The elements combined to vest the obsequies of Canada’s war- Time Prime Minister with a grandeur befitting the occasion. The early sunshine of the after- noon flooded tiie streets as the body of Sir Robert was borne in solemn procession from his home to All Saints Church. During the service the skies darkened, until, as the cortege moved through lanes of silent citizens, lightning flashed and was succeeded by rolls of thunder. some rain-drops spattered the mourners gathered around the grave. But when they left. the thunder-clouds passed on, and once again Sir Robert’s sepulchre lay bathed in the russet light of the setting sun. A Nation In Sorrow All the solemnity of a nation in sorrow for one of its most dis- tinguished sons accompanied the final rites attending the interment. More than the dignified formalities of o. state funeral were contained in the services. The humblest in the land occupied their place as | of right with the highest. I It was "an affectionate farewell" which Most Rev. J. C. Roper. Archbishop of Ottawa. pronounced at the service in All Saints Church. He emphasized that "farewell" so that "it might ring out clearly the great Christian conviction Sir Robert held so certainly. that it is not the end of all." His Lordship praised the stead- fast faith of Sir Robert in his christian -teachings. “With some sorrow and much thanksgiving for the life of a great Canadian' he said “one who had the power of winning the lasting love and friendship of the people with whom he came in contact, we say fare- well. But. confident he is living again. let the tone of joy and thanlcfulness ring in it.” The state honors accorded the deceased Statesman saw repre- sentatives of all spheres of national life in attendance. Rt. Hon. S‘r Lyman P. Diiff. Chief Justice of Canada. was present on behalf of King George; A. S. Redfern, Sec- retary to the Governor General. represented Lord Tweedsmuir, who is in the Maritime ?rcvinces:`Brig. General C. H. MacLaren had been delegated for the Duke of Con- naught, whose term as governor general synchronized with Sir Robert Borden’s regime as prime minister. Memlbers of the Ca’c'.net at present in the capital acted as honorary pall bearers, together with those of Sir Ro'bert’s former ministerial colleagues who were able to reach the city in time for the funeral.

On one side of the hearse were four stal- wart members of the Royal Mounted, on the other four Wal' Veterans-members of the Ottawa.

Along tra:-bordered Laurier Avenue the cortege continued. the bandsmen changing into "The Dead March in Saul.” A cordon of close to .1,000 Canadian ex- service men lined the route of zip- prach to All Saints. Church Service In All Saints Church. where for many years Sir Robert and,Lady Borden had worshipped. the body was received by Archbishop Roper, Archdeacon J. M. Snowdon and Rev. C. G. Hepburn.

Four hundred moumers were present. among them representatives of foreign and provincial govern- ments, executive officials of the civil service. prominent citizensl and friends who had been closely associated with Sir Robert. The full choral service of the Anglican Communion was follow- ed by a brief tribute by the Arch- bishop. This His Grace prefaccd by reminding those assembled that it. was not customary to add to the beautiful and familiar exprcssons of sorrow, thanrkfulness and prayer of the service. After the opening words of the service by Mr. Hepbum, Rector of All Saints, the choir and con- gregation sang. "Unto The Hills Around Do I Lift Up My Longlntr Eyes." Responses were read from the 90th and 23rd Psalms, and Archdescon Snowden read the lesson. A quartet of the choir sang. "Crossing The Bar” and all joined in "Now The Laiborer's Task is 0'er_" The pronouncement of the Archbishop followed, and the ser- vice was concluded with prayers and benediction.
