Hon. R. T. Barton in his able ad-
dress said:
Here on this spot you are building
not only beautiful and useful home
for yourselves, but you are erecting a
monument to your generous benefac-
tor, which marks a conspicuous and
most unusual liberality, regulated by
the highest degree of common sense !;
generosity almost unparalleled
both in its manner and matter and in
which not even the most carping
critic can find an element of selfish
ness.
Here ON solid foundation of stone
aud cement you lay the corner stone
of what is the architectural centre of
this beautiful structure. And here
on foundation quite as solid you are
basing the lasting fame of one who
tho far away, is ever mindful OF the
affectio nate ties which bind all but
selfish and sordid hearts to the physi-
cal scenes and associations of birth
and carly struggles.
AS these smooth and polished walls
90 up, YOU can but pray that the
Years of life which remain to him may
be as solid and as lasting as is the
structure which grows day by day
under the master touch of your skill
led workmen.
When on this round tower, only now
Just rising from the ground, your
lofty spire shall have been built and
stretching heavenward its high and
graceful top, it will tell him and us
day by day, that when we are done
with these earthly things, with muta-
tions of fortune and misfortune here,

Now in loose gnrlands thick thrown of, the

Impurpled with celestial roses smiled.
Then, crowned again, their golden harps they

The Hindoo's Search For Truth.

All the world over wonder, in lands that
never have trod,
Are the people eternally seeking for the signs
and steps of god?
Westward across tho ocean, and northward
ayont the snow,
Do they all stand gazing as ever, and what do
the wisest know?
Here in this mystical India the deities hover
and swarm
Like. the wild bees heard in the tree tops or
the gusts OF gathering storm.
In the air men hear their voices, their feet on
the rocks are seen,
Yet we all say, whence is the message, and
what may the wonders meanp"
A million shrines stand open, and ever the
censer swings
AS they bow to the mystical symbols or the
figures Of ancient kings,
And the incense rises ever, and rises the end
less cry
OF those who are heavy laden and Of towards
loath to die.
For the destiny drives US together, like deer
in a pass of the hills,
Above us the sky and around US the sound of
the shot that kills.
Pushed by power that we see not and struck
by hand unknown,
We pray to the trees for shelter and press our
lips to a stone.
Here are the tombs of my kinsfolk, the first Of
an ancient name,
Chiefs who were slain on the war field and
women who died in flame.
They are gods, these kings of the foretime
they spirits who guide our race.
Ever l watch and worship. They sit with a
marble face.
And the myriad idols around u.s. and the
legion of muttering priests,
The rcvels and riots unholy, the dark, un-
speakable feasts-
What have they wrung from the silence? Hath
even whisper come
OF the secret-whence and whittier? Alas, the
gods are dumb.
Shall list to the words Of the English, who
come from the uttermost sea2
"The secret, hath it been told you, and what
is your message to me?"
It is naught but the worldwide story how
the earth and the heavens began,
How the gods are glad and angry. and a deity

the rulers of India dwell,
Whose orders flash from the far land, who gir-
die the earth with spell,
They have fathomed the depths we float on or
measured the unknown main"
Sadly they turn from the venture and say that
the quest is vain.
Is life, then, a dream and delusion, and where
shall the dreamer awake?
Is the world seen like shadows on water, and
what.if the mirror break?
Shall it pass as a camp that is struck, as tent
that is gathered and gone
From the sands that were lamplit at eve and
at morning are level and lone?
Is there naught in the heavens above whence
the hail and levin are hurled
But the wind that is swept around US by the
rush of the rolling world
The wind that shall scatter my ashes and bear
me to silence and sleep,

and voices of women who weep2
