their knees and worship God.
;, what did Harvey get for discovering that
Dlood clrculates; or Jenner for discovering
the virtues of vaccination: or Lister for DIV.

How many rich men of the past ages can
you now recall-men who did what they did
because of the money that was in it? Time
mas washed their names from the memory of
man as rude scrawl from a schoolbov's
slate. But the men who toiled with human
nands and human sympathies for men; the
men m VINO worked at their task for the love of
'-iSih iiiSIHollCo CdINeU on TABLETS OF
stone and indelibly written in human hearts
Ihose who starved in garrets while thev
wrote OF human love, who fought the wolf

respect and the love of their felloWmen dead
they are denied the grateful memory of Their
posterity.
The spirit of service and fellowship is a+
kells. Those who are on the payroll do not
work Tor the proprietor; they are his associ-
ates, who work with him. They both work for
one thlng-the reputation of Kells as a place
