Excerpt from Memorial of Francis Gardner, LL. D: Late Head-Master of the Boston Latin School The Memorial Services were held in Huntington Hall, March 15th, 1876, the anniversary of Dr. Gardner's birth. The following was the Order of Exercises. Prayer, by the Rev. James H. Means, D.D., a graduate of the Class of 1839: - Our Father and our Friend, we gather before Thee as Thy children. Thou dost call us into being, and give us each our work, and in Thine own time dost take the life Thou didst give. But amid these changes, Thou Thyself remainest the same, guiding all, and building whatever we accomplish into the great temple of Thy plans; so that if we live to Thee, our work cannot be in vain or perish. We are mindful to-night of the devoted labors of him who was our Teacher. We thank Thee that Thou didst spare him so long, didst permit him to accomplish so much for successive classes of pupils, and didst in the end so order it that his work and life should cease together. Thou didst lead him in a path not of his own choosing. Thou didst call him in early life to the care of widowed mother and sisters, - a trust how sacredly fulfilled! Hedging up the path to domestic life, Thou gavest him his pupils for his children. With grateful hearts, we bless Thee for what he was to us: for the fidelity with which he toiled for our good; for the earnestness of his efforts to foster all high thought and generous learning; for his spirit of self-sacrifice.
