 In beginning his talk the distinguished visitor said 1t gave him much pleasure to be with the Young Mems Christian Association, and he felt like he might be able to say something that would be of benefit to them. He urged upon every man the necessity of taking part in the political campaigns, and said that those who failed to discharge their duties as citizens were traitors to the best inter- ests of their country. He paid tributes to the high characters of Washington, Gladstone, Bismarck and Queen Victoria, saying tht they were inspired by their love of Christianity to do that which would most benefit mankind. Each, he said, would live in the memory of man ss long as civilization and love of liberty existed.
 Patriotism Urged. He said the country should be as faith fully served. as ardently loved and that then 1t would indeed be a great country and one that would challenge the devo- tion and love of every citizen. He refer red to the magnificent growth of the United States since It's foundation only a little more than century ago, and Of its outstripping other nations in the march of progress. He said that the great English statesman. Rosebury, in calling attention to the rapid commercial growth ,pf America, stated that America was so close ip the rear (to EnglanD that it cast its shadow in front" The speaker said he would change the figure of speech if he were making it.
 He said that he had urged southern young men to take part in politics, that it was a duty they owed their country.
