Mr.. Mayer has been complaining for
two or three weeks with headache

"The Golden Age"
A silver tongued orator and golden
subject was the happy combination
presented to an audience large, ia con-
sideration OF the weather, Thursday
afternoon. After congratulating his
audience on listening to one of the best
entertainments on the American stage
for he considers the Temple Quartet as
without a peer General z. 7. Sweeny
passed on to his subject. He defined
the golden age as the period which
shall render the highest possible SER
vice to the world, and likened 1t to the
century plant, bursting into glorious
blossom after ninety nine years OF
preparation and development. He said
n man can only be measured by HIM
self 1t is great thing to be man.
The latter is more valuable than any
thing he has ever acquired, more wall
liable than his organization and more
valuable than all his achievements
General Sweeny severely criticized the
airs of superiority of what he bluntly
dubbed weak minded people. He be-
lieves every man should have the right
to make himself the equal of every
other man-if he can do SO. God never
intended man to be a slave to anybody
or anything.
Science, art and culture make up
the unit of civilization. Follow no
calling that does not in some way serve
and lift UP mankind" he advised
While the American nation is the
greatest on this earth, that greatness
is not due to It's army and navy, which
by no means take first rank among
the nations. 1t is due however. to the
fact that everything In its government
is intended to minister to and serve the
individual. BY that power we COM
mand other nations, how etfectuauy
history proves. Thus America Is es-
pecially fitted for growing men. Man
is thinker, taker. and actor, AM

along these three sides of his nature.

Mighty forces in this land are now

operation by which men depend upon

The two great problems are those of
gaining wealth, and of dividing it.
Upon the latter hinges the golden age.

Rev. McNutt lectured on the above
