The Memory of st. Andrew.
1.-THE Plus and immortal Memory of
ST. Andrew was the subject of Rev.
DR.. ]. d. Jordan's address. II know
Of no better way to introduce myself, :"
he said, than by telling the story of
two students in old Kentucky, the one
a theological student, the other a pu-
pill of the law school. The theological
student prepared q sermon and wished
to try it, so prevailed on the law stu
dent to accompany him to the woods,
and there hear it. He began with a
grandiloquent suggestion, Blot out the
sun, blot out the moon, blot out the
stars, and then paused. Turn on the
gas suggested the law student. The
gas is now being turned on" said DR..
Jordan, and he continued his address.
Il am much puzzled" he said, ito
know why St. Andrew was selected as
the patron saint of the Scotch. 1t
seems that Solomon would be a more
fitting patron for the members of st.
Andrews drink wine and talk about
women, and Solomon was fond of both.
l can understand whv the Irish select
ed st. Patrick for their patron saint,
for the man who could drive snakes
out of whole country might readily
be supposed to be able to drive them
out of the Irishmen's boots"
Further Mr.. Jordan said that he had
been asked to cut out the usual talk
about the saint, and say something
funny He said that the only thing
funereal that he had ever seen about
a banquet by the st. Andrews Society
was the smell of the haggis and the
empty glasses, from which the spirits
had fled
Toast 10 the President.
1.-THE President of the United States, :"
was the subject of Hon. J. Ferris Cams
address. He paid tribute to the
office, which he said was within the
reach of every one, and then said that
his friend, Hon. Thomas w. Hard
wick, might some day reach that ex-
allied position. Despite the turmoil that
arises just before, and during election,
he said, when once the election is over
the voice of the people calls to the
tempest be STILL the sun of content
breaks through the clouds and shines
upon a people submissive and loyal.
1t is the office of president. he said that
commands the respect of the people and
this, like Apostolic Succession, is ever
impaired. In the Office of president
there have been eight men of Scotch
descent, and no one of them has fail
ed to sustain the dignity of the Of
fee.
Although the present incumbent is
a toothsome subject as may be seen by
the 'Crums that fall from his table,
If we take a dispassionate view of
the man it will disclose a man of clean
morality. determined to do and to act
rightly" The speaker suggested that
II is possible his Southern blood has
caused him to look kindly on secession
as exemplified in the case of Panama.
Though the President has shown his
love for the negro, Maj. Cam, con-
tinued, "it is not greater than is shown
by the Southern men, though in his
ignorance the President has made the
mistake of showing it i'm the wrong
way. He closed by quoting a parody
of Kipling's Recessional dealing with
the United States and Colombia.
Tribute to BObbie Burns.
One of the most eloquent addresses
of the evening was the response of
Hon. Walter G. Charlton to the toast,
THE Land o. Cakes and Bobbie
Burns" He said in part: THE loyal
ty of the Scotch to Scotland and the
great sons who have made her his
tory is one of the few inspiring things
of this cold commercial age, and the
world sympathizes with this sentiment,
for it is as strong and as natural as
are Scotland's eternal hills. 1t is not
for an after dinner speaker to tell
those of Scottish blood that the land
Of cakes is the land of large statued
thought and lofty aspirations, for to
her every son it is known that philos-
ophy walked through her thorough
fares, that science dwelt within her
halls. and that her music which rose
in the freedom of her skies, has again
fallen like dew on the hearts of her
sons.
The speaker paid a glowing and elo-
quent tribute to Burns, saying that
nothing escaped his mental vision or
the touch of his hand, that the fol-
bles of the great and the follies of the
poor were alike the subjects of his hui
NOR. which was of a kind that made
even the victims of it join in the mirth
it srovoked.
To Sister Societies.
Mr.. j. r. Saussy responded to the
toast Our Sister Societies and Invit-
ed Guests" He began by congratu-
lating himself that he was at the BAN
quet. "A live dog is better than a
dead lion," he quoted. He realized, :"
he said, the force of this remark
lHIOuBH DelllS dDlt 70 De pItSeul dl the
banquet in the flesh.
In discussing the"sister societies" he
gave a brief history of the Union So
ciety, the Hibernian Society and others
saying that with the exception of the
Union Society that of ST. Andrews
is the oldest in the history of Savan-
nah, that Gen. Lachlan Mcintosh had
been its first president, and Sir Pat
rick Houston its first vice president.
He pair a tribute to the u. d. C.'s
and the d. A. RS which he said
