. The drooping colors spoke of the service he had given to the flag as soldier, statesman and legislator. The solemn religious ceremonies in the church and ut the grave were+ keyed to recount his valorous cham- pionship in public and private life of the gospel of peace on earth and good will toward men, _There were many hours of the simple rites of the faith he cherished so stoutly, of the solemn passing be- side his bier of humble folk of mourning for Bryan the plain citi- zen, the commoner, before comrades of the regular army received th casket to pay last honors in Arling- ton national cemetery to Bryay, the soldier and public servant. Throng Bier Again ns yesterday, the fallen vet- eran of so many stirring conflicts of national life kept the solemn state of death in the house of God, where in life his devout lips had often led in prayer. Again the clus- tering hundreds thronged the aisles to glimpse a moment the still, peace- ful face. There were none to deny them, no rank of dignitaries to in- trude on this last hour of the plain people with the man whose proudest boast was his championship of their causes, great or small. He jay with only volunteer com- rade-guards, set apart from the throngs that passed to look upo him only by death, and the test mony those slow moving hundreds gave more plainly than words of the place he had made for himself in the life of the nation. It was for this reason and to await the coming of the last members of the family circle Mrs. Bryan deferred her own farewell until the public had had its last moments to honor the dead. For that parting she chose the sacred privacy of the little church, where the casket had lain since a short time after its arrival from Tennessee early yesterday. Still bearing up bravely under the double burden of her great and sud- den grief and the heavy afflictions she has known so many years, Mrs. Bryan found the strength to arrange with her religious comforters and the ‘circle of close friends of her dead husband the last details of the services. It was by her wish that the brief Presbyterian services ar- ranged by the Rev. Dr. Joseph R. Sizoo were expanded io include bible s, that the dead man prized al all others. It was she who told of the hymns that had brought him comfort and peace jn the long. arduous years of their companion- ship. Greatest Peace Mr. Bryan also, like President McKinley, found his greatest ‘peace in the solemnly Spieeion faith of the old hymn “Lead Kindly Light” and it was his desire that sung when he had passed to long sleep. Thus it was that the aireins ne this sven led by i deep voice of a great pipe organ and sung by a mixed ‘cholr. from. the loft above, were selected to usher the simple and the impressive service, for the dead. Another old hymn dear to her husband's heart came next in’ the r of services Mrs, Bryan had red, ne, Smectly, Sol- se: for the religious and Thi lected by service. “I am the Resurrection i the: Life,” br
