On January 10, 1903. John Fisher, the
secretary of state, laid before the
House a brief message from the COVER

Mr.. Bauday at a cost OF S93, and there
was an additional charge OF SIS for
packing, postage, etc, making q total
cost OF $50S.

PHILADELPHIA, YESTERDAY.
Former Ambassador Thomas f.

a large audience present to hear him
that many were obliged to stand, al
though large number Of chairs were
pressed into service.
Mr. Bayard is the great-grandsOn Of
Richard Bassett, the most eminent
Methodist layman Of his time, whose
face is carved in one Cf the four pillars
Of the church. Mr. Bayard referred to
this as increasing his interest in the
! dedication Of the new edifice. He
spoke Of the powerful religious inn
pulses that existed in England before
| the revolutionary war, and how they
had crossed the Atlantic TO America.
and.in the persons of John and Charles
Wesley, founded the Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
"I do not purpose" Mr.. BayaId con-
tinued, ITO describe the character Of
the men who began this work except to
say that no one who has studied their
| lives can help but acknowledge that
/ they lived in a time Of spiritual inspi-
ration and spiritual greatness. They
never hesiiated or paused whether
they went to the camp, the sea or the
| forest, and everywhere they were sus
tanned by the great wave of feeling tina
swept over this country. Whereve
there is a great work to be performe,
the preparation must be in the heart
Of the men who are to perform it,.
| In speaking of the suflerings Of tn
men who fought for American inde
pendence, he said: 1T may be that w
will not be called upon to suffer sucl
miserics as they did, but the MAJ
must be blind who does not see tina
other dangers threatens this nation
We can see nations without law O
credit sinking into decay and can
you also see that nations having law O
credit may he so assailed by lack @
conscience or moral courage that the
must also fall? These are questions O
cur day. AS the time Of trial come
men must rely on the revival of tina
| wave u riiAALAAl AllNt lIAA MNaNNW 0u
lancestors to embark on their struggle
Certain am 1 that if my countryme
are TO have continued happiness an
prosperity, as l hope they WILL it Wi
be because each man within himsel
will pray for spiritual force and powe
to make him fear nothing but the com
mands of his own conscience"
