is story that it is granted to none to
see its conclusion, and few indeed are
there who rightly read its past. Its be-
ginning was when the morning stars
sang together over the order that was
created out of chaos, and the plot, with
its threads of light and shade, sublime
courage and pitiful cowardice, hate and
love, JOY and fear, no man can compre-
bend and no man can alter. He may
delay the eonsummation OF the Divine
plan, but there is all eternity for It's
completion.
The year of our Lord 1891 has wit
messed marvels in the arts and sciences.
The depths of the earth and the heights
of the clouds have been called upon to
yield their secrets, and the whole realm
of space is now virtually the kingdom
Of the mind. In a year the world has
made giant strides toward the perfec-
ton of civilization, and every one of the
last fifty years has witnessed discoveries
and inventions that have put to shame
those of as'many centuries, until, paus-
ing in amazement on the threshold of
the future, we are forced to exclaim:
what wilt thou bring forth, oh, mex
plicable void! The browning of mans
dreams or the end of material great
ness? The summit of perfection or the
return of formless chaos?'
Great as has been the progress of the
world, the high water mark has only
been reached in certain favored spaces,
and vast continents are still reserved
for the maturing of Gods purposes.
To our nation it has been a year
whose bounteousness and peace have
been unparalleled in the history of any
country. The seasons have poured
from their laps thsia.-sy-- --tr7rrrs--
ures, and north, south, east and west
rejoice in abundance. The faces of ma
ture and the elements have been pro-
pitious. and the smile of Provi-
dence seems to rest in benediction upon
the land. In the social world too, the
fruitage has been abundant. Never be-
fore in the history of our country has
so much good been done by earnest in
dividuals and society for the reclama-
ton of evil, the reform of abuses, and
the amelioration Of the condition of the
deserving poor The harvest of good
deeds in that has been great in spite of
the fact there are still fallow fields, and

have fraternal sympathy for the fam
ishing peasants whose cry goes up from
the banks of the Volga, and from the
slopes Of the Ural mountains; for the
exiled race. whose wandering through
the wilderness of prejudice and inius-
tice is as cruel as their forty years pro-
bation in the desert: for the poverty-op-
nressed masses Of our kindred nation.
whose mother tongue is ours, and with
whom we claim a common ancestry, and
for those nations who sit in darkness,

light, but longing for perfect day.
