soeiation and to the condition under which this assemblage has met. The conferences and systematic efforts of such body of men as this are capabl 6 of infinite good to the respective com munities in which the members live and to the nation at large.
 The country is now emerging from trying conditions. It is only just be- ginning to recover from the depression in certain lines of business long contin- ued and altogether unparalleled. Pro- gress therefore, will naturally be slow, but let us not be impatient. Rather let us exercise a just patience and one which in time will surely bring it's own high reward. I have no fear for the future of our beloved country. While I discern in its present condition the necessity that always exists for the faithful devotion of it's citizens the history of it's past is assurance to me that this will be as it always has been true to every struggle and emergency, still onward and upward. It has never suffered from any trial or been unequal to any test. Founded upon right prin- ciples we have nothing to fear from the vicissitudes which may lie across our pathway.
 The nation founded by the fathers upon principles of virtue, education, freedom and human rights, molded by the great discussions which established it's sovereignty, tried in the crucible of civil war, it's integrity, confirmed by the results of reconstruction, with a union stronger and better than ever bt- fore. stands to-day not upon shifting sands, but upon immovable founda-
 tions. Let us resolve by our laws and by our administration of them to main tain the rights of the citizens, to cement the union by still closer bonds. to eX- alt the standards of American civiliza- tion, encourage the promotion of thrift and industry and economy and the homely virtues which have ennobled our people, uphold the stability of our currency and credit and illustrate the purity of our national and municipal government; and then, though the rain
 descends and the floods come and the winds blow, the nation will stand, for 1t is founded upon rock.
