this shot with humorous story illustrating the
futility OF studied preparation for addresses on
occasions like the present., MIR. Thompson made
brief and suggestive speech. He was in favor Of
this association as means OF reviving the old
professional spirit. This mercenary age is crowd
ing out the spirit which gave the bar power in the
| olden time. He regarded the bar as bulwark
for the people and justice, and an able bar a
greater defense than an able Judiciary These
meetings will do much to elevate the profession
and interest others who have not yet come in to
them. In after years these scenes will give great
enjoyment as well as instruction. Taken up
with the business rush and hustle, we do not APP
preciate the enjoyments we may have. We need
these meetings to break up the routine OF life
