In every language and in every clime Henry George speaks to all hu- manity today. Why is this vast gathering assembled here today, and a vastly greater crowd are outside seeking admission? Why is it that vast multi- tudes have come from early morn, from almost before the rising of the sun, to gaze mourn- fully and lovingly on his face, and to again contemplate the noble character of the man? It is because there was a man sent from God, and his name was Henry George. [Applause.] Indeed it were a... pity that such a man should be elected mayor of New York! It was well that he was spared the ignoble strife and the dull care of a mere administrative office. It would indeed be a pity that he should have been compelled to bear the petty crosses, the unending strife, the unceasing troubles of such a position. I repeat, no administrative office 38 Funeral Addresses was worthy of the spirit of this seer, of this poet, of this prophet, of this messenger from God. [Applause.] He died just when he should have died, just as he ought to have died.
