THE SERMO.

“Having then conversed wth vou from | my youth until this day, belold here I am. Speak of me before the Lorl and before His anointed, whether I have taken any

man’s oxor ass; if] have wronge! any man; if I have oppressed any man: if |

have taken a bribe at any man’s hand, and | I will despise it this day and restore it to you. And they said, thou hast not wronged

us nor Oppressed us, nor taken anght atany man’s hand.” (I. Kings, exii.: 2-3-4.) |

Before the remains of the honored dead are borne hence to their Jast resting place, it ig meet tome words should be spoken in | this sacred edifice to tell of life aad hope amidst the sadness and yloom thai encom- pass us round about. Itisno exaggera tion to say that the great heart of Canada has been strangely moved during the past three weeks, its sympathy aroused as never hefore, anda sorrow deep in its sense of | loss and pathetic by rea-on of the voble | qualiries its olject,awakene |. Nor ha< the |

; i

mourning and regret been confined to our dominion. From across theocean an echo of the empire’s wail has reachca our shores. From far and near have come unmistaka- ble evidences of regret. Nooutward mark of respect to the memory of the departed has Leen omitted. From our gracious sovereign down tothe lowliest citizen, from personal frien is and politicc! opponents, an abundance of such tokens have been given. The representative of our Queen and the civil power of our country are here to vive all pomp and cireumstance to his funeral. BUT MAN DIES NOT WITH DEATH,

and in the midst of our mourning the sol- emn rites of religion, tinged though they be with a human sadness, yet have an undertone of consolation, of hope, aye, of triumph! The pleading tones of the “Dies Irae” are not the wailings of de-- pair. They are rather the expressions of confilence in an infinite merey. And fin- ; ally, before the remainsare carried forth, the exultant words which contain a pro- mite and an assurance of victory over the vrave are intoned : ;

rounds his actions and the more unsparing the censure to which his conduct is sub- jected. What might have been hidden from the masses of the Jewish people in the day« of Samuel is impossible ot con- cealment from the public to-day.

A _ life such as that of the late premier is not in- ten led to be written merely in a family register, to be perused only by intimate friend-; it is to adorn the annals of a na- tion and to be an example anil an instruc- tion to future generations. All through the history of the past we find that the Creator =p ke to hs creatures not by rev elation only. but also by the living exam- ple of those in whom genera] principles of -many virtues, which might be gathere| from various sources, had been ha-m>.- iously blended. The concrete action of their well regulated 'ives was calcalated tu exercise a greater influence over the con- duet of many than abstract principles,h pw - ever explicitly inenleated.

How, then, did the late premier rise to the lofty eminence in which he was stricken | by the hand of death? It was not by the aid of the outward aceident< of wealth or birth, much less was it by an UNWORTHY THE AND PREJUDICES OF THE PEOPLE,

A faithful observance of the law of labour | imposed by the Creator of the human race, and from which noone without dis- turbance of nature’s order can ex+mpt himself, together with intellectual gifts of a high order, strengthened and made per- fect by a deep religions spirit, enabled him to hew a pithway theous: the diffi :mltie. of life on anever upward plane.

The words of the book of Wisdom,—

It WAS THE ELEMENT IN WIS

“Love justice, you that are judge: of the earth, Tniak of the Lord in goodness, and seek him in simplicity of hear’ ,”

hal sunk early and deeply into the heart of Sir John Thompson. To the justice of his dealings with all men, both as a pri- vate citizeuanlas a public official, we have alrealy alluded, and the public veice fully endorses it. The way he sought the Lord in goodness and siniptie- ity of heart is known to his frieids. He recoznized it to be the first daty of a Christian to follow the dictates of con- -cience, and to make bis life an outward expres-ion of his inward convictions. We shall not insult his memory, nor seem to think so poorly of the enlightened citizens

| of this Dominion, as to offer any excuse

fur, or Vindication of, the change of his religious belief, made after due delibera-

tion, in the strength of his young man- hod. HE WilO FOLLOWS CONSCIENCE NEEDS NO

NINDICATION in the eyes of posterity, ner excuse before the bar of contemporary opinion. We shal! merely say that his manner of life, from the date of that change until the day of his death, wa3 that of 2 thoroughly practical consistent catholic. Both in pub- lie and private, at all times and under all circumstances, he fulfilled with regularity and exactness, not merely the essential duties of his religion, but likewise many of those which a busy man might weil be ex- cused for thinking supererogatory. This faithful discharge of his religious duties brought him into daily and close inter-

course with his Creator, detaching his mind from the love .of material

| things, causing him to see the emptiness

of worldly honor and applause, aml mak- ing him realize that

He was summoned from the presence of his earthly Sovereign to that of his Eternal Lord and Master. Well was it for him tat, “being made perfect in a short space, he falfilled a long time,” for only his Christian life, and not worl lly honors or success, could then avail him. Men oftes wonder at the ways of God in taking away at an early age the just, whilst leaving the wicked. So they won- dered in the days of Solomon, who ex- plained the seeming mystery by saying, * For his soul pleased God, therefore Le hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities.” If England mourned and all Canada wept at the sudden falling of | his night, there are tho-e whose agony, not only then, but now, is too sacred to be un- veiled. The faithful wife, and loving children, and sorrowing relatives, must hear only not their full share of the public bereavement, but also a b-tter personal loss, the extent of which can be known save by themselves alone. IF WORDS OF SIXCERNST STMPATHS

and every mark of tender ant delicate re- spect could obliterate such sorrow from the mind, they would be even now fully comforted. From far and near such words have come.

By her =pe- cial command, all the observances pre- scribed by his religion were carried ont, and almost royal hunors paid to his re- mains.
