He responded by saying:
 Fellow citizens You have done so much to me since I arrived on this shore that am quite unable to tell what sort of a mIn am
 this morning. Laughter Last evening I asked Mr. Vincent rather brusquely to tell me what Chautauqua means what your
 work here means and he filled me so full of your idea that have not yet assimilated it so as to be quite sure what manner of man am since got hold of it but this I see, you are struggling with one of the two great prob lens of ci@lization. The first one is very 
 ure ?'' We may divide the struggles of the human race into two chapters. First, the
 fight to get leisure and second, what to do with our leisure when we have won 1t. Like all blessings leisure is very bad thing une less it is well used. The man with fortune ready made, and with leisure on his hands, is likely to get sick of the world, sick of him self, tired of life and become wasted, use less man. What shall you do with your Ieis

 therefore, has filled me with thought and, in addition to that you have filled me with gratitude for your kindness and for this great spontaneous meeting in the early morning. earlier than men of leisure usually get up. This greeting on the lake slope toward the sun is very precious to me, and thank you all. This is mixed audience of citizens, and I will not offend the proprieties of the occa- sion by discussing controverted questions or entering upon any political discussion. I look in the faces of men of all shades of opinion; but whatever our party affiliations
 I trust there is in all this audience the love of our benefcent institutions, which make it possible for free labor to earn leisure, and for our institutions to make that leisure worth something. [Ap- plause.l heard yesterday and last night the songs of those who were lately redeemed from slavery, and I felt that there too was one of the great triumphs of the republic thank that choir for the lesson they have taught me here. And now, fellow citizens thanking you all, goodbye [Applause.l
 Three cheers for General Garfield were given, followed by three cheers for the next President. The visiting party then made it's way through the throng to the boat landing
 Here the jubilee singers repeated two or three of the songs that the General had taken the most pleasure in He thanked them, and in tone audible only to those close by, said: 1.-The old prophet said Ethiopia shall stretch her hands to God.' I believe God has stretched out His hand to the children of Ethiopia" There was renewed applause by the thousands upon the shore as the boat moved off At the little landing along the lake applause greeted the party.
