and if it has lower and a lesser wis
dom than sermon. it has a thousand
times better chance at you. Lying as il
does on every table in almost every
house, you owe it to yourselves to rally
literally to its support. and exact from
it as able, hightoned character as you
do from an educator in your midst. ii

for it is your representative. Indeed. in
its character it is the elimination of the
Importance, interest and welfare of all.
1t is the aggregate of your own conse-
quence, and you cannot ignore it with
out miserably depreciating yourselves.
