too much to say that men OF reputaulon dS
thinkers frequently present no better pro-
ductions. In clearness and completeness it
was not wanting. He said, in the records
of time we find some influence controlling
events Of great moment. 1t Is law,
| an innate requirement inherited from
God himself, that nothing can ex-
| ist without a controlling power,
great luminary, as it we're, around which
lesser lights can gather and dispense their
benefits. This law holds true in every
particular. We are Americans and be-
lieve in being controlled by the inhunce OF
our name. We intend to have American
customs and patriotism. America sepa-
rates religion from the state and in its
mighty influence lies the broad basis Of
hope To those who study the actual and
prospective condition of the United States
our political system is also principal con-
scrvative influence. The various improve
ments in the arts and science add
peculiarly to our iustre ana
strength. Dwelling to some extent on
the rapid progress being made by the
American people and repeating the advice
of Washington to the present generation,
Mr.. Eberman said: Great father OF your
country, we heed your words. We will
not, we can not, dare not betray your
trust. He closed with the following quo
tation "The bow that gilds the clouds in
the heavens, the pillars that uphold the
armament may disappear and fall away in
the hour appointed by the viii! of God
but until that day comes, or SO long as
our lives may last, no ruthless hand shall
undermine that bright arch of union and
liberty which spans the county from
Washington to California"
"Miss Anna V. PEBBLES sang a vocal
solo from Bellini's ''La Sonnambula."
Miss PEBBLES is gifted with a sweet voice,
we'll cultivated and adapted to Operatic
singing.
Miss Clara Il. Walker, the smallest
member of the class, delivered ali
Grafton on 81 Dare" The delivery
was exceedingly good, the voice being
loud and clear mellowed by a certain soft
ness of tone, the pronunciation distinct,
and she had complete command ofhcrself.
What power, she argued, lies in the two
simple words, IL Dare spoken as they
may be, with good or evil intent. Coming
in careless badinagc from the lips of the
thoughtlcss, they may spread abroad an
evil effect. But. fringht with the high
moral courage o: him who uttcrs them,
swelling out with his pure, firm princi-
pies, they leave him for a noble purpose,
to bring 4 bcnison of success, or, if failure
not entire loss, for
Though the field be lost,

1t is to the strong minds and brave hearts
that we Us Il nation owe our happiness. In
: every circle we find too much acting from
impure motives. This is confined not
only to the weak. 1t is found among mel
