before large and apprecia-

Miss Grace Pike, president of the
society introduced the Rev. Mr.. Hough
in graceful manner which he ac-
knowledged in the course of his
talk by witty remark that caused
much laughter. In announcing
his subject the speaker related an
incident of his youth in which he was
advised to choose the biggest subject
he could think of when asked to ad-
dress an audience, and accordingly
he had chosen on this occasion,
Uncle Sans Land It would be
impossible to write adequately of the
eloquent and witty address which
followed, in any abstract of it, and
only few points may be touched
upon. The speaker traced the hand
of Providence in the rise, develop
ment and vast growth OF the American
nation, and paid glowing tribute to
its heroes-statesma and soldier.
He pictured the typical American
who could rise from the jack at-all.

that it is this power of adaptability
to circumstances coupled with keer
relish for hard work that has enabled
