Following the presentation of tho banner. Dr. House, of Portland, was introduced as tho speaker of the evening. Ho spoke on the subject of "Weaving Our Destiny," and said in part: "According to tho old Greek leg end man first conceived his Idea of weaving from watching tho spider nt hU work. Taking this Idea, man first used pieces of bark and strands of hair and other things in making a rough effort at weaving, and from that has evolved the weaver of '.ho present day. "We are all weavers In tho hu man life, and the world is our loom. with all Its possibilities. The warp we use Is the natural endowments of the man, the brain, tho most won dcrful thing in the world. "The memory is more of the warp, .with its subtle power of retaining for years the impressions of life. Tbo reason, another strand which sifts out from the whole the part de sired. Imagination, the force that constructs and builds. ''The senses are more of the warp five great railways running into the union, depot of the brain, carrying to it their precious freight of impressions and impulses. The will, tho great engine of force which is in you for good or evil. The so cial nature of man with its power to love and make tho world beauti ful and tho improvements with which man has wrapped the world. "We are each a shuttle in God's great loom and our round of labor is the path mapped out which makes tho pattern of uoa s weaving, isacu has an Individuality and works In a different way. God loves variety, and has made the rivors and tho brooks, the mountains and the plains, the desert and the forest. Each man has a different face and voice and action, so that there Is nothing commonplaco In life. There fore, a good motto is, 'Be all you can be.' Believe in yourselves not egotism, but egoism. There are many Longfellows and Whlttlers and Hawthorneis Jo tho cemeteries sleeping unknown, because they never uttered the great thoughts that surged through their brains. ii-iil'a ui-r lliu Built'. . , - . null ; .uuuc UUUU.HUIIUI-T. , , 4, " . ,,f falls n man has tbat determines his character, but tho way he gets up.'
