but we have with one this afternoon who
needs no words from his lips to tell us where
his sympathies are in this great movement of
the Young Mems Christian Association. His

louder than any word he can say on
this occasion. Therefore it is meet, think
that shall simply ask our friend and Christian
brother to rise and pay his respects to this
audience. feeling that, in the peculiar situa-
tion in which he is placed, his speaking here
ed such on important occasion might be mis-
construed. 1 believe he is the last man in the
world to use any such occasion for capital.
