The Well-Known Clergyman Delivers an
Instructive Address to Goldey College
Students.
Nearly 200 young men and women who
have determined to be independent
through the remainder of their lives and
make their own fortunes and happiness,
filed into the lecture hall of Goidey vii
mington Commercial College this morn
ing to hear an address by Rev. w l. S.
Murray, Phi. d Of Dover, on "The Mer-
chant of Venice" The eminent lecturer
was in excellent voice and spirits and
his audience vas deeply interested from
beginning to end. DR.. Murray said, in
part:
Venice has her streets and thorough
fares in the forms of canals and traffic
is carried on in boats and on RATS
rather than in carriages and by
electricity. The Merchant of Venice"
is described as having such ships and
such barges that even Cleopatra's barge
with its exterior of scarlet and of
gold, did not excel them And Antonio,
the merchant of Venice, sent forth
his commerce upon the sea
in a hundred of such ships as used in
those days / do not know of anything
that is better calculated to de velop well.

soliciting subscriptions for churches
while in this city frequently had to call
on merchants and they told me that they
could not contribute partially to any de-
nomination as they had to be broad
minded in contributing, generally, TO the
churches of the entire city, to whose con
gregation they sold goods
Antonio, the merchant of Venice, was
rich. But to be rich was not his highest
ambition. He had higher aspirations
than his chances Of commerce. He was
a Christian. There are many merchants
who are Christie ord Merchants who
are high toned aaAOng the Jews.
I There came a time when Antonio be

merchant had prejudice against the Jew

ful in this line You must allow nothing
but good feeling between yourselves and
, other business people Reciprocal rela
tions with all merchants are necessary to
success, But, along the line of going

S you must exercise the greatest care and

The second prince came and chose tn

in 'He who chooses this receives what b.
