122 MEMORIAL OF JOSEPH HENRY. 



men :ill the ignorant and erring families of men. By the brink 

 of tin' grave, ever the end of all that perishes on earth, we read, 

 () God, our Father, that mighty apothegm, "The things that are 

 seen are temporal, the things that are not seen are eternal." 



Hi' very nigh to the hearts that knew him best, and bless them 

 with the blessing he in life invoked. Be very nigh to our rulers 

 ami our chiefs, and to all our people in the state and in the church 

 and to all those in our schools and seminaries and laboratories, and 

 in our Congresses and Legislatures who are molding the thoughts 

 of the nations and the civilization of our times. Grant free scope 

 to the awakened faculties of men. Protect the mighty march of 

 the coming millions, and crown their toil with an unfading crown, 

 through Jesus Christ. Amen.
