 Address by Dr. O. E. Brown.
 Doctor Brown, in opening his ad- dress, congratulated himself that he had not been a contestant in the ora torical contest just finished. HeH said that at first he had felt a desire to be again a participant in such an event However after listening to the speech es he felt that he would have been out classed. He said that he would offer no apology for selecting a motto for his address from the Bible. Tho Scriptures said the speaker, "are the greates educational influence the world has ever had. and never has there been a great educational movement or revival that has not been directly attributable to the Bible"
 The motto of his remarks he said. would be from the Epistle of Paul to the Ephesians. Cover earnestly the best gifts" The speaker followed out his subject in beautiful train of thought referring to the crucial time that comes in the lives of all ambi- tious men when they find that the cap- abilities which have been given them are apparently insufficient to carry them to heights to which their ambi- tions aspire Dr. Brown said that the first time a man comes to this realiza- ton marks a crisis in his life and up- on the way in which he accepts this condition of affairs largely depends the course of his after life. Said Dr. Brown: "All honor to the man who takes the discovery of his limitations as a challenge to fight his way over the barriers they form. and to achieve the high things his mind dictates
 The address was one full of thoughts which carried with chem an encourag- ing and uplifting influence.
