more than third OF century has been identi

gratihcatlon over your elevation to the Chief
Magistry OF the nation is to-day overshadowed
by the necessity of separation and espec;alIy a
sense of the services and solemn Responsibilities
that are TO be laid upon you--responsibilities
which no man on earth Is qualified to meet. in

no small degree will it be given to
influence for veal or for woe the inter.

remember that you are called not only to be an
example for but a leader of the people of this
land. The eternal God is the same yesterday
TODAY and forever. May you hear His voice
speaking unto you those very words he spake
unto the law-giver of Israel, girding you for
coming tasks, guarding you from threatening
perlls, and enabling you to lead thisgreGt Amer
ican nation forward to higher conditions OF
freedom and righteousness We know that yoII
have set before you as the pole-star of your pub

glad in the belief that the righteous hopes in
