Dr. Abbott also spoke I'm the highest
/ praise % thu intellectual side Of Henry
| George. He said Of Mr. Georges mastery
/ Of the English language. His ability to
I put things IN the most forcibIe possible
| way. and his genius for arousing enlhusl-
aEm would have placed MIN In almost any
| position In public life II he had been con-
| tent TO be merely q politician. BUT he
was not q sslf-seeking man
| In fact. the speaker said. he had never
met man who gave so little thought
to the effect upon himself and his own
fortunes. Of his public utterances as Mr.
George. He Was a man OF unfiinching
courage and be had an unquestloning
faith that there Is good God who de-
signs not His children TO live in degrade
ton and Indebtedness. To do something
10 ltft Gods children TO a better plane
had been the object Of Henry Georges

Rabbi GottheIi spoke next. saying:

''Tlfe means confsct. and conflict means

clouds our vision. IL drags the bravest
and the best into the tumult OF the COM

hour they would keep far from them
"Bu, when the smoke OF the battlefield

| After another hymn BIZ the choir Rev.
| DT. Edward McGiynn spoke. Prior to his
address the vast assemhlage had prsserv-
| ed a chureh-lke quiet. but the ringing
| words Of Or McGlynn soon evoked an out
burst OF applause. which could no. be re-
| pressed. DIR. McGiynn spoke with great
| feeling. but hts evident grief az the loss Of
| his old friend did not prevent the display
| 81 some characteristic flights Of eloquence
| by him. DR. McGlyun said;
