London, Sept. 2*l, 1 a. m. — A close approach to
church unity was made by the religious bodies
of London In honoring" the niemory of the mur
eered President. The Nonconformist and Freel
Churches united in the memorial service in the
City Temple, where the platform was decorated!
¦with flaps of all nations and occupied by min-j
inters of many Protestant bodies. The burial
assee was repeated in Westminster Abbey with
rtately simplicity in the presence of repre
sentatives of royalty, the full Doplimatic Corps,
many leading Englishmen and a vafct concourse
of spectator* . A service, a solemn supplication!
modelled closely after the one held after th»
death of Queen Victoria, was reverently fol
lowed by an assemblage filling every available
yard of floor space in St. Paul's Cathedral.
There were special services in St. Martin's-in
the-Fields and other English churches and ves
psn at th* Roman Catholic Cathedral were
veil nigh converted into a memorial service to
"' President. An anarchist's revolver has
united the religious world in reverent acts of
homage to the memory of the hearty, old fash
toned Methodist who was the first citizen of the
great republic.
Among these services the most impressive
¦fas the one in the storied Abbey. The nave
sad north transept were filled long before noon
and the south transept was occupied mainly by
members of the American Society and their
friends. The staff of the American Embassy
acted as ushers for the choir, where the repre
sentatives of royalty and member.- of the Cabi
net were seated with the Diplomatic Corps and
a distinguished company. Lord Rosebery's In
tellectual face was near Lord Pauncefote's bent
figure, and Lord Cranborne. Sir William Har
court, the Lord Chief Justice. Sir William Col
i ville and Lord Revelstoke were prominent in
the choir stalls. The service opened with
Tschaikowsky's and Chopin's funeral marches,
the calm, reflective, almost logical, movement
•f the one contrasting with the purity and ax*
alatlon of the other. The procession of chor
'-•ters and clergy was seen through a screen dooj
advancing from the remote end of the nave,
crowded with spectators. The opening sea
tences of the burial office were chanted by the:
choir, of thirty-Fix men and boys, and the clergy*
to three groups, with the insignia of the chap
ter -draped, slowly passed to their places.
"Nearer, My God. to Thee" was sung to the
Bag] v n score written by the Rev. J. B. Dykes,
the voices of sopranos and tenors ringing out
to the higher passages. The Ninetieth Psalm,
v.'ith Purcell's setting, was followed by the
leason, read with simple eloquence by Dean
Bradley. A passage from Arthur Sullivan'?
"Light of the World." beginning "Yea. though I
w ilk through the Valley." was sung with dell
- JJJjr and shading by the choir and was a fitting
Prelude for an interval of silent prayer for the
President's bereaved wife. Spohr's "Blest Are
the Departed," from "The Last Judgment," was
¦¦ng most impressively and was followed by
the Dead March from "Saul," magnificently
T>'.t\-<i on the great organ. Beethoven was sub
jected to a supreme test in being reserved for
Ike' final number after this uplifting funeral
•nfcrc-h. but the organist's Judgment was vindi
cated. The funeral march from the "Death of
Her 0 " closed the service with epical dignity
worthy of the glorious memories of. the Abbey

President suffering martyrdom for the cause of
