could oiler their passing tribute to the most brilliant intellect devoted to the ser vice of the State since Parliamentary Government began and to the courage resolution wlfsacrifiC and discipline with which he continued hist on behalf of the he had down to the last period granted to an English statesman The i says Whether men agreed with him or differed him in matters of party politics they could not come within range of his influence as an administrator without pro foundly impressed alike with his ex traordinary powers of despatching pub lic business most efficiently and his absolute devotion to what he believed the highest interests of his country LADY Ottawa May After tbe Wo mens National Council had passed a resolution of condolence Lady Aber deen made a touching reference to the death of Mr Gladstone The Count ess said Today world mourns its Ins of a great light and forgets all past differences But I dare not speak much of Mr and Mrs Gladstone for my and I have ever felt our selves almost adopted children in their house They are associated with the memories of in both in childhood were both our parents and Mr Gladstone has often said to us that Lord Aberdeens grand father the Premier was the one statesman of his earlier years whom he loved And as the time went on our love became more and more associated with theirs both from public and a private standpoint We spent our last night in the Old Country beneath their roof and when went home last year it was to warden that I went first after landing as a matter of course I know that we both feel that if we have been able to try to follow any high ideal in publio life we owe it largely to him who looked on every part of his life a mission None of us know what influence of Mr Gladstones life in the present and past generation of English public life has been in this direction How often have we seen him come iuto a room where some subject was being discussed lightly and flippantly and by his en trance all was changed One of the earliest things I re member him saying which made an impression on me was when on a visit to my fathers house in the Scottish highlands He was one day at tea with us in the school room and as ho left the room ho turned to us children and said You must pray for me there are some bishops to be appoint ed pray for And in one of latest letters to me when speaking of some political question bo wrote What we want is more prayer more prayer The deceased statesman will lie in state under a catafalque in Westmini ster Hall on Thursday and Friday Saturday May has been fixed tho date
