Voc LAANfiNAN introduced
by pr. Hogc. md before entering upon
his theme proper said that a sufficient
induccment 10 accept the invitation that
mad been extended 10 him to speak on
this occasion was the affection he had so
long had for Dr. Hcge; but in addition TO
that he was influenced by another con-
sidcration-that was. that having made
his preparations TO 20 abroad II would
not be his privilege 10 attend the anniver-
sary by which the nftieth year OF DR..
Hoge's pastoraie would be commemoratcd.
II he could be present TO participate in
the services Of that occasion he would
esteem it as both a great honor and a
great pleasure
Or. Curry spoke most fcelingly OF the
high regard in which Dr. Hoge was held
by the Church and the people Of the city,
the state, and the country. There was,
he said. no way in war or peace I'm which
Or. Hoge IN the sphere he occupied had
not done his best In serving his country.
lie prayed that he might be long spared
TO pursue his useful career.
DR.. Curry then proceeded In n mastery
manner to discuss the question Of religious
liberty abroad and point out the evils
OF the union OF Church ana State. The
address showed n careful study OF the
religious conditions existing in England.
Russia, Italy. Spain. ana other countries,
and a a deep impression.
