Rev. DIR. Dalton spoke for the Episc )pa-
lians in his usual pleasing manner. He said
Dean Stanley returning from visit to this
country remarked that nothing impressed
him so much as the celebration at Salem,
where he was in the presence of great COM
pany of men and wemen, descendants of the
founders of greater empire than the empire
OF Rome. DR.. Dalton claimed that much
honor was also due the Puritans.
Rev. j. G. Merrill, d. D., said he was al
most persuaded to be such an Episcopalian
when he listened to DIR. Dalton, and he hoped
the day was not for distant when there woul
be unison of the beliefs. He thought we
could hardly sympathize with the Pilgrims
were they living today; but, If so, they
would probably adopt our habits and our
religious views. The light of the 10Th
century is different from that of the 18th.
He thought the hardships endured by the
Iowa band were worthy of as great admira-
ton as those of the forefathers.
Rev. Dwight M. Pratt said the text that
came to him was that these men had the
spirit of might in them because they had the

Rev. E. F. Daniels of Bath said he was

him be given for his excellent address.

THE PILGRIM PATH.

Gods servant In the olden day
Went out. not knowing where he went
Assured his Father all The way
Would be his guide. his hope aud stay,
So followed Him, and was content.
His faith obtained the sure reward,
His wandering found the promised rest,
He was the chosen friend of God,
The far-of follower of our Lord,
Aud in His seed the earth is blessed.
With faith like his pilgrim band,
Led by Jehovah, crossed the sea,
Hallowed by prayer the cold. bleak strand,
Claimed In His name the new-fOund land,
Cradle of truth and liberty.
In darkest night their faith shone clear
Faith braved the terrOrS of the sea,
Met savage foe and tempest drear,
Faced even death without fear,
Faith gtasped the millions yet to be.
Their faith prevailed; thew brought to God
A new world for their Offering
They gave 10 us this sacred sod,
This new dominion of our Lord,
Free church, and state without king.
Grant US, like them, to walk life's way,
With them to enter Into rest:
Their steadfast love for truth display,
Their holy Zeal and faith Away,
And in our lives the earth be blessed.
