PRESIDENT JONES' ADDRESS WAS
A MASTER PIECE AND ENJOYED

History is here illuminated, and feeds
the mind, while infestoon drops my
riads of indescribable handiwork fin
ishing in gold the silvery shadows,
which flash from the magnolia only
to grow in, the pomegranate, standing
on the seashore one hand catching the
spray, and the other keeping time to
the song birds with eyes piercing the
endless outlay, the busy gardens of
nature hanging about, like jewels se-
lect, have hoped for this hour when
I might come into this presence and |
tell you Of my stewardship. Whether
in my own native state, the Carolinas,
Ohio, Pennsylvania or Virginia, every
where, because Of your position, in |
all matters germane and fundamental
ly constructive with one accord, tri-
umph after triumph has marked our
course. AS best could your record
has been unmodified, and have made
bold to tell the truth and nothing but
the truth, God has helped me, the
darkness has been dispersed and ere
! many months, the miscarried concep-
tion will have disappeared and the
unvarnished truth unconcerned save
for the good of all mankind stand
forth in mighty conquest.
The battle of ages fought on Calvary
left the King of terrors pierced
through and through with his own
darts, and until this day his followers
are inspired and fight for, victory.

are augmented by consistency as we'll

forces are well geared, and power fol-

Convention armed in the cause of
righteousness and are you making

church,. Are you steadily adhering
to the Golden Rule, and building for
time and eternity acharacter I'M
blemished for love and service? If
such is your course, then, | hasten
here to order you forward, on, in the
pursuit Of lifting as you climb. 10
