sinner.
Cannot Produce
Life
Then I summon three electrical wiz
ards of the world to my bedside and
say, Gentlemen, want to live and
have sent for you to come"
And they say to me, "Oh! we can
kill people with electricity, we can
| light buildings, we can make search
! lights, we can flash messages across
the seas, but we can not prolong life"
Then ! summon the great Queen
Elizabeth, queen Of country upon
which the sun never sets. Three
thousand five hundred dresses hang
in her wardrobe. She measured her
jewels by the peck. Dukes, kings,
earls and princes fought for her smile
and they came miles to touch the hem
of her dress. stand by her bedside
and hear her cry, GAIL my possessions
for moment OF time.
l go to Alexander the Great, who
won his first battle when he wasA1S;
king of Macedonia, when he was 20.
He sat down on the shore Of the
Aegean sea, wrapped the drapery of
his couch about him, and lay down
to eternal sleep, the conqueror of
an unknown world, when he was only
35 years old.
! l go to Napoleon Bonaparte. Vic
tor Hugo called him the archangel
of war. He arose in the air Of the
nineteenth century like meteor. His
~sun arose at Austerlitz; it set at
Waterloo. He leaped over the slain
of his countrymen to the presidency
of his country; then he was first con
sui and then he vaulted to the chat,
of the emperor Of France.
/ But It. was the cruel wanton
achievement of insatiate and unsanc
titled ambition and 1t led to the bar
rem st. Helena Isle. AS the storm
beat upon the rock once more he
fought at the head of his troops al
Austerlitz, at Mt. Taber. and the
Pyramids.
\ Once more he cried, I'm still the
head of the army" and he fell bach
into the arms of death. and the great
est warrior the world has known
since the days of Joshua was NJ
more.
In Magnificent
Tomb.
Tonight on the banks of the Siene
he lies in the magnificent tomb witt
his marshals sleeping where he car

1 he made famous draped around him
and from the four corners of the
earth students and travellers turf
aside to do homage to the great mil
itary genius.
