Mr.. sCHUMAKER's GRAFTON.
Mr.. Schumacher we'll depicted the char.
acter of the imperious, lion hearted, short
siuhted, but brave and fearless Richard.
"It was fortunate for Richard that Ro
nance should catch him up 30 quickly
and that Shakespeare painted him in higl
colors.
'There are many scenes and many act
ors in the great drama of civilization
'one sows and another reaps,' said the di
vine teacher with tho wisdom of prophe
cy; the warrior struggles, the Statesman
reflects, the great mass of life moves on
but each in his sphere may perform last
ing service to the world. Even 30 We may
be sure that Richards eccentric career
seemingly vain pursuit of a will-o'the
wisp, was helpful to hasten onward tn
grand age of broader humanity and deeper
| unity of life and truth and hope"
The first of the DeForest speakers wal
Thornwell Mutually of Pendleton, S. G..
and his subject ''Lowell's Service to Hi
Country" He said in part:
Contemporary critics often refuse al
author the glory which after years bestov
upon him, and no less often confdentl,
prophesy continued life to writer's who's
works die with them. AS painting to
near cannot be appreciated, so some dis
lance in time is necessary to bring on
fully the beauties as we'll as the defects 9
the writer's words. Like unresentful ns
ture, whose flowers grow alike over tn
dead of both sides, 'proclaiming the true
of God,' Lowell wreathes common ga
land for the bravery of both north an
south. And here Ills the secret G
his power. Behind them is stron
personality. In his books he has le

achieved. He was not content to Will
away his days with sweet Lydian airs, II
spired by contested love. He must de

felt an irresistible call to high mission
The puritan In him sent him about in (

with good things for humanity that

a country parson he was a singer ia order

y the poem often left little room for poetr,
r The moral weight he felt hindered b

ID ever, only made him poet of his time, ,
~ his country, for mankind"
i James D. Stevens Darcy of Springfield
Mass, ably spoke upon the "Disestablisl
ment of the Church in Wales"
William James Hutchins of Los Angelo
Cal, spoke upon ''The Reaction of Ind
Upon England" His address was a fiji
t effort and showed we'll in its scope and IL
manner of its treatment for The speaker.

liam Lloyd Kitchell of this city. His top

He said in part:

beyond question superior to anyone b

A DELAYED vALEDIcToRY.
When President Dwight announced tn
