address of the evening. which will be
published in a later issue, giving q
brief but scholarly summary of the
life and work Of Washington, and end
ing with an eloquent eAhortation to
follow in his footsteps.
T. McCants Stewart followed with a
brief address. speaking substantially.
as follows:
Every nation has its heroes-men
pnd women-who. because OF eXtraor.
binary elements of character. stand
above others In the usefulness and in.
fuenoe of their lives.
Hawaii has her Princess Pauahi
who, because OF the dedication of her
wealth to public beneyolence. will be
O heroine forever.
England has Victoria whose exalt-
ed womanhood and splendid work for
humanity will make her heroine to
all ages.
Tonight We are keeping green the
memory of Americas first hero. Other
heroes there are men who have stamp
ed the impress of their genius upon
our institutions and have wrought
nightly for the good Of humanity:
but the first fruit of the new worlds
civilization was George Washington.
"Over forty years ago. saw pic.
ture Of Washington, which have new
er forgotten. | have not seen II In
years; but 1t is fresh in my memory

and the American people were too poo

There was no human aid to seek; q
human hand to grasp. In that dar
and dismal hour, and In his bare an
cheerless tent, Washington, In this pis
ture, is on his knees at prayer. A
prayer! yes. at prayer. In that hor
Of need, and uncertainty, and darkness
Washington turned to God.
Into every life there comes Va

: lief comes only through praye
through that trust in God, which hi
characterized the heroes Of all ages.
Washington at prayer is the thougl
or this very brief speech.
II grant the exception; but histo
shows that the heroes of every matte
and of every age, the men who ha'
helped mankind the most, are the mt
who believed In God, and who wo
