Thus far the Republic of Liberia has more
than realized the most sanguine anticipatlons
Of lis early friends. They have exhibited,
for many wears the clements of firm and
consistent government. IN less than quar-
ter of n century they have grown from a
handful of people to an independent nation,
giving to the world daily the evidences OF
stability and wisdom in the management OF
their affairs. BY the benevolent approprla-
tiuns of several Of the States aided by indi-
yidual contributions, hundreds of the Alri-
