The Funeral.
The following prayer , composed for the occasion , was impressively read by the Rev . S . Asher , in the Great Synagogue ; and by the Rev . A . Barnett , in the New one , Great St . Helens : — " Creator of all ! thou art he whose throne is in the heavens , and thy glory filleth the whole earth ; and , although thou art exalted above all , yet
in thine infinite mercy dost thou regard those whom thou hast formed . Thou vouchsafest thy favours to thy creatures . Thou impartest thy grace to those who fear thee , and inspirest them with knowledge and understanding . Happy the man who puts his trust in thee ; for all who hope in thee shall never be put to shame , and all who confide in thee shall never be confounded .
" Verily our hearts are faint , and our eyes are dimmed with tears , for the loss of our illustrious and beloved Prince , his Royal Highness Augustus Frederick , Duke of Sussex . He was the joy of our hearts , the promoter of good . Alas ! this benevolent man hath passed from earth—his shadow hath departed ! The Lord hath taken him—he is no more ! " We know , O Lord I that thy judgments are righteous , and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted us . "
Reader and Congregation : — " We give thanks to thee , O God ! Though thou wert in anger with us thou turnest from thy wrath , and dost comfort us . " O Lord God ! remember how he walked before thee in purity and rectitude , and the good which he hath done in thy sight . Great was his charity . He was the hope of the poor , and the strength of the weak . O
receive his spirit with mercy and with kindness , that it may find protection under the shadow of thy wings , and may his rest be glorious and everlasting ! Amen . " Almighty , most merciful and gracious , we supplicate thee this day—a day of sorrowful assembly ; for our eyes see and our hearts understand that prosperity endureth not for ever . Look down , we beseech thee , from thy
habitation ; endow us with thy holy spirit ; forget us not for ever ; for we will make perpetual remembrance of thy name . Cause us to know that to those only who trust in thee is there hope at the last , and that for those who confide in thee is there eternal salvation . "
In the Spanish and Portuguese synagogue , a special service , composed by the Rev . D . Meldola for the occasion , was performed tp a very numerous congregation . The children of the numerous charitable institutions of that body were in attendance . After the service Dr .
