in her Introduction OF Miss Glasgow.
She said: II feel like the old negro who.
In comparing the one year OF his sons
age with the twenty-five OF his own,
inferred that he was twenty-five times
as old as the boy. Then. continuing
his train OF reasoning. he found to HIS
surprise that in five years he would
only be five times the age OF the boy.
and that at fifty he could only hope to
double the youngsters age. Well,
well.' exclaimed the old negro. hue

sat at her feet and learned from her
the true philosophy of life
Miss Glasgow read her paper with
clear. distinct enunciation that rem

by all present. She began by relating
n story of a dog that perlshed beside
It's sleeping master in an attempt to

peril on the track. She contrasted the |
humanity OF the East with the cruelty |
of the West, quoted from the Mahaba- |
rata, as being the highest expression
of the love of man toward all created |
things: touched upon the cruelty of
the Dark Ages, and turned to the
awakening of better things in England |

She demonstrated in conclusion that !
as men discharged their moral respon-

charge them to their fellowmen, and
that kindness and gentleness to dumb
creatures. as we'll as to human beings,
simply meant real and Christian civil
ization.
