MIR. HUNTINGTON'S ADDRESS.
1T gives me pleasure to welcome
you to my house at another Of oul
annual dinners and to express to yol
my appreciation of your continued
friendship, which is so gratifying a:
we'll as satisfying to me. We have seer
another year pass, and again we ar;
together to give way in our brief hours
of social reunion to the feelings ani
the thoughts which l know must &C
cur to each of you as they occur tt
me- How many more times, if eve
again, we shall join hands none of u
can tell With the year passes tn
century. May we all live to see th'
new one and to enter upon 1t in goot
health and happiness, determined t
see to it that we will bear our earnes
part in the great work that is yet Il
come.
ITO you young men, who have nue.
of your lives before YOU the twentieth
century opens with a grandeur of pos
sibilities almost beyond conception. W
have seen our splendid republic within
stride forward that is to-day the won
der of the civilized world. There ar
misgivings abroad lest we should IA
to solve the great problem we have lat
out for our study; but it is only natura
that these misgivings should exist
Those who look with jealous eyes upo.
American advancement find it easy t
be apprehensive of our ability to sue
coed, and TO fear for our future TO
their apprehensions and doubts, I i'm
agine, are born of their unexpTessed-
perhaps unconscious-hope that we wi
fail: in short it is quite reasonable t
think the wish is father to the thought
The world recognizes in the struggl
now going on across the Pacific tn
rising of a star which is likely to OUT
y shine them all. They see to-day tn
oldest and the youngest nations face +
1ace-the United States and China-on
drawing the feeble breath of old ag
and impotent to raise vigorous arr
against the aggression of those VIII
seem ready to tear her to pieces an
Nature makes the cures
after all.
