@Njw, my friends, for nearly 1000
years the disciples Of Christ have
gone to His altar to Ret'a new iDspir-
a'ion--a stronger faith-a higher
purpose and a loftier ideal. and they
have come away with a tirmer resolve
to maintain His standard md to carry
HIS Gospel to the ends Of the earth.
SO, after seeing the desolatiou
wrought in our country by the pre-
cepts Of Hamilton and the acts OF
Cievel md. we gather again at the AL
t ira uf Jeffers N to get a new inspir-
a ion, a stronger faith. d loftier pur-
Pose. and let us go away with a fir
ner resolve to maintain his standard
nd to carry the principles of denioc
racy not only to the ends u the earth,
nut TO the end Of time.
