, HIS PASTOR’S FAREWELL. Impressive Scene at Church on General Harrison's Last Sabbath in Indiana polio —Rev. l>r. Haines' Eloquent Tribute to the President-Elect. Indianapolis, Feb. 25.— President-elect Harrison spent his last Sunday in this city, preparatory to his departure for Washington, in a quiet manner. With his family he attended services at the church where he has been a worshiper for many years. The edifice was crowded. At the conclusion of his sermon. Rev. Dr. Haines, the pastor, spoke as follows: "Before these services close I can not bet bear in in ud that which to-day Is prominent .n the thoughts ot us all—the fact that this is the last service prior to the departure from amoag us at one who tor more than a third ot a century has been identified with this Christian church as a member and an officer. When now members come to our communion we bid them welcome in the name of our God. Certainlyit is uot unfitting, when long-tried and honored members go out from us for a season to places of influence and of responsibility elsewhere, that we should tender to them our heartfelt assurance of our godspeed. “I am sure it would be a grief to the members of this church were 1 to fail to break through the silence that has characterized this pulpit in its relation to the peculiar excitement of the last eight months and permit you, sir, who have been so long and so intimately associated with us here in Christian life and work, to go out without one word expressive of our earnest, affectionate wish and prayer. This is not the place nor the time for words of mere congratulation, however sincere. Our sense ot personal esteem and gratification over your elevation to the Chief Magistracy ot the Nation is to-day overshadowed by the necessity of separation, and especially of the sense of the serious, the solemn, responsibilities that are to be laid upon you—responsibilities which no man on earth is qualified to meet in his own wisdom and strength. For unto you in no small degree will it be given to influence for weal or for woe the of 60,000,000 people. “You go forth to meet these responsibilities carrying with you, as you well know, the unwavering confidence as well as the warm personal regard of our fellow-Christiaus. We have learned to believe in you—in ycur personal integrity, in your tested, established, Christian character. Character is superior to achievement. It is itself the highest achievement. Office without character is nothing. We joy in the anticipation that you will exhibit to the people of this Nation that crowning glory ot magistrates and sovereigns, a genuine, broad Christian manhood, pure in its purpose, catholic in its spirit, undeviating in its loyalty U duty and to God. “We remember that you are called not only to be an example but a Leader to the people of this land. When Moses, who as an organizer and stalesman stands without a peer in all history, received his commission from Jehovah as leaderof the chosen Nation he was overwhelmed by the sense of his own weakness and deficiencies. Unto him Jehovah then spake and gave this all-sufficient assurance: 'Certainly, I will be with thee.' Tbe eterual God is the same yesterday, to-day and forever. May you hear His voice speaking unto you those very words He spake uuto the law-giver of Israel, girding you for the coming tasks, guarding you from threatening perils, and enabling youto lead this great American Nation forward to higher conditions of freedom and righteousness. "In the stormy days of our civil war we recall that in the charge on the field ot battle once and again you led the ranks forward and planted the flag ot our country upon the ramparts gallantly won. Now, as the leader and commander of three-score millions of people, we pray Almighty God to grant unto you strength and courage aud wisdom to lead these hosts forward in the paths of justice and truth until our standard shall be planted on the height of a God-honoring and therefore enduring prosperity. We know that you have set before you as the pole-star of your public life—to use your own words—“a patriotic purpose to promote the true glory ofgonr country and the highest good of our people.’ We are glad in the belief that the righteous hopes inspired by your words and by your owu life among us will be justified in days to come. We rejoice in the confident expectation that the coming quadrennium will be marked by priceless blessings from the Father of Mercies conferred upon our beloved country through your character aud administration. “I speak for all the members of this church when l say that we will hold you and yours tenderly in our hearts and we will remember you at the throne of grace in our prayers, ever beseeching that God of nations unto whom our fathers looked and were lightened to guide you by His counsels, to shield you by His Providence, to enrich you with heavenly wisdom and to make you perfect in every good work to do His will.” Dr. Haines during the delivery of this farewell tribute spoke with much feeling \and had the close attention of his large Audience. General Harrison sat with head slightly bowed as though greatly affected by the solemnity of the occasion; as also were Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee. At the conclusion of his remarks the pastor closed the service with this prayer: "Almighty and everlasting God, Heaven ia Thy throne and the earth Thy footstool, and both Heaven and earth are full ot Thy glory. Thou alone art the sovereign Ruler of alt nations. Thou gtvest the kingdoms of the world to whomsoever Thou wilt. Thou workest all things after the couusel of Thy will. We beseech Thee now to take into Thy holy care Thy servant whom Thou hast called to be the Chief Magistrate ot this people. Endow him plenteously with the gifts of Thy spirit. Let Thy wisdom he his guide. Let Thine arm be his strength. Direct him In all his counsels and actions to Thy glory and to the welfare of this land, that through him justice and truth and peace may abound, that from him, and those ’associated with him in authority, there may go out iufiueuces to develop the highest interests of our Nation and to build up in a yet nobler way a Christian civilization that shall be a benediction to generations yet unborn. And, together with thy servant, regard, we pray Thee, all the members of his household. Keep them under the shadow of Thy wings. Crown their lives with the blessings of Thy Providence and Tny grace. As they go forth from us, our Heavenly Father, we commit them into Thy care. We make this our prayer. Will Thou. Lord, make Thy face to shine upon them and be gracious unto them. WUt Thou, Lord, lift up the light of Thy countenance upon them and give them peaoe. And now, unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. be honor and glcry through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever, amen.” As the congregation arose from the prayer-offering many handkerchiefs were visible and the older members of the church were particularly affected. Just before dismissing his congregation Dr. Haines asked them all to rise and join in singing “Our Native Home” to the tune of “America,” and the words of the hymn were sung with so much pathos that hundreds cf the audience were affected to tears and both General and Mrs. Harrison were visibly af'acted.
