President McKinley

     While bowing in humble submission to the will of the Great Ruler of the Destinies of Nations, we acknowledge our utter helplessness to fathom the inscrutableness of the divine wisdom in His removal of the beloved President of the United States—that man among men, that God-fearing, sagacious, upright leader of a great people, who had accomplished so much for the cause of the Creator and his fellowman. Prostrated by this additional evidence of His wonderful wisdom, we can only exclaim: “Thy will be done.”
