WELCOME ADDRESS
BY Rev. w. e. Howard,
Monroe, La.
1t is with profound pleasure .ant
an ultimate degree Of satisfaction
that l welcome you to this august
body and the illustrious sons of Ham
since we met last beneath us east
and west, north and south, the
country has been and is-on the prec
pice of mighty conflict, but
have prayed that our march here
would be radiant with the marks o.
his golden footsteps, fresh with sun,
beams stealing through the gates Of
the morning, and that the ineffablt
splendors Of a new Jerusalem may
burst upon our paths. l feel myself
highly congratulated on being the
happy recipient of this gathering
and it is befitting to me to have come
before you. Can mother forge
her child? l have been looking for
ward to be with you many day
and today l come to you strong will
open arms laden with blooming field
and tasseling corn, for we have killed
the fatted calf, baptized the chickens
in hot water, and fried the steak il
gravy, all for your comfort while yol
are here. God has built for us tn,
masonry of the mountains-that in
finitely transcend the greatest of th
old pyramids of Egypt.
DR.. Boyd, the whisper cam
to our ears of your coming to ou
city to make us a visit and speak t,
us on this great Sunday school, B
! Y. P. u, A. F. Cadets, Cradle Roll
Metoka and Galeda Movements. w
are here with you to make this oc
casion as pleasant as possible TO
your coming. You may not find on
city as others with its .seventy-fiv
square miles of paved and asphal
streets, neither will you find man
magnificent brick or concrete struC
: ture with their heights 7, s, 10 an
IL stories high, that you may vie'
afar off with their illuminary light
but as progressive people who ar
sole owners of municipal railwa
and electric power and water plant.
DR.. Boyd again we welcome you t
,, our city and permit me to say here |
,, the language once addressed to tn
youthful knights, scholars, jurist
artists, philanthropists, heroes of
, Christian age and companions of
celestial knighthood, go forth, b
brave, loyal and successful, ,-and ma
1t be our Office here to light fres
beacon fire sacred to truth and Il
the flames spread from hill to hill
from state to state, from island
island and from continent to cont
!, nent, till the long lineage of fire
. shall illuminate all the nations {
: the earth, animating them to tn;
holy contest of knowledge, justic
beauty and love. Then the hotter
tots of Africa, that tattooed savag
the crowned monarch and every nj
tion,. kindred and tongue shall col
: fess and at the name of Jesus ever
: knee shall bow and when that |
llustrious day shall rise, and all God
9 army shine with robes of victor
