The subject was "The self sufficiency of the republic The lecture was of such a nature as to render a report inadequate, if not i'm. possib ble. After an historical survey of our predecessors on this continent, and a detailed statement of the nature of the French and Spanish coloniza. tion of the United States, Mir. Miller described our relationship with Mexi- co, So. America, Canada and England. He stated his firm belief in the ulti: mate union of Canada and the United States. He emphasized the fact that we are a peace-loving people, great in commerce, yet exalting righteousness. The only real reril our country has ever faced was the peril of disunion The success of the republic rests upon our willingness to serve 1t in peace as readily, and with the same self sacrifice. as we shed our blood for 1t in war. While never losing the theme, MT. Miller made wide variations up- .on it, introducing entertaining aneo- dotes and pathetic stories. He ap- pealed to the emotions, as we'll as to the intellect of his hearers, and left 8 lasting and uplifting impression
