for ages, there ts need OF men OF
brains, of conscience and moral |
power, to stand, as did Daniel, . re-
proof to evil in high places and an
inspiration to all that is noble and
true. He who like this prince of |
Babylon clothes himself with those |
cardinal virtues Of divinity shall
build for himself name a. enduring
~ the everlasting hills and set in |
motion influences for good that shall
bless humanity while time lasts and
whose inspiring thrill shall be felt
ON the shores of an endless eternity.
The most enduring monument shall
moulder into dust, and time with its
ever active elements obliterate all
impress from its crumbling ruins.
The earth may pass away in mighty
coufagration or silently return to
chaos from whence it sprung. The
stars may cease to keep their silent
vigils and the moon to reflect the
light Of the radiant sun, but the i'm
press of o truly noble character is
stamped upon the immortal tables
of the soul and shall therefore be as
enduring as God himself"
