ton Of the most wonderful Operation Of that Providence
which rules the destines of Humanity, that my very
voice shrnks back from falling from nay hps and feel
the spirit OF coming events whispering into my
ears Bow In abortion before The finger OF God, and
follow silently his whitman has to be silent when his
tory speaks : and it Is history which syeaks.
Who would have thought that the modest weasel
which, two hundred and thirty years ago, landed the
handful Of Pilgrims Plymouth Rock, fraught with
the palladium OF the worlds history. Oppression drove
them from their ancien, European home to the wilder
Of unknown world. the Maylower developed
into tree Of freedom. Where the wilderness stood,
there now mighty Christian natl stands, rncqualed
In liberty guided ia general intelligence and general
prOsperiy-a glorious evidence Of manknds sovereign
capacity tor self government
Oppression drove ne from my native land The bat
tie keld where the destnes Oi ChTstendOnl have been
decided in foI times and the dcstinies OF Christian
civilization are to be decided again Oppression drove
from that hallowcd, marsysed land and come an
exile to The asylum OF the oppressed developed into
home OF liberty
But | come not TO ask an asyhm-not 10 seek n new
home come to claim from the happy sons of the Pill
grim fathers brothers hand for the oppressed of the
Old World that the old house where hundreds OF mil
lions dwell may not be doomed to become jail to all
those millions And humble rs am, the cause plead
is great 1t is the of the community in manknds
Gesunies end because plead that cause-5ecause in
my very misfortune there Is principle dear to your
hearts, you honor the poor exile NO triumpher was
horored yet
You honor the misfortune OF my people success

Massachusetts thus welcoming unfortunate Hungary
n it does is n revelation of manknds nobility II Is
revelation of the community in nnnkinds destiny 1t ia
the spirit of liberty opening the book Of the mysteries OF
the future that Ii may be known to the world what 1t
Hungary has TO do and What il is America will do.
Our part is the danger and the suffering We know
it, we accept it with firm resolution and sefreslation
NV land is the emblem of resistance An humble shrub,
we stood our place through centuries and not only re-
sisted the hurricane, threatening to blast Chriuany
but checked it, course will resist the hurricane OF
despotisu threatening blast the freedom and civlza
ton of the Christian world and God and America help
ing, we will check its course.
I've bear a double cross in arms-we bear 1t in
our history The mountains of Hungary, upon which
tina. emblem of nartyrion,lwas planted golgotha
but golgotha is not the hill OF deatht Is the null OF
resurrection and eternal life triumphant over the doors
of hell When we had to bear the first cross, long
night of le0 years lay glooniy over our gogotna ana
still the day OF resurrection ca ne.
Now have to bear the second cross the night oil
death will not be so long the stars OF America are
bright like sum- 1t IL from that place here they have
arisen first it is from that place here they shine first
sun of consolation and of hope to oppressed human
ity and that place here is high in moral majesty as
that its glorious light should not spread over the horizon
of the Christian world. 1t is not yet three years that
Hungary is nailed to the second embematlcal cross.
The number three is oninous in mankind's history
This is our part danger and suferings and resur-
rection The part you will act is glorious. Oppression
drove your Pilgrim fathers from Europe Inc sons OF
tic Pilgrims will send back in requita liberty There
is Justice in divine DEGREES Az there logic in history
The stone which the builders rejected has become the
hesdstone OF the Halowed be the name ofthe
Mighty God.
Sir. Ense pitt placiddm sab Hbetats quietan' is the
motto Of Massachusetts, Algernon sydney wrote these

is no reope on earth which has right to say that

mild tranquility-and il will find it, sydney has died on
the scaffold and Warren OH the battlefield .
They were mortal men, and am an exile may ole
on the scafold, or the ba te-feld. am mortal
man. but liberty has riumphed on Bunkers I'LL, and
will triumph around Budas Hill. The former was the
first battle the latter will be the last Out oil the martyr

spreading s mighty branches over republic OF more
than twenty millions
The last is overshadowed gloomly by the tree of
Russian despotism etching its branches far over its
