welcome to the c. W B. II. The addres:
was listened to with the utmost silence and
interest.
In the absence of the lady appointed to re-

chosen words responded to the address.

MR. POWERS SPEECH.
| There are three happy circumstances con
nected with this matter of the Garfield Uni
versity-its name, its location, and the cir
cumstances of its management.
! At on early day it was decided that the
great region beyond the Mississippi to the
| Pacific coast was useless, but now it is popu-
| lated and throbbing with pulsatiOnS of life
and activity.
/ In the last ten years population as great
as what we had before has been added. Yet
not in population alone has the nation in
| creased but in wealth and material interests
of every sort.
| The west is today an infant In the future
| it shall be giant in each of whose limbs lies
| the strength of empires.
! In the centre of the state-a state with a
million and half Of population at state OF
prohibition, where prohibition prohibits.
| [Cheers.l
| And then names are potent things. Only
| a few years ago and the name of Garfield
| was in every land spoken upon every tongue.
| How fitting, therefore, after SO many hal
lowed memories have crystalized around
| this name, that an institution SO great should
| be named after man SO great and good.
Education is the great work OF the age.
| How grand that we have an example of the
! diligence and progress of one who grew from
| the poor boy up into the great, grand presi-
dent of the United States.
| The speaker then proceeded to show that
education costs more than formally. They
purpose of Christian people to bring college
education within the reach of the poorest
boy. Cheers.)
| Thus with many happy and forciable hits,
and illustrations from the life and work of
Garfield, he proceeded for thirty minutes to
| hold his audience without intermisSion, ex-
cept from frequent cheers.
| The speaker concluded by saying that he
| thought it most happy circumstance that
this institution should be called by such a
name, and that we needed and must have
not a skeptical but Christian school, The
universe is the realized thought of God.
| Education should embrace such breadth and
depth of culture as to lead our boys and
girls up to embrace such grand thoughts and
to embrace personal God and personal
Savior. God grant that you may here open
up fount that the thirsty travellers who
come pressing in upon you may satisfy their
| thirst for knowledge, for God and His
Christ.
