Only a few of our poll number I met here in Washington today the morning. Welcome together. With bad purpose in the whole world know well on. The other will be but a very small part of the whole of the cause of his grave. The word friend has a staggering we. Comprehend of those who had the better than others personal. To the light as well as to inspire but it also includes literally millions in the country and abroad. The ruling he is only a voice it is a voice over who would listen since he began speaking in the accents and reasons of the American people and continue to do to the peoples of the entire world in the United Nations these people have an all or stored conditions of live high and low degree of varying color religion listened to that voice with unabated interest and with undiminished respect they have heard in it the unmistakable in the nation of friends and they have responded with the gift of their affection. Most of them have never seen they are not our company of the day a lot of any one of us here we have all heard the same. Bill. But it's echoes are likely to be stoning down the corridors of history for a long term. Or it is the essence of faith. To believe that the world at the bending AIDS will suffer no less or than we have on reason or intelligence. Upon character and compassion and raise all these things along. With Amen when this voice has spoken to us so often and so clearly in the past we do not need to be reminded of what we have lost. That hurt the No one of us. Who old the pride. We may better then give thanks for what we have had. And rejoice in our recollection of our good fortune came to be many of our it was a merit of Governor the will of the building but of including himself in the politics we may think I believe that it was simply his response to one of his people in things that for public service he endured the greatest opportunities for Effective Public Service live in elective office the shattering disappointments that beset that way of life can also dissolve in the satisfaction of feeling the reins of political power in one. Part of the good and just and the disappointments were his in cruel measure but the battle factions were his as well. We need not fear that he ever look back with despairing regret at the way the final balance was struck there was a strong family bent for politics and that lay Stevenson was of a generation of Princeton students who thrilled to the saga of Woodrow Wilson. That figure in our history in the room the contrasting worlds of the university and the precincts have had their most dramatic and junction in this cathedral the spirit of Woodrow Wilson is always very close surely it has never been more so but at this moment. The youthful Maher has completed the course with honor. And the rest will be admired. The Pooh have often been compared although there are obvious disparities and then there are many similarities in political style above all they had a common vision of a just society at home and a peaceful world a brawl both were agreed that the mobilization and direction of political power was a producer which no man is going away are which would be a phase. And who can say that the dream of the youthful. In terms of a world made for the markets they. Did not include a happier and if only the rocky road the political powers that be perverse once more by a man with the same. Adelaide business and enjoyed politics. The infinite variety of people he met the people around them to be as another walk the lives of all the. Good and bad and more frequently partly good and partly bad. He had a particular liking for the last four he knew that most of them including themselves are in the. The sense that grain of sentimentality which is always under the surface of political relationships. With minds together in a path of brotherhood onload to live and die on the ballot. He brought the highly emotional environment is older or responsive. By those qualities which we need all of us are for softness and cynicism. That are the highest if you're polite with the spirit yes demanding friendship a sympathetic understanding that most politicians have creditable reasons for worrying about the day after Election Day. You have the expert political leader here and think we're trying to identify the other fellow's problems and pressures before passing judgment a bonding. With even her story of love become a legend. The glories of it are many but none of her is more brightly than the side of him putting to work at the United Nations these very qualities which rocket into the foreground of the math of politics. It was as if he repeated the move to personal disappointment the very center of the problems of the sleigh all people in the barn would depend the survival of civilization itself his whole life and their preparations for events of this scale of importance. In our sense of the fitness of things. Touched by this completely civilized man doing battle for the position of the very idea of civilization. For our biggest stake we put forward our best and he met the top of the hour and is the colonel or if there is reason to be despairing on the. It is because this man has been removed from the important work of war and peace but he. Knew the perils ahead better than most Well those offered by them in virtue the last of the magnificent gave the world he said for all our deaths but. I do not believe in the word that was unfortunate but God in his despair of his children. Why who are there are we not of color and the faint of heart we have lost a friend but all the world as love. And that has left us in the fall of the towers and secure in what he must know to be. Back on the fact. That he died as he would have. Gained in his country. And mankind. The you. The you. The the. The you. The in the the. The in. The you. The you. The you. The you. So the nation's political leaders lay down their partners and and now nailed her and made Stevens and a national leader Amanda measured for the office and the presidency by the millions of Americans these are. His casket will be carried from here to bring the of them on on the Capitol and govern his Grieving Children and Family now knowing all about me the casket. This is John Chambers in Washington.
