Harding. Community memorial services have been arranged s,o that all who so desire may attend the services and in this way recog- nize the solemnity of the occas- ion. iDeath has its dignity. No one postpone its coming. The nation's departed leader heard the call anad quickly answered. His passing was quiet. The sun- set of his day was peaceful and serene. "FOR US, THE LIVING" "It is for us the living" to de- vote ourselves with renewed energy and heightened ideals to the task before us. Warren G. Harding has closed a life of high honor, and there is left to us the responsibility of carrying on the v*S|rk without his help. We must see to it that America's loss is n<£t irreparable, by doing our bit ittjth renewed inspiration. ^On Friday we honor his mem- ory by a suspension oi wonted activities. We are to lay our tt*es upon the altar of patriotic consecration. But on Saturday we must also pay a tribute by in- troducing into our work the (spirit of service and brotherly kindness, exemplified in the one who has been taken away. ||tf we falter in pur devotion to duty the memory of all our im- mortal dead will be dishonored. Iteve slip back onto the lower levels of selfishness and slug- gishness we shall cast a shadow of shame upon our departed lead- ers'. _4£-L_The highest freedom, the JSteiiy real and true freedom, is PRESIDENTS HYMNS The favorite hymns of Warren Harding were "Lead, Kindly Light," "Nearer,t My God, to Thee" "Jesus, Lover of W c „i ' and "My Faith Looks up tSo° Thee"' On Friday, August 10 in memorial services held throughout the United States, SS?

That won derful hymn, almost super-nat- uraHn the effects it has produced, aooeakd to McKinley's deepest S3EL His religious feelings roused by hearing that ta- were a miliar melody. These four hymns fPress fve chord in the heart of a man who was the embodiment of the very qualities that these hymns suggest. Memory In a proclamation issued Sunday at the capitol, Got. Len Small appointed Friday, August IS, a day of mourning throughout Illinois, calling upon the people of the state toJ^MaDDroprjate divine services on that day. At the same time Adj. Gen. Carlos E. Black, m a general order to the military and naval forces of the state, ordered the usual badge of mourning to be worn by all officers of the na- tional guard and oaval militia while on duty until Monday, September fol- riot freedom to do as we please, 1|tiTess we please to do the best, tphe highest freedom means will- ingness and ability to work for |$jfe highest interests of our coun- wyâ€"-our fellows and ourselves. j| JLet us learn from Warren G. Harding a lesson in patience^ liness. and noble ideals. THE PROCLAMATION The governor's proclamation lows: "Whereas, An all-wise Providence has called from this life our beloved President, Warren Gamaliel Harding, In the fullness of his powers and at the period of his greatest usefulness to this nation and to mankind; and ^Wheraa^A^pmgnaia^af and sense of great loss are fest try the people of Illinois in common with our fellow citizens of other states; and "Whereas, The President of the United States, by proclamation, has called upon the people for a fitting ob- servance of the day on which the earthly remains of Warren Gamaliel Harding will bo reverently laid in their final resting place; "Now, therefore, I, Lea Small, gov. ernor of Illinois, do hereby appoint next Friday, the 10th day of August, as a day of mourning and prayer throughout the state, and I ask that our people cease, so far as possible, their usual activities on that day, and show hy their demeanor and other out- ward expressions their realisation of the great loss the nation has sustained in the de*th of our beloved chief magistrate; and I further ask that they assemble in their usual places of divine worship to reaffirm their faith in the wisdom and beneficence of Al- mighty God and to ask the divine blessing upon the bereaved family of our late President. I also direct, as a further mark of respect to the mem- ory of our late President, that the na- tional flag be displayed at half staff on all public buildings under the con- trol of the governor of Illinois until the close of Monday, Sept. 3, 1923." ^is»#»i' jljVVhat can we do for our Pres- idents? This one thing, at least, can require less of them in way of public speaking, ban- <Heting, and hand-shaking. With ' ' tremendous responsibilities f$|y must have real rest. Let us le|ve them, more often, alone. \ %;^.----------â€"----------- rpecause Warren G. Harding |w||fe a printer and a President, printers feel a peculiar loss in his death.-~He m sympathi: rs.
