AT the conclusion of this part of the
prorro p,,oo pox, nr w u uato|,ar IF
Richmond, was introduced as the orator
Of the evening. The theme of his address
was Conviction, which he defined as a
union of mind and truth. For such an
occasion it was the most appropriate
address to which we have ever listened.
Clear, forcible, logical, and dashed here
and there with q keen irony and lively
wit; illumed with beautiful illustrations,
and impressed with a vigor of language
rarely employed by public speakers, it
could not fail to stir the understanding of
the entire audience and lodge in the
minds of the boys, to whom it was specially
addressed, valuable and important lesson
for life s guidance. We regret that we
cannot publish the address in full. No
mere synopsis could do it justice.
On the Thursday evening preceding,
Mr.. and Mrs. Kable gave the boys and
their invited guests a sociable at the
school. There was not so much formality
about it as genuine enjoyment, and the
pupils and young people of the city will
long remember it as one of the pleasantest
of evenings.
