success; and pillar on which rests
our liberties and the right.
Comely in form, because your
conquests are fair and just-yes,
and everlasting. Thou hast
brought light out of darkness;
life out of decay; Joy out of sad
ness; intelligence from the tomb
of ignorance; and made man,
noble-as a race, from a mere
animal little above beasts of the
forest; and still thy life work is
in its infancy. That tyranny is
abroad is true, and greed and
dishonor and crime; and at times
it is little wonder that when such
results come upon US like clouds,
poor, frail humanity stumbles
and fears and doubts and falls.
But hope for the good and
bravery to act will remove it all.
There are times in life of man
and in the existence of nations,
that wrong has SO overcome
prosperity that dense darkness
seemed to be a barrier to all be-
fore--sunshine comes from the
midst of such clouds and its rays
are more radiant and far sweeter
for the reason of their past abb
sence. In the nature of things
oppression seem necessarily to
exist to rouse humanity to its
noblest deeds. They are but the
travail pains at the birth of bet
ter days, of better deeds.
Humanity is aggrandized by
them. And those who reflect
and deliberately look to result
ing consequences, should be
cheered in their efforts instead
of being downcast over our land.
1t will only raise us to higher
ground than that on which be-
fore we had our stand. It has
ever been so throughout the
world and, particularly, in our
nation. And let US say to our
friends in the ranks of the people,
the rule is infallible. 1t was
tyranny that drove our forefath-
ers from the East to establish a
better government in the West.
1t was dark clouds of oppression
and unjust taxation that aroused
the patriots of the Revolution to
humble Old England at their
feet, and on the wreck England S
attempted fabric of grasping
greed and power, to establish
the highest plan of justice and
freedom known to history or to
man. The march has been for.
