tentiOn to the hero of Wetzel and
by the time he had shed his long
coat and threw it into his seat
with his big hat on top of it, and
glared around in search of his fol-
lowers who hadn't followed he
found himself the recipient of an
ovation that was a combination of
Chautauqua salute and a German
students hilee-hilo.
Did he rise to the occasion? He
did. And that show stopped right
there; nor would the audience per-
init it to proceed till their man had
finished.
With low sweeping and far
reaching bow he sailed in:
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow
citizens and fools, 1 thank you for
your very vociferous applause and
for your most cordial reception,
which, to me, is as unexpected as
it is flattering.
IF asked from where l hail
from, my sole reply shall be, 1
hail not from Appomattox and its
famous apple tree where the con-
quering hero wrestled the sword of
victory from the vanquished foe.
Nor did l with the embattled
farmers stand and fire the shot
heard round the world; nor with
Napoleon, cross the bridge at Lodi
and mingle the Eagles of France
with the Eagles of the crags,
whilst forty centuries were look
ing down upon us. l hail not
from stored lands across the seas
haloed by painters brush and
moving tales of daring to do when
gallant knights rode forth with
waving plume and flashing crest
to fight for ladies fair, or with
lance in rest entered the lists to
pluck the bubble of reputation
from the lannon's mouth.
II hail not from lands of palm
and southern pine where close by
the cottage door the sweet magno-
liza blooms, while through the
dusky wildwood there throbs the
mockbird's song, where the baliny
jasmine-scented zephyrs gently
watt across the perfumed fields,
and wake to ecstacy the living
Tyre.
Nor yet from the bleak New
England shores, where the break
ing waves dashed high on a stern
and rock bound coast, while the
sterntaCed fathers anchored safe
the immortal bark, smoothed off
the face of Plymouth Rock, and
carved the Ten Commandments
upon that everlasting cornerstone
of this eternal tower of Liberty
which lifts its shining turrets to
the star-spangled azure dome Of
the blue imperial heavens.
Not from the vine-clad hills of
La Belle France, nor stored castles
on the Rhine, nor down among the
English lanes where shepherds
watch their flocks by night, nor
from heather clad hills of the Land
O. Cakes where the Scottish chiefs,
with claymore in one hand and
pibroch in the other, charged
down across the Culloden Moor
and secured these English hence

Legends concerning Abraham
may be used with good effect -e s-
pecially the one from the Koran
which describes him as secretly
nourished in cave until he grew
up. Coming to the mouth of the
cave for the first time, he sees a
star and cries, This is my god. "
But the star fades before the moon,
and he acknowledges the latter as
his god. But when the sun rose
he turned in alteration to it, until
it in turn sank-then the patriarch
cried: Neither star, nor moon,
nor sun shall be my god, but He
who made the heavens and the
earth" By whatever process,
Abraham had shaken off the poly
theism and idolatry of his fathers,
and was monotheistic and Messiah
aspiring.
