his greatest opponents were the established
church, the London press and the educated
classes
Mr.. Shipper reviewed briefly the acts of John
Bright as Il member of the Liberal party, of his
warfare against the rotten borough system, his
championship of the acknowledgements OF
the people by education and extension
of the franchise, his constant fight for the
masses against the privileged classes, and his
work for the development and protection OF
English liberties. He was always active and ag-
gressive, taking an interest in Irish questions
and warning against the tory element in English
politics. OF his course during the civil war Mr..
Shipper spoke at length, concluding with ''God
be thanked that our country had such true
and noble friend in the hour of her peril; that
our union was preserved and slavery annihi-
lated; that we have firmly established an indie
structible union of indestructible states"
"The life and services of Mr.. Bright were de-
voted with all the zeal and earnestness OF an
ardent nature TO the elevation and enfranchise-
msnt of his fellow men. His life seems in
spired by the Quaker doctrine of the inner
light, which, recognizing the dignity OF human
nature protesting against narrow degmatism,
sectarianism and churehism, teaches Christian
liberality, equality and brotherhood How
had an opportunity OF welcoming Mr.. Bright
to our shores. Words nor deeds could have
adequately expressed our gratitude for his sym
patty and services. They will never be duly
recognized in his own land but it is gratifying
to know that among the recollections Mr.. Bright
had of his own career he looked upon his ser
vices to our OWE American cause with the great
est pride of all, even among the browning acts
OF his life >"
