ford INTRODUCING the Bishop. The ad-
dress which followed was along the
lines of the higher aim in life, that
mar is led by one idea which regu'
lates the life. Without this one idea
in the life men sink gradually until
at last they pass into oblivion. We
live by aspiration and hope and EN-.
deavor to accomplish something OF
god to others, and it is really pitiful
to see men who. have a great deal to
live on but nothing to live for. AS.
piration led Columbus to seek new
ways by sea, and brought him to
these American shores. Whenever
man lives up to his highest standards
and takes hold OF n Of Gods great
thoughts and brings it down to earth
to develop it into the highest mater

to follow. Fulton was a good example
of such a man who aharnessed q pow

ment of the marine navigation Of
our modern day. Washington was
another who had a broad view of'life
and saw the possibilities of a wes-
tern republic. Andrew Carnegie who
had such a splendid mother had
borne to him the great idea of the
needs and blessinges of a good lib
rary, and as result Of that leading
thought Carnegie libraries are scat
tered over the country from coast to
coast. J.a

life, going round and round and
round" not knowing that at the same
time the train was moving on in the
interest of the world. The greatest
places Of the world are Mount Sinai,
Jerusalem and Philadelphia, for on
Mount Sinai was given to the world
law, at Jerusalem was revealed to
the world the song of love, and at
Philadelphia was signed the decla.
ration which set forth the ideas OF
liberty and freedom that are now
recognized the world over. The key
note of the nineteenth century was
nationalism; the keynote of the
twentieth century makes love more
powerful than horror. IT'S said Hol-

but we are doing something better

Saint Peter, who was the first true

1t is a shame for man to amass a

his shortsightedness. In this pres
