WELCOMES ARCHBISHOP.

My friends: 1 am called upon anad priv
ileged to give you on this great occasion
a grcat-at all events to me-what the pa
per in your hands calls q 'salutation
give 1t to you from 4 free heart in the
Holy name Of him whom. amid all our
differences, We serve. our living Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ.
1T is NOT a little thing TO me to be al
lowed in that name to sxest you here
here at the very pivot and center of Q
national life which for 1S1 years has had
than forty years has everywhere striven
to make the world good.
A vision rises before our eyes to-day
whereunto this thing with all that II I'm
Engiish-speaking folks. in the manifold
development OF our storfed life. to realize
in practice more fully than other men the
true meaning Of liberty-the liberty where
to recognize that such knowledge In itself
IL not heritage only. but Q splendid and
eacred trust The trust must be deter
minedly and daily used-used. amid all the
changes and chances Of life 10 the glory
of God and the immeasurable good OF man.
For that reason we want here, where
sends its pulse through the whole. to keep
raised overhead the banner Of him who
has taught US these things-our msater.
Jesus Christ The principles he 80 get forth
US that q mans life consisteth not IN
the abundance of things which he pos
sesseth. He taught us that society exists
for the sake Of the men and women who
constitute society. He taught us that sur
render even of individual rights for the
sake OF Christ. Is nobler than defense Of
privilege.
We must be here 10 work.
And men who work can only work for men,
And not to work In vain. must comprehenj.

And raise mems bodies sttil by raising souls
These are ideals. but they are Christ'a
ideals. and therefore, they can come true.
We mean, please God. that they shall. We
from across the sea. join hands with you
in the endeacor TO translate them into sc-
complished facts. not; fancy.
What we are aiming at and striving
after IS q plain thing-the bettering o:
peoples lives: TO make men purer and
men manlier: to uplift the weak and way
ward. and to trample under the feet what
is selfish and impure: to make certain that
every one of Christ's children shall learn
TO know the greatness Of hts heritage and
shall have an IDEAL before him. an en-
nobling ideal Of worship and Of work.
Christ charges rs with that: we are trust
ed TO work for him among those for whom
he died. No other period Of Christendom
can compare with ourS in the possibilities
which are set within our reach. No other
part of Christendom. as I firmly believe.
can do for the world what we. on either
side of the sea, can do for II. II we only
will God give US grace to answer to that
inspiring call.
