Garfield’s Testament and Prayer

A CLASSMATE of the President said at a prayer-meeting lately : "Twenty-six years ago to-night, and at this very hour, our class was on the top of Graylock to spend the night of the Fourth of July. As we were about to lie down for sleep, Garfield took out his pocket Testament and said: ‘I am in the habit of reading a chapter every night at this time with my mother. Shall I read aloud?’ All assented, and when he had read he asked the oldest member of the class to pray. And there in the night, on the mountain-top, we prayed with him for whom we have now assembled to pray."
