DR.. ABBOTT'S
ADDRESS.
Phi Beta Kappa
Celebrates,

The annusl celebration Of the Phi
Beta Kappa was held iu the chapel
of William and Mary College Mon
day night 10 the presence Of a large
audience. DR.. !. L. Hall acted as
chapter president. presided at Mon
day nights meeting and introduced
A. J. Montague who presented Dr..
Abbott. whose subject was The
Religious Life of Nation" In the
course OF his speech. DR.. Abbott
said:
Can a nation possess religion
can a nation live without religionr
I do not mean that there should 0c
a creed. or religion. or even the
word Immortality in a constitution
But the American nation must pos
sess a religion controlled by a re
Egious spirit. This nation must be
controlled by justice. mercy ano
reverence"
The speaker then read the pre-
amble 10 the American Constitution
and said: No written constitution
viii form a perfect union. Il mus
be a sentiment in the heart. justice
mercy and reverence.
In referring to the men who RET
resent the people in Legislatures an
in congress, DR.. Abbott said
Water cannot rise above its source
II the heart OF the American peoPl
is corrupt. il they are selfish an
sordid. We may be sure that u
men who represent Us vii truly rep
resent Us. Congress is a lookin
glass and reflects the America
people on the average. If We loo
in the mirror and see dirty face
DO not wash the glass, wash th
face. Religion IS the end an
object Of government, and religion
more important TO the American n
ton than to any other nation past {
present.
