 The address of the evening by Rev. Dr. F. s. Lines, D. D., on Burns was greatly appreciated by the large audi ence, After briefly referring to the his- torical data of the life of Burns, Dr, Lines dwelt at length upon Burns work for the Scottish people and for humanity. He classed Burns with Mill let and said that Burns in his poems like Millet in his 'Angelus" touched the great chords of brotherhood and hu- manity, Both portrayed the things of the common people and each in his way was preacher of great truths. At the conclusion of his address the audience gave generous applause.
 Mayor Studley on rising was received with cheers. He said that when he ac- cepted the office of mayor he thought he would find his duties as such, laid out in the charter, but he found there were numerous other duties to perform which were not defined there. He found he had to attend banquets, make speeches, sing with those who sang and laugh with those who laughed He was proud of having a Scottish connec- tion and related about his great grand mother who belonged in Glasgow and about her coming to this country at a llIle W Htll lildliS llC'hNoN the journey. Referring to the British empire as composed of England, Scot land and Ireland, he said was one of the greatest nations in the world. Re gardng Burns he said that when Burns lived his opportunities were few, his ! means of livelihood was scant and his 1 chances of receiving liberal education were small, but Burns, he maintained, 1 had made a name for himself among | men that would last as long as human hearts kept beating. He concluded by | wishing the Caledonian club all success | and hoped he would be privileged to | attend many more Burns celebrations |
