was as follows:
| Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
men:-Amid this merrymalling and
festivity let us remember the man
who by years of patient toll and en-
deavor made it possible for one TO
change his downward career and again
take his place and position ia society
where he naturally belongs. It IS bat
mete and proper that his life and
work should be reviewed by the men
dispelling the clouds of darkness and
oftentimes despair and bringing in
their place sunshine and happiness
The names of the mighty captains of
the world have been used to rouse the
tagging energies of armies and so
long as Marathon has place in his
tory that long will the name of Mil
tiades be name to stir the blood of
patriots and fire the ardor of men.
The names of the great are revered
and honored and when men forget to
honor their illustrious living and dead
then society begins it's downward ca

in the darkness of anarchy and ruin.
Amid the noblest of land men lay
the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honored place
with costly marble drest,
In that great Minister transcript where
lights like glorieS fall.
And the choir sings and the organ
rings along the emblazoned
wall"
We point with pride to our mighty
dead and too often the mead of honor
and fame which should have been
theirs in life is withheld till death has
claimed them for his own and then in
the darkness caused by their dsap.
pearance their virtues and heroic dual.
tiles remain to illumine the path OF
men.
Every nation has its hero of heroes
France its Napoleon, Germany its
Frederick the Great, England its Wei
lington and America its Washington
and Lincoln. Theirs were the laurel,
of the warrior and statesman. In tn,
religious world St. Paul, the grandest
religious character of ancient or mod
crn times; st. Augustin, Martin Luth
or, Calvin, Knox, Wesley and Wycliff,
are dear to the heart as leaders of the
great religious movements. Peace IL
their ashes and honor to their names
Tonight | come to speak for maI
who, like David of old, armed with the

of man. He went forth singlehande,
and alone to do battle with King Al
