TENN ySON As PROPHET
The great events of the world he said
were sometimes fureshadowed by the
poets III their r,les as prophets, and the
prophecy most appropriate TO what was
now passing in the world was involved in
the line of Tennysun, in which he spoke
OF the parliament of man and the fedora
ton of the world. II foreshadowed aud
spoke OF a time when nations would not
seek to be great by destroying each other,
but that mankind would be higher senu-
nIent than man AT the conclusion of the
address Baron Fava proposed the health
of the speaker and also toast TO the
