BISHOP wHITNEY's POEM.
The poem by Bishop whitney, which
was especially fitting and much APP
preciated by all present. was as fol-
lows;
There's a name writ oft--a name writ
large
in the book of human life.
What nane, than this, more In glory's
charge
Or more with merit rfe2
John the Beloved twas the name he
bore
Who wrote az the Spirit spake;
And John, that other, who went before
And bled for the Masters sake,
The name OF wycllno. "the morning
star"
OF Milton divine whose fame from far
Has descended unto us.
The Name OF many Il sapient sage,
In science, letters aud art,
Warriors and statesmen In every age
Giants In mind and in heart
TIL CHOSEN OF God and honored OF man,
That radiant name appears,
Now shining down from the snowy van
or two and eighty years,
Silyerlng the brow Of son of Cod
A man of war and OF peace,
Who fought for the right then plowed
and sowed
And hath reaped the rich increase.
A pillar he In Gods Temple now,
No more to go out for aye;
And TO him the gathered hundreds bow
On this glad natal day.
Next to the Prophet, our chief In
charge
Victor In peace as I'm strife,
