Speaking to the men of engine com.

trophy for efficiency at their engine house.
on Lanier place, last night, Rev. DR.
Abram Simon called attention to the re-
cent fire catastrophe at the Albany cap

Career Calls for Courage.

His career demands unQuestioning
courage. He keeps his body strong and
alert to fight our battles. He Is the true
knight Of our times. He is another St
George ready to set his heel on that red
dragon, the fire. How shall such men
be compensated? OF course. they should
receive wages sufficient to provide COM
Portable homes, the education of their
children and insure an old age free from
want and care. But they should receive
something more-such recognition as We
have tried to symbolic tonight. There is
only one coin in which unselfish public
service can be paid. and that is the coin
of public gratitude. We are apt to take
our blessings too much for granted, but,
whether We realize it or not, we lie down
to sleep each night in the security of their
strong hands and resolute hearts.
Former Commissioner Mcfarland spoke
on the growth of the fire department,

having been one Of his especial hobbies
