Whom truth presented justice to
the world the munidcent gift was
adorned with flowers of love and sen
timpnt. Since that period phtriotic
sentiment has been the ruling spirit
with the libcral-loYing people OF all
the nations, Sentiment was the force
that directed the liberated bird of the
ark to return with tender sprig In
witness OF a receding flGpd, giving
notice TO the long imprisoned family
that tho time was at hand for the
tremendous work OF rehabilitation.
Sentiment provided shield OF bull
ruShcF for the babe OF destiny. and
gave to Moses. tho deljverer. the
magic power to save his people
through the divided waters OF The
Red Sea. Sentiment gave to Damon
his unyielding devotion for Pythias,
and led Joan OF Arc to sacrifice the
life OF heroine On the alter of, her
country's love; continent nerved the
noble manhood of tho South to sacri-
fee life and fortune in defense of a
cause righteous as heaven is just! 1t

the saffron robe, woven from angelic
tears, that Is thrown around the

1t causes the heart-springs to play
hide and seek around the sweet menu
