girls and five boys-or more properly
speaking. perhaps, young women and
young men. They represented Americans,
| Irish, German, French and Hebrews.
Among them were. Catholics, Proiestants,
Hebrews and Unitarians. \ Hebrew was
the first to eulogize christianity and Il
Unitarian paid high tribute to Catholicy
and praised Pope Leo Kill Verify the
world does move. These are circum-
stances over which philosophers might
profit. There was lot to be learned
| from these exercises and the student of
human nature could not find more
fruitful field for study.
Thirty-one essays were delivered, formed
| by thirty one different minds and spoken
| by thirty-One different tongues; all, how
ever, In the same common language that
| today best represents the enlightened
world. BY closely studying these thirty
one essays an idea of the composite OF the
| thirty-one different minds could be gained
| Eighty-six historic characters were men
| toned in these essays and their names are
