HENRY CABOT LODGE ON THE DAY.
The whole company then arose at the invita-

toast The President Of the United States
The next sentiment The Day We Celebrate
was appropriately responded TO by Henry CABOT
Lodge in the following fehcitous speech:
There Is one toast, Mr.. President, 10 which no son

among their other virtues did not number that of

Characteristic Of New England to cherish freedom OF
