men OF every avenue of trade. every
walk OF life, who sat at this banquet
Ter growth and marked development
during the past fourteen years or
since Faihcr Waldron has been a res
ideut, was used as only a presage OF
what great strides are to take place
during thc next fourteen years
In fact DOver's development from
a village, or I.Oockerman's Lane town
was graphically pictured by ex-Chan-
collor Nicholson. who made a bril-
liant toastmaster aud held the ass

During this period he has labored
not only In the cause OF the CONF
mon Master said Mr.. Nicholson,
for the benefit OF the souls In his
keeping. but for the good OF this
community, and In such way as to
win the universal confidence OF his
ltellOW-tOwnsmcn. And now he leaves
us, but he leaves his shcaves behind
him, and We shall continue to gather
and profit by them, hoping TO meet
him In that Eternal Day whore there
is no more parting"

Continuing Father Waldron said:
"And must say tonight that while

and homes and institutions that we
are all proud OF, yet it seems TO me
the Board of Trade is only beginning
It's work And | have noticed for the

me say to YOU tonight that an organ

do what it has in the short time of its
existence, must stand and live and go
on. with the fruits of victories, into
