Cause of Rejoicing.
ut is right, therefore. that this occasion
should wear the spleIdors of jubilee. It
is worthy of the flags and music and the
general joy by which it is Frightened ard
graced. There IS good reason for the gath
ering of this happy host. We rejoice at
once over victory and prophecy Those
upon whom has lain the burden of prepara-
ton for this event may look back with
pardonable pride to the day when a little
band of patriotic citizens resolved that
Atlanta should have the greatest exposition,
save one, this hemisphere has seen. 1t has
been no easy task to reach the height we
hold today. There have been times when
difficulties thickly beset us, when progress
very far off but not once did our faith fail
or our purpose waver. Helping ourselves
to the very best of our capacity we found
others willing and mighty to aid us. Best
of all kind Providence has diSpelled the
gloom that lay over the whole land when
we put our hands to this task The work
begun beneath the frown Of adverse for
lures has reached its completion under the
smile OF heaven upon our common coun-
try. Everywhere plenteous harvests reyiy-
ing commerce, restored confidence indus
trial activity. capital busy In new enter
prises. labor abundantly employed and
the country welded together in the bonds
of common interest and the ardor of a
broad patriotism. Surely we have a pro-
p.tious hour for the beginning of this great
triumph OF peace to which we have invited
all mankind"
