Charles F. Nesbit and Dowell Rogers.
After the courses had been served the
toastmaster, Arthur Copeland. arose in his
place and introduced Prof. Carroll who
welcomed the guests in happy speech.
Justice Brewers theme was Religion and
Patriotism" In the course of his remarks
he said he realized that he had passed the
age, when, a according TO DIR. Osler, he should
have been chloroformed. but assured his
hearers that he had not grown old that
to him the future did not look bright for
the nation.
II never knew until tonight that st.
Patrick was Baptist" said he. Il wonder
II this had any connection with your hav-
ing Greene pastor" This recalled TO the
Justices mind an anecdote about a judge
by the name of Greene. This official was
angered because the lawyer referred to
Brownie on Frauds instead of Browne
on the subject and asked IL he should pro-
nounce his name "Greenie" because there
was silent ''e'' at the end. The lawyer
answered. said the Justice, that depends on
how you settle the present case"
THE boasI of our nation is that the
church and state are separate" continued
the Justice 1T is best for both to render
unto Caesar the things that are Caesars,
and the fact that they are separated does
not imply the slightest antagonism. The
man who Is the best Christian makes the
best patriot. and he who is the best pa triot
develops into the truest Christian" He add
ed that in moral as well as physical nature
there Is correlation of forces. Light, neat
and energy are all different modes of mo-
tipn m ont pf n lie
Struggle for Wealth.
Justice Brewer then dwelt upon the sell
fish struggle for wealth as one of the be-
setting dangers of our republic today.
These combinations of capital. he said.
while in themselves present no harm, are
converted into menacing organizations.
threatening the welfare of our country. He
discussed at some length the principles un-
DERIVING the labor organizations of the ma
ton and of the sympathy which was
aroused in the hearts of the nine justices
of the Supreme Court when one of the
counsel in the famous Debs case pleaded
that his clients had mace a great sacrifice
that their neighbors might profit.
Dr. r. H. McKim was tire next speaker.
He began by waving the hsmrock and de-
clared he could not believe that st. Pat
rick was Baptist. He said 1t was great
undertaking to follow such a man as JUS
tice Brewer, but he found comfort and con-
ISOLATION in the fact that law Tor chloro-
forming people in accordance with the Os-
Ter idea would not be passed. Oh Mckim
responded to the toast The Young Man
Militant" The young man today, he de-
clared, has to face many crises which per-
haps may involve the price of his manhood.
He alluded to the heroic characters OF ear
lier centuries who exemplifed the religion
of Christ The one virtue needed by the
Young man, he said, is courage to stand
and fight for the right and this can only
be done by unwavering fortitude.
Justice Shepard's Remarks.
Justice Seth Shepard responded to the
toast The Simple Life" By way OF pref
ace he reverted to the early centuries, when
great things were accomplished by the ex-
ercise of the moral power. The simple life.
he said, had been led in the time of Pales-
tines strength and power and in the time
of her degradation. 1t was led In Rome
at the height of its glory and In It's fall.
He made a pleasing reference to the char
acter of President Roosevelt who. he said.
typified the idea of the simple life.
DR.. Vaughn, the founder of the class, was
the last speaker He responded TO the
toast Marching Orders AS everything
Irish appeared appropriate, Dr. vaughn
told several amusing anecdotes which pleas
ed. I'VE have been sitting among the tall
corn, he asserted and have listened to the
highest wisdom from the lips of men whose
words are carried out by their living" He
said If we could not all attain flames high
fellow. This was what he had endeavored
to do during his lifetime and was the
thought which inspired him to organize the
class fourteen years ago.
