| the better not only for your having
 lived in it, but also because you taught
 these boys of Upson seminary to be
 men," If they do say this to and of them and us it is because we havr
 needed the teachings of our school bo, days and have tried to be men. And as gaze up there it seems to me that
 can see the spire of the ''church on the hill," where we pledged ourselves to nObler life-is it we'll with us: And now few words more about the head of this institution, and in saying "head" mean the man and his wife, for have always been taught tba, man and wife were one. Wendell Phillips said: "The world is made up of two classes-one goes ahead and does something, and the other sits still and grumbles because it was not done the other way"
 Your life, our dear parson, has been one of doing something. Your record of chaplain of the 18th Connecticut under her gallant leader, Birge, is one ohy u0A SoA ohu OAOulO pIOuu Your life in this community from the day you came here as pastor to this day is one to be envied. You have faithfully performed your duty as you saw it, without fear or favor, and to- day, I believe, were those here who differed the greatest with you, they would say your being here was a good thing for all, and benefit to the con- munity. We cannot think alike nor do we see alike. You have guided the young entrusted to you honestly and we'll. By your just treatment you have CAUSED THE BOYS TO HONOR AND RE-
 SPECT YOU.
 Never was there time we went to you in vain for advice or help, and you were man enough to give us right when we occasionally were in the right. And you, dear Mother Upson, who womanlike have gone silently on with yonr part, shielding us when you could, now and then causing a storm about to break, to disappear, aiding us many time to gain point where by day s outing we had, nursing us when we were sick, soothing us and us, and last, but not least, guiding us so that we to-day are walk ing in the footsteps of the dear Mas ter, know his great love, we here pub licly thank you for the good work you have done, silently, oftentimes, but nevertheless effective. MT and Mrs Upson, we, your boys, have come home to join you in the 35th anniversary of the birth of Upson seminary and to renew our VOWS of love and affection to you, the founders of an institution whose groundwork has ever been the love and fear of God Almighty and the belief in boys. And those boys have deputized me to present to you in their name little something, a token of love, an outburst of affection. Take it in the spirit it is given and may God bless you and may your years be long here on this earth.''
 It was with evident feeling that MT Upson arose to reply to the address of MT Cameron. He said he had rather live in the hearts of a few good men than have the assets of the largest in- company in the world. In speaking to the boys, now men of af- fairs, he said: Your success is our suc- cess. Your love and respect we regard as an asset, as absolutely invaluable. It blesses our heart to meet you.
 In the evening large company of New Preston people gathered to enjoy a social evening, and greet MT and Ms UpSOn and the boys returning. Danc.
