We even wonder If the old Mo-

not be pulverized at last, with the
abrasion of all the alluvial soil in
which the growths of wonder strike
their rO,ts will the garden of Eden,
will the blighted figtree remain to
mark verdant spot in history.
Choose any artist you know and
ask him to give you his idea of the
genius of the hypocrite, and my
word for it he paints you lawyer.
There is no mercy in this; the law
yer is good; but it is this same cry
for Barabas that has been sound

Oration-"The Bar of History
by w. Harry Plttenger.
Open before US lies the great book
of Time. Upon its pages are to be
found recorded, the great aud sol
emn verdicts rendered at the Bar
of History.
From the lofty pinnacle of TWEEN
ty centuries of time we can view
the progress Of civilization and hece
the triumphant march of Truth.
As we review the past we learn
that the great judge of all earthly
acts is History. At is bar all must
stand. Here it is that the great
principles for which the martyrs OF
all ages have died have been attest
ell right. How nobly has the cause
for which Ridley, Latimer and
Cramner labored been vindicated
mt the Bar of History! But the
pages of History are still filled with
unredressed wrongs, inflicted by
man upon man. And as we behold
the triumphs of injustice, the sue
cess of fraud, must we not raise our
eyes above the courts of earth
Can we doubt that all these griev-
ances shall have a final hearing ?
No it is not at the Bar ContempO-
rsries but at the Bar of History,
that we shall receive the final de-
cree!
Thus as we review the records OF
the past can we not find precepts to
guide us to-day? In the dawning
o. another century the torch of Lib.
erty should grow brighter and
brighter until it
Watts this truth Ger every wave,
Man meier was born TO be a slave.
TIE heirs of an immortal mind
For equal freedom were designed"
gut the goal of History has not
vet been reached. Before US rise,
sugr;m monsters of n ormanism
