This is a most inspiring sight to which
your committee has invited me. Such
an organization :. as you are displaying,
animated by such purposes. is an meal
culable force for good, not merely in the
thousands of individual communities
which are here represented, but in this
metropolis honOred by your presence.
Our fathers, who laid the foundation
of the civil and religious liberty
we enjoy, were men who planted
their Notifications on every hillside as
they advanced to the conquest of the
continent. You all know what those
Notifications were-the school house and
tine church. Applause.l Let us guard
them as our fathers guarded them, and
we shall preserve the fair heritage we
have received and transmit it in our
turn, grand and beneficent beyond their
thought or ours, to the latest gener-
alton of men," Loud applause.]
