not lift up my voice in euloCy 10 the
great state which We all love and the
fftieth anniversary az which We are
about to celebrate. but address ny
self rather To the individual citizens
thereof. and who are before men.

to tho state OF which We are a part
\ value second 20 none other Of which
I know. II ycN ask mo what this
value is rnply. IL is chiefly the value
of the character that We individual 3
put into g. Character Is what a man
IS. II IS not the value OF. nor the
wealth that he possesses. nor the re-
sources no commands. nor tho reputa-
ton he enjoys Reputation Is what n
man seems 20 be. character Is what
he Is. and a. such il 8 good influence.

time that gives effectiveness 10 the
