A Favorite Hymn Sung. Once more the faint notes of the organ pealed from far off, speaking to the very soul with the music of one of Mr. Wilson's favorite hymns. Softly the boy choristers, fully vested and arranged at either side:'of the sanctuary, began to sing: “Day is dying in the west; Heaven is touching earth with rest; Wait and worship while the night Sets her evening lamps alight Through all the sky “Holy, holy, hol, Lord God of hosts! Heav'n and earth are full of the Heav'n and earth are praising thee, O Lord most high. “Lotd of Life, beneath the dome, Of the universe of Thy home, Gather us who seek Thy face To_the fold of they embrace, For Thou are night.” Day was dying in the west; already evening's shadows filled the corners of the little Gothic chapel and an at- mosphere of perfect rest and repose seemed to sweep over the sepulcher as the congregation began reciting the Apostles’ Creed with the clergvmen. Reverently the Lord's prayer was re- . followed by prayers for the bereaved family. The hour of com- mittal had arrived—in a few minutes more, all that was mortal of Wood- row Wilson would disappear from the sight of man forever. Congregation Retires. Sweetly and softly the organ breathed the soul-inspiring notes of the recessional— The powers of Geath have done their worst, but Christ their legions have dispersed.” Quietly the congregation retired, the President and Mrs. Coolidge leaving first. And the widow was left alone with her cherished dead the last brief moment she might still call him her own. Quickly the large marble slab seal- ing the entrance to the tomb was raised. The quiet grave lay beneath, ‘waliting to welcome Woodrow Wilson to his last sleep beside three other Christian soldiers of peace who pre- ceded him. Facing the east, slowly he was lowered to his long-sought peace. Bishop Freeman intoned the final rites. Man, that is born of a woman, hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up and is cut down like a flower. He fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay. In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may we seek for succor, but Thee, O Lord, Who_for our sins art justly displeayed, Yet, man, Woodrow Wilson, former | d.
