THE SPEECHES.
When full justice had been done the sup |
per Mr.. J. M. Lang, president of the So
ciety, introduced the first speaker of the |
evening Rev. 8. A. Goodwin. D.. D., who |
responded to the toast "The immortal |
memory of St. Andrew" DR.. Goodwin |
spoke in very eloquent and fiowery way |
of Scotias patron saint. He had been en-
shrined as a power in the memory of |
the just He spoke of his leading |
his brother Peter to Christ aud said that |
there was In his life lesson for us all. We |
can all find a few loaves and fishes of
charity which touched by the hand of God
can increase hundredfold. We can search
out among the poor and needy, give them
proper encouragement and make OF them
men shat will extend our influence beyond
time.
The banqueters then arose and sang "God
Save the Queen, ;" when the president intro
6uced the Hon. j. w. Aiken, who responded
90 the toast s'The President of the United
States. As he arose there were calls around
the room for "Grover,n which calls were
received with cheers. Mr.. Aiken humor-
ously referred to the calls, saying that 1t re-
minded him of the fact that for the next
four years everybody would be in clover
MIR. Aiken got the undivided attention Of
the banqueters from the start by telling a
pleasant story, and saying that he had never
spoken to a Presidents and didn't know
when he would, as he was not
a candidate for postmaster. Coming direct
ly to the subject, Mr.. Aiken said that no
matter from what section Of the country a
President came, OF what was his political
prediction, they have all been distin-
guished as patriots. The American heart
swells with pride that not one from Wash
ington to Harrison ever betrayed his trust.
Mr. Aiken said that he was to speak of an
impersonal President, but what heart can
forget the President of the United States in
his hour OF gloom, when the overwhelming
shadow of death has settled over his home.
Regardless of party or section, the heart of
every true American goes out to President
Harrison in his bereavement Though most
Oh US nave not Deen III sympathy with the
administration, no one will say that he
has gone contrary TO his conscience.
He spoke of one who had been President
for one term only-a President who had not
lived in the white house, but in an humble
home-one who was the head Of an armless,
coatless, hRtless, shoeleSs aTmy-one who
though vanquished. lived in the hearts of
every true Observation-Disclosures Davis
When the historian of the country shall
write its true and unprejudiced history. he
will say that from Washington to Harrison
there was no purer man in character, In
political ability and In statesmanship than
Jefferson Davis. But now that we were
one common people, with a common inter
est and destiny. Mr.. Aiken, turning to the
stars and stripes, said that to him it was the
most beautiful banner of all banners on
earth, and remembering the glory of Geor-
gia, one Of the original thirteen, he wished
the stars and stripes to forever float above
his country home He concluded by paw.
ing deserved tribute to Francis Barlow.
The "Stsr Spangled Bannern was beauti-
fully sung by Mr.. F. E. Rebarer. Mr.. Re-
