upon returning after long Absence first
sauted AIS country before addressing MS
frienos his psople or MS family. There
seems 10 he sort of emulation OF this pious
act III the eloquent words OF your president
Tonight. III would show lack OF human
seCsi5iHty TO be unmoved by these
events and would he unworthy
OF the office for which l speak to appro
PIRATE any OF them as persona! tribute. But
''as one dressed in little brief authority,
l e'toem it great privilege which permits
me to accept, on behalf of the State of Yer
mont, the cordial words of your president
and in the name OF Vermont to answe
them by extending her hearty conSratula-
lions to you, her loyei children.
Therets a certain Inspiration to all OF us il
such family gathering as this, which con
stltutes one OF the OCCASIONS when we lool
through The galleries where the portraits o
our ancestors hang and rejoice together a
we recount their deeds and giorify the com
monwea!th OF which we all are In som
measure part.
