clearly showed the contest and con-
t1lct between the lower and higher

very tine effort. His speech was
we'll taken. He showed that Demo

the United States and says that in
all times all forms of government
are going toward Democracy.
james F. Shinn on ga Glimspe
into the Twentieth" spoke very sor-
chilly on the results of the 10Th CEN
tury and the promises of the goth.
he spoke of the great international
feeling shown at the Naval Review
at Hampton Roads and New York,
and showed that wealth and science
are rapidly revolutionizirE the
world. He thinks that the wonder
ful achievements of the past cen

ment in the tw ct,eth, that there is
no conflict between the Bible and
science. His speech way very
pleasantly taken, and was a very
original production.

Waving OF the Bloody Shirt" gave
the audience a beautiful speech.
