"A dreamer and his dreams was the
subject of an address by w. L. Andrews
fourth assistant auditor OF the Treasury
Department. at the mems meeting in the
gymnasium of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association building yesterday after
noon.
The speaker explained at length the
evolution of republican government from

was described by Mr. Andrews as the
dream foreseen by ACKNOWLEDGMENT and

said the auditor His dream was the
outline Of the existing and future civili
cation OF the world"
MIR. Andrews called attention to the
different state OF affairs in the imperial
city during the Augustinian age. and in
the land Of Palestine
VINO would dare challenge the power
that has wrested nations and kingdoms
from their former places in the political
world and given them places in the great
constellation OF the Roman empire2'

But while our Impulses are swayed by
this vast number and remarkable variety
OF nations. held. in place by the power
OF arms. let US turn toward the land OF
Palestine. as the star OF Bethlehem rises
over the hills and mountains of Judea.
ito guide the footsteps not only of the
wise MEN Of the East. but OF the nations
OF the earth, into the presence and knowl-
edge Of Him who spake as never man
spoke and revealed the future mission
and glOries Of the race"
Here the speaker told of the circum-
stances attending the progress Of Chris
thanking the Roman empire. Then. de-
scribing the gradual change taking place
in the worlds history. and political stand
ards all the time tending to approach the
ideal form Of civil government. he added:
THAT period known as the Dark Ages
was merely the transition from monarch
ical TO representative government"
Daniels interpretations
The Prophet Daniel" continued the
speaker. seemed to see in tie visions Of
the king those great epochs known as
the revival Of learning. s'the religious
reformation. and the political revolution
that swept through the countries Of the
world, crossed the trackless waste Of
unknown waters. and laid the foundations
OF a new civilization on the western hemi-
sphere"
In telling Of the efforts made By Wash

new Christian civilization in America. Mr..
Andrews said in conclusion:
