Williams in the line OF civil and relig-
ious liberty. Tho holding OF these meet
ings is certainly commendable. and the
labor that many OF you are putting into
organization in the endeavor TO make IL
one of the most important In the state
will have its reward in the stimulus that
IL will give your children 10 strive TO emu
late the life OF this great man.
There Is one thing about the life OF
Roger Williams that strikes me more
forcibly than anything else. and that In
his wonderfully generous spirit and fair
ness TO his fellow man. He might. as
you all know, have been one OF the
wealthiest men OF his time, had he been
disposed to hold all OF the land that was
lawfully his. But instead OF doing this.
he gave a town lot 10 each OF the men
who came to Rhode Island 90 escape per-
secutton. like himself. and the land be-
came theirs without price. This was evil
dence that there was no avarice In his
nature. II we had many men hike him
today. who are the possessers OF the soil,
men who would display as much gener-
ousity of spirit. as he displayed. there
would be little possibility for city slums
In Rhode Island or anywhere else But
note the contrast: The owner OF town lots
today sets SO much by their value, one
would think that town lots are the only
things 10 live for here on earth, and the
only things 10 hope for in the hereafter.
For don't you see, II these lovers OF
authority and power can only possess a
few OF the celestial acres they may be
able TO display little of their authority
in the next world, IL only by putting UP
here and there a sign with that old
familiar inscription that we see so often
here on earth, Keep of the grass"
At the close OF his graceful words OF
greeting, Mr. Hall presented Gov Gar
Win, as the first speaker OF the afternoon.
The governor was most cordially received
and spoke as follows:
