keeping. the act of taking care, the
protecting Of health, and social or
der. Will you go with me for just
a moment, please, back into the his
tory of Queen Elizabeth's time, into
the humble cottage home of an Eng
lish clergyman. There is a little
babe in that cottage and We are go
ing there to study him that through
the years to come We can better
judge of his life's influence, for his
father is noble man, his mother a
queen among noble women. Time
passes, the little babe has grown to
mans estate, and like his father has
become clergyman, standard
bearer of his day, and has taken
unto himself a good wife with high
and noble influence Their eldest
son lived and did as the father. and
his son in time became a minister,
came to America and entered Har-
ward University and was greatly hon.
ored. This learned mans son be-
came a minister-his name was JON
athan Edwards, and in searching the
records in 1900 it was found that
the descendants of this good man
living in England had given his
children beyond the third and fourth
generation a heritage indeed. 1894
descendants have been traced and
identified; 295 were college grad
yates, 13 were college presidents, 65
professors, 60 physicians, los cler-

vice president, IS army and navy Of

N the highest sense. We preserve
our interests in every phase of ma
ture. and too long has humanity
battlei through ignorance and the
winds of life blown dreary through
hearts and souls unsheltered and I'M
loved. A clean and upright people
is a clean and upright country. We
as country, as state, have one
vital question to solve-we do not
wish to be burdened with another of

speak of conservation" in the race
problem. We must profit by the
lesson given us by our sister state
and keep the undesirables out
those that by the laws of nature can
never hope to assimilate with the
Caucasian race in color, in religion

keep our fair state pure and I'M
spotted. Our motto could well be

charitable towards all, and our rep

pie remain truer to themselves and

the kind of animals for them to have
