control personal action and the acquisitions
of its members, takes away all incentive To
the personal development and thus renders
the best well being of society impo, siblc. The
true Communism levels upward, the false
levels downward. Mr.. Colby's example of
wealth gained and administered for the gen.
eral welfare makes such theory practical
CD 4 correct Interpretation of poreify Of
Christ is gained from this conception of the
true life of man. 1t was observed that
Christ is imitable not in acts but in the spirit
of his life, not in form but in principle
Studying the example of our Lord, guided by
this rule. we find that he rcnounced the ac-
cumulaton of wealth because it was not the
tulfllment of His special mission, but that he
endorsed the accumulation of it since he re-
cei,ed from others who possessed it the use
OF it SO far as it was required 10 enable Him
to do His work. 1t follows then that if any
mans work requires the possession as well
as the use of property, there is nothing in
Christ's example to forbid it. That the ac-
cumulation of property is essential to the
work of the world, is one of the planest
principles of political economy. Labor " ith-
out capital is almost poweress. Civilization
is impossible without it. Commerce. art,
literature, science and religion rest upon it
as an Indispensable basis. The man who by
industry, torcthought and sclt-dcnial accumu-
latcs wealth is public bcncfactor. TO be
poor i'll sense of having nothing is AN easy
thing, to be voluntarily poor in the midst of
riches is a difficult, divine thing. (3) This
conception of life insurcs eoasfoncy Of ser
rice. One Of Mr.. Colby's most remarkable
characteristics was the persistency of his de-
votion to any cause which he had cspoused.
Other men would give time and money on
occasions, but were careful not to take up
public institutions as personal burdens, but
he took them into his heart and cherished
them as a man cherishes his children. a.
Such conception of life insures J,'eadM of
sympathy in service. The scope and amount
of Mr.. Colby's bequests were cited as illus
trations of this fact. Abiding to Mr. Col
bys liberal patronage to educational interests
President Robins took occasion to urge the
endowment by men of wealth, of well con-
Quoted, solidy rooted educational insttu-
tions, citing the opinion of Sir Henry Maine
that there is no surer, no easier, no cheaper
road to Immortality, such as can be obtained
in the world, than that which lies through
liberality expending itself in educational en-
dowments."
The discourse was followed by an address
to the graduating class. in which impressive
reference was made TO the dccease early in
the year of one Of the most promising of their
members, and the general lesson of the dis
course urged upon their attention.

A Word OF Good Bye.
Monday, July 81, 1879.


With the present number of the Kenne-
bee Journal, the subscribers, junior part
ners, cease their connection with the paper.
While this announcement may surprise many
of our friends, it is step we have contem-
plated for the past year; for the wear and
tear of long continued service admonish us
that we owe something To ourselves-that a
slight interruption OF daily cares at this time
may be real estate and capital to us in the
years to come
Mr.. Owen has been connected with the
journal Office, in one capacity or another,
for the past twenty-five years, nearly cover
ing period usually reckoned in an average
lifetime. Mr.. Nash came into the estab-
lishmcnt in May, 1868, and the next Janua-
ry the firm of Sprague, Owen x Nash was
formed, which has continued in business to
the present time. The most pleasant busi-
ness relations have existed between the diff
icrcnt members of the firm since the day the
partnership began.
We have sold our interests to our former
associate, Mr.. Alden Sprague, who will con
tinue TO condrct the paper rs one of the lead
ing and influential opponents of the republi-
can cause, II cause in which the retiring mem
bcrs Of the old firm will always have an ac-
tive interest. and we earnestly desire and ask
for Mr.. Sprague the liberal support of the
public generally and Of the republican party
in particular.
TO sever in one day connection which
has grown up with quarter century, is no
easy task. What the journal has been and
what it is, will forever remain enshrined in
memory. May it be blessed and prospered
under the new administration in the future,
as in the past.
And now to our widely scattered brethren
of the Press, our co-laborcrs everyw here, with
whom we have formed a friendship which
we trust will continue through life to the
business men with whom We have had deal
ings to our political and other friends who
have been found ever true and steadfast; to
the hands in the Office who have been patient,
faithful and dligcnt in their tasks; to our
thoughtful and ever constant patrons, and-as
this is time when tender feelings may be
cxcusablc-even to our political opponents
we desire to extend grateful thanks for
courtesics received and will cherish only the
thoughts and acts that reflect the better ma
ture, and Danish all others.
SO to the readers of the journal we make
our parting bow, and withdraw from the
homes we have daily and weekly visited, re-
ceiving a welcome doubtless far above what
we deserved.
