President Worst was introduced to
the vast audience that had gathered
in the spacious house chamber for
this occasion, and in addressing Gov.
ernor Hanna, the state officials, men,
bers of the legislature and citizens,
President Worst said that though it
was almost half a century since Abra'

who remembered the great sorrow thai
swept over the country because OF his
death, and it seemed most fitting to
gather at the capitol of the state on
his one hundred and fourth birthday
anniversary and pay tribute to his life
and to his work.
President; Worst. departed from
eulogizing the man and spoke of him

pilgrims to find a land where they
could enjoy their religious freedom
without persecution. The speaker
told of how the first vessel of pilgrims
landed at jamestown devoid of food
and means of livlihood. and how TWEEN.
