Mr.. Phillips said the task imposed
on him seemed needless, as the word
welcome" is too we'll known of the
race they boasted Of and to which they
bslonged-the Welsh He hoped the
intercommuning of his race would
take on more of the social element and
not be so predispossd to confning their
meetings to banquaTs and the like.
The Welsh can challenge any nation
of tho world to produce an equal list of
noted. mon, whose example should be
taught the coming generations.

JUDGE II. NJ. EDWARDS. wELsHMAN
judge II. NJ. Edwards, as toastmas
ter. said he was somewhat Of q fixttr
to be used on affairs like the present oc
cgsion. He hoped such future duties
would fall on younger shoulders. AT
ter remarking that Columbus and Yes
pucius mad robbed the Welsh Of the
honor OF first setting foot on American
soil he facstiously said that nineteen
| twentieths of the signsrs Of the Declar
alton Of Independence were of Welsl
extraction. 1t was pleasant to meet ii
the present and review the past,
The historic facts OF the life of thC
pttron saint Of Wales are few. They
furnish a brief outline only; but myth.
ology has woven around his charaots
its mystic garlands, and the halo tina
surrounds his life becomes moro lumi
nous with the lapse Of time. He wa
not warrior. His record was no
written in blood His arts were thos'
of peace. He was neither king no
emperor; no .wors no crown; bu
he reigned in the hearts o.
his countrymsn. He built n
palaces nor castles, nor towers bu
through his benign influence, tenn
pies to the living God were erected
throughout South Wales. No monu
msnt of stone or marble denotes hi
last resting place, but the centuris
have built for him q monument tha
time can not destroy and which shal
/ endure when time is no more. Th
glory OF his name and fame is tn
glory OF Christian character and
life consecrated to tho elevation Of hi
own people.
BY following the lesson of his lift
we shall be better Welshmen, bette
citizens, and more dearly reverence tn
! American flag, to which we have aworu
allegiance, and its principles Unds
it we and our children shall hope Il
have q bright heritage in the future.
Judge Archibald said he had just re
turned from Wilkes Barre. where h
listened to two lawyers arguing owe
the rights Of buzz-Saw to be opel
ated next house where one OF tn
lawyers was trying to write law boo
on the disposition of estates wher
no will is found. Under thes
circumstances he thought him
self relieved from an inteI
esting speech. He attested his re
gard for the descendants Of st. Davi
