As wegxther here we remember that

i'm 1880. We remember how il was in
spired W1fA wisdem and courage to select
tthat great leader OF the people, thai
Moses who led us through the parted
water of the sea, past the wilderness oI
battle, over tho Jordan of safety into ttre
promised laff. In 1884 we were again
driven back into the wilderness. God,
give US wisdom to find another Moses
who can limit our wande7Sngs ia -four
years instead of forty The mighty past
is with us here to-day. Il fills US with
that sound spirit of freedom, patsiiotism
tand devotion which instils into tke COM
mon dust of ordinary humanity the sub.

When Robert Bruce, King Of Scotland,
lay upon his dying bed he reqeested chat
his heart should be taken from his inani-
mate body and be borne by knif.htly
hands to the savionr's sepalchere.
After his death, James, Earl Of Doug
las, undertook the sacred mission, and
with the heart encased in a golden
casket, set out upon his pilgrimage to the
Holy Land. On their way thither, him
self and comrades were set upon by a
great host of Moorish warriors Though
they fought with all the valor OF mortal
man, they were borne backward by sheer
force Of numbers and their overthrow
seemed certain, when Douglas, drawing
from his bosom the priceless .oasket. cast
it far out into the midst of the oncoming
!. host and cried out LEAD on, heart Of
Bruce; we follow thee.D The sknights OF
Scotland were never defeated while fol-
lowing Bruce. They pushed forward and
won the day. Let this Convention find a
! Douglas for our Bruce. He will take the
soul of our great leader into the golden
casket OF his love and with 1t lead us on
to certain and splendid victory.
