II come to this task with bv-
ing heart and sympathetic feel
ings for the man whose memory
you to-day honor. In consider
ing a great man we should first
perhaps consider something
about the land and people from
which lie sprang.
Small as Denmark territori-
ally is, how splendid has been
her history and that of the Dan
ish people! She was the most
ancient mother of a race whose
achievements and whose sons
have belted the entire globe-the
Anglo-Saxon. 1t was the sea
rovers, the Vikings, from whom
Andersen sprung, who coasted
along the shores of this mighty
country of America hundreds of
years before Columbus sailed the
seas. The sea rovers were the
forbears of Andersen.
Denmark to-day, again, small
though she is, in literature, in
art, in science, in religion, is
scarce second to any nation of
the globe. And among the ma

should be placed first the man
whose name is household word
where the laughter and smiles of
children make glad the homes Of
| the nations. And who was this
man, this Hans Christian Ander-
sen? Was he a prince by blood?
No-l1e was waif of fortune.
He belongs to the line of those
who succeed only through strug-

He belonged to the great
mass of men who must toll in
one way or another. And he be-
came the beloved hero of the
child literature Of the entire
world. He was a man to whom
the world owes mush, because he
gave tongue to the things which
we call commonplace. It was OF
these commonplace things that
he sang. He told us Of the ugly
duckling and wrote what the pine
