Nr. NarshaIrs Address.
The address of the day was delivered
by c. b. Marshall, who spoke as fo!-
lows:
There are great many emotions or
impulses which we share in common
because they are of the web and woof
of the human heart. These emotions
are easily awakened when the proper
chords are struck. Many of them have
become symbolized in song and story.
On the banks and braes of bonnie Ayr
an obscure country lad wove one of
these emotions into song--a song
which | see will conclude the exercises
of this meeting-'Auld Lang Syne." y
song which the people have sung for
hundreds of years; a song which will
be sung in all the days to come. There
isn't much to the words of the song. II
lis simple. artless verse, and vet it
never fails to awaken one of these
emotions of which I have been speak
ing-'the love for old friends and old
associations
1T is that emotion or impulse which
has prompted this organization and
has brought you together here today.
You have come. lest old friends and old
associations be forgotten. and because
you have real enjoyment and pleas
ure in recalling those associations. Not
that they We're all pleasant, because
we all know the most of you eXperienc-
ed something of the hardships and pri-
vations of the settling of q new coun-
try And yet feel safe in saying that
none of you look back upon those eX
periences with any real regret. We all
OF us now haze a different standard OF
living We have conveniences that in
those days would have seemed impos
sible and unreal; but after all aren't
all these things mere conveniences? Ii
what way and how have tney made us
| bigger and hptter2
