Gen. Pierce at Bowdoin College.

Rev. Mr.. Drew Of the Gospel Banner, gives
an interesting account Of the Commencement

In the course Of proceedings Mr. Eyafis con-
trived to call up Gen. Pierce Of New Hamp-
shire, who sat modestly in the midst ofthe
Fraternity with his class Of 1924 Mr. Evans

elevation to the Presidential Office. General
Pierce could do no less than to rise and respond
10 this call He seemed somewhat anxious
at FIRST, but soon resumed his self command
and proceeded, to make very chaste aud hap
py speech.
He said he had come to renew the acquain-
tanceship Of his early life and to enjoy the sa-
cred "reminiscences Of other days Those bright
sunny days Of hope, were happier far than

ting gave him pleasure it was mixed with sad
ness which was almost unutterable, at the re-
membrance of those who had gone before us
TO the land Of shadows. He had visited the
college cemetery, and she'd his tears at the
grave Of the President Appleton (his father
in law under whom he was graduated. and

here fifty years hence. large as may be the
number. and more learned the body, he was
sure that day could not witness a Brotherhood
more fervently united in the bonds Of an en-
during friendship than was the Fraternity which
he addressed He closed by saying that to
whatever post Of duty or trial (making refer
ence to the allusion of Mr. Evans Of bis being
a candidate for the Presidency Of the United
States) be might in the providence Of God be
called, he hoped so to conduct himself as to
bring no discredit on the Alumni OF Bowdoin
College; on the contrary, it should ever be one
OF the highest objects Of his ambition to add, if
he might, something to that stock Of reputation
for their Alma Mater, of which you, Sir, Mr.
Evans have already contributed so much.
His speech was received with much ectat
and was most heartily cheered by the whole
Of the company.
