social order tbat now is and gave
a number of poi*nent illustrations
iu which issues of state and
national moment were subjected
to careful scrutiny. Not alone did

ground of the very subject itself.
Tbe thoughts io substance, was
largely to encourage a Searching
out for facts and troths, and an
eagerness to rise above and
beyond the shallow or s uperficial.

then, as it in summary, tbe speaker discarded the non-essentials
sud insisted on clinging to only
"that which ia worthy of the
thought of perpetuity."
