When Mrs. Garfield reached the Capitol for a last look at the remains the rotunda was cleared out and many who had congratulated them- selyes upon success in getting advantageous positions were compelled to leaye. The duty of guarding the building and of preventing a Tush into the rotunda devolved entirely upon the Capitol police, under Lieut. Boyden, and it was performed ‘creditably and courteously. Except reporters and those who were making preparations for the ceremonies, everybody was excluded from the rotunda until nearly20'clock, en the doors were thrown open. The first arrival in body was the Beauseant Commandery of Knights Templar from Baltimore. They marched in, took a position surrounding the corpse and performed what is known as the silent service of the order. They then marched out of the rotunda. The chief object of their visit to the coffin was to deposit a floral offering. The rotunda filled up slowly, notwithstanding the immense throngsthat had surrounded theCap- itol. Th jous crowd had ey idently become impressed with the fact that they could not get in without tickets. TROOPS MASSING AT THE CAPITOL. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, when the doors of the Capitol were opened to certain bodies of citizens from here and abroad,there wasa group- ing of uniforms and a sounding of bands on the plateau. The massing of troops in the vicinity | followed. They wheeled and countermarched without musi But they came up into position with mournful music. The scene from the eastern portico as | the troops marched around, surrounded by dense crowds of people, with the bright sun- cht glistening across all, was impressive and very interesting. Its general phases changed slowly. THE FLORAL DECORATIONS.

The Ceremonies. AN IMPRESSIVE RELIGIOUS SERVICE—FUNERAL SERMON BY MR. POWER. At precisely three o'clock the ceremonies were begun by the singing of the opening anthem. Every sound save that of the sweet music was hushed,.and the solemnity of the occasion im- pressed itself upon all present. The ministers, Drs. Butler, Errett, Power a Rankin, grouped around the head of the coffin while the opening anthem was being sung. The | choir sounded very sweetly; the | ¢ filled the rotunda and flooded upw The pri «remarks of the ministers were heard distinctly. yell as could The services were opened with music.

Then answered Jesus unto them: ‘Verily, verily, 1 say unto you: he that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hatli everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death unto life. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me on My Throne; even as I also overcame, and set down with My Father in His Throne. Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. And they shall see His face, and His name shall be in their foreheads.’ And He went a little further and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, 0, my Father, if it possible, ‘let’ this cup pass from me. Nevertheless not as Iwill, but as Thou wilt. It became Him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect, through suffering. The disciple is not above his Master, nor the servant above his Lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his Master, and the servant as his Lord. Let not your hearts be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me. I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you. Leave thy fatherless children; I will preserve them alive. And letthy widow trust in Me. And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them. And they said, Is this Naomi? And she said ups them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara; for the Lord hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty. For a small moment have I forsaken thee: but with great mercies will I gather thee. Thid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness, will Ihave mercy on thee, saith the Lord, Thy Redeemer. And Jacob died, and was gathered unto his people. And Joseph went up to bury his father. And then went up with them both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company, And when the in- habitants of the land’ saw the mourning, they said, this is a grievous warning to the And they did unto him, according as hehad com. manded them. For they carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the ileld of Machpelah, which Abraham bought | for a possession of a burying place. And I heard a voice from Heayen saying unto Me, Writ Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them. I wouldnot have you to be ignorant con- cerning which are asleep, that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them, also, that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. The Lord gave, the Lord peut ee away. Blessed be the name of the Lord The Rev. F. D. Power, the pastor of the Chris- tian chureh, on Vermont ayenue, attended by President Garfield, then proceeded to deliver the following feeling and appropriate addr REV. MR. POW 'S REMARK! Mr. Power said: The cloud so long pending over the nation has at last burst upon our heads. We sit half-crushed amid the ruin it has wrought. A million million prayers and hopes and tears, as far as human wisdom sees, were Our loved one has passed from us. But | there isrqiet.

The church was ever a restful home to him. In_ his last iliness, knowing of our dally prayer for him, he was heard to say: “Che dear little church on Vermont avenue! They have been carrying me as a great burden. When I get up they shall not it.” And when God saw fit to amiee hin sorely in the death of his little son, five years j he said to me: “Come and holla brief service ‘of read ing avd prayer, and ask a few of our brethren and sisters tocome with you.

Ihave thought that some of the Pauline spirit of boldness and gen- tleness, blended, rested upon him. He had great reverence for the family and relations. His example as son, husband and father is a glory to this nation. He hada most kindly nature. His power over human hearts was deep and strong. He won men to him. He had no enemies. The hand that struck him was not the hand of his enemy, but the enemy of the position, the enemy of the country, the enemy of God. He sought to do right, man- ward and Godward. The call of duty was ab- solute with him. He entered upon his high office at its mandate. He said to me: are gladder than I am.” He found, however, supreme satisfaction from the ready and obedi- ent service which he rendered to this rulinz principle. Because of it, his actions needed no explanation and no apology. Of the nomination he wrote me: “I should feel the hea burden which it brings: but when I meet the duties of each day as best I can, I cheerfully await whatever result may come, feel ing that the responsibility rests not with me.” It was in this spirit that_ he met wounding, wasting, death and his God. It is an example that will live. Like the opposite mirrors in the East room at the White House, which reflect and re-reflect Images in indefinite procession, till the eye can no longer follow their receding in the distance, so the power of suchalife will goon endlessly. He was a grander man than we knew. He wrought even in his pain a better work for the nation than we can now estimate. He fell at the height of his achievements, not from any fault of his; but we may, in some sense, rever- ently apply to him the words spoken of his dear Lord: * He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastise- ment of our peace was upon Him.” As the na- tions remember the Macedonian as Alexander the Great, and the Grecian as Aristides the Just, may not this son of America be known as Gar- field the Good? Our President rests! He had joy in the glory of work, and he loved to talk of ‘the leisure th did not come to him. Now he has it. This is clay, precious because of the service it ren- dered He is a freed spirit; absent from the he is present with the Lord.

Autumn rolls around; the birds have long since hushed their y the flowers faded and fallen away; the forest fo- liage assumes a sickly, dying hue; so earthly pines pass away, and what is true remains with The pageant moves; the splendor of arms and the banners glitter in the sunlight; the music of instruments and of oratory swells upon the air. The cheers and praises of men resound. But the spring and summer pass by, and the autumn sees a nation of sad eyes and heavy hearts; and what is true remains of God. “The | Eternal God Is our refuge, and_underneath are the everlasting arms.” THE MUSICAL CEREMONIES.
