Mr. Kelley spoke of the Importance of a
good literature since the authors OF nation
held the peoples destiny in their hands. In
order to make their works survive the ''wreck
of time," authors must possess lively imag-
ination under the control of good taste. They
must have sympathy with their fellow men.
They must be faithful to life. Lastly, a litera-
ture can derive its real permanance only
from truth.
Mr.. Young spoke of the condition of affairs
previous to the Reformation and the agency
of the Scriptures in its rise. The effects Of
the Reformation on religion, government lit
erature and science, were discussed. He
closed with some remarks on its genera
ennobling tendencies.

crease of corruption in the political history of
our country during the last few years. This
corruption IL prominent in all nations and
great communities. The influence of money
over human conduct is increasing with an
alarming rapidity. The ouly way in which q
reform can be accomplished is by union of
the honest, upright and christian men of a
country combining without regard to party,
and cooperating to put stop to the immediate
cause of the degeneracy.
Mr.. Stewart said that we are told by phrc-
nologists that war originates from the bump
of combativeness. What this organ in its
perverted state tends to bring about. What
it accomplished when guided by conscience,
justice and religion. He then spoke of its
influence upon individuals and upon nations.
War when right is neither hateful in the sight
of God nor disgrace to civilization. War
was the only means of gaining our liberty in
1875, and therefore right. He then reviewed
briefly our last war. He made some remarks
on what we owe TO the memory of our dead,
our duty to their families and to the surviv.
ors of the conflict, and lastly upon the pro.
prety of the keeping of Decoration day.

Since the safety and security Of republic

of her people, the young of this country

Mr.. White spoke of Gods appearance to
Moses with the command to repair to the
Court of Pharaoh and demand the release Of
the people of Israel. Moses reluctance to

was not eloquent The appointment OF
Aaron who could speak well, as his broth
er's spokesman.
In the analysis of the subject, integrity
of heart, was made the first requisite to the
attainment of the highest type of eloquence.
Thought constitutes the framework OF ora
tory; imagination is necessary to give grace
and finish to the structure. Besides the
moral and intellectual qualities of the orator,
the condition of society is intimately con-
nected with the suppression or development
of eloquence in its highest forms. Finally,
that eloquence is the companion of freedom,
the enemy of oppression, the great bu.wark
OF republican liberty.
