 t'It gives me great pleasure on this, the last evening of my stay in your hoSpitable city. to meet with the young men and the young women of the Epworth league and the Christian Endeayor and the Union of the Bap- tist church and the Christian young people generally who have dedicated themselves to the holy cause of Chris tfan teaching. congratulate you upon the noble work in which you are en- gagged and the great results which have followed your efforts. He who serves the master best serves man best. and he who serves truth, serves civilization. There is nothing that lasts so long nor wears so well and is Of in- estimable advantage to the possessor as high character and an upright life and that is what you teach by exam pie and by instruction. And when you are serving man by Helping him to be better and nobler, you are serving your country. I do not know whether it is true that every man is the arehi- tect of his own fortunes, but surely every man is the architect and builder of his own character. It is no longer a drawback to the progress of young man to be member of a Christian church. It is no embarrassment, it is an encouragement. It is no hind rance, it is a help. There never was in all the past such demand as now for incorruptible character strong enough to resist every temptation to do wrong We need it in every relation of life, in the home. in the store, the bank and in the great business affairs of the country. We need it in the discharge of the new duties that have come to the government. It is needed every where, never more than at this hour. I am glad to show my interest in the great cause for which you are enlisted. for you are helping all the time home and family, law, and liberty and. coun- try"
