From the 4th of July 177G Civilization has made a steady march acro3 tke Western Hemisphere till it has reached this far-off but beau tiful laud oa July ith, 1883, and here I stand, a dencende-.it of the Pilgrims of 1620 to address an audience of intelli gent men and re lined and cultivated tvoaiot).

Yu Kiy heareTs are the descendants of aricua nationalities, nor does blood de ereoTate by the mixture of races, it rises to a nobler, higher manhood, the mind takes broader, grander views of lifo and all earthly and heavenly things. It becomes cosmopolitan. This year our Rppiiblic has .stood 107 year In 1783 the British evacuated Savannah oiv the South and New York on the Ncrth and peace was ratided in Paris, ainl .henceforth the United States of America was acknowledged a distinct nation. England forever lost her hold, France had been the iirsst to acknowl edge our independence. God bles old France, She showed her colors for free dom quicker than any European nation. She herself is free, and -w ill celebrate her natal day July 14. when the Pa-stile the dungeon of Tyranny was leveled to the ground; novel to be built again, 'lie! land ciimc nextthe "vand old lib erty-loviug Dutchman, then Sweden, "then Norway, then Denmark and Spain and last Ilussia. In 1 775 America is sued her Declaration of Independence, in 1783 all nations countersigned it, and still that paper every year is indorsed ,by thousands and millions of free Amer ican citizens. Some are born in this country, and Morae first saw the light on foreign soil, bvt as this freedom was achieved by for eigners as tvell a,s natives in the Iteio lution, so we accord to all equal rights, and show a benevolence equal to the isasrnanimitv of Freedom. We do not forget that Richard Montgomery, one of -"Washington's Generals, -who stormed Quebec, was an Irishman, .who said as fee led his troops, '' Men of New York, you will not fear to follow where your General leads, march on 1" He glori ously did in his boots that you, my iiearers, might be free, and we say to Ireland, the grand old mother, oppressed with woe and all sorrow, "We welcome "your sons and daughter to our heart? -and hearthstones," We forget not that tk; two Generals, Hugh Mercer, and Arthur Sk Clair were Scotchmen, and by the Icrve, tears and blood of " auld lang syne" we say, " Welcome my bon ny lads and lasses to our wheaten cakes and lui-eious fruits.

And such Englishmen we wel come, 'who love freedom more than all the.wwld ljide for we remember our original colonies were, mostly English ism. We forget not CJilbert Mot-tier, Marquis de Lafayette was the friend of Washington, and gave up all the luxu ries of a French Court to help a band of half-starved colonists who suffered, and bled for treedom. No grander name except Washington's is found in history thin the name of Lafayette and we say to the Frenchman, " Our hearts are like . Paris, they offer to you every luxury of affection and regard, corao and dwell with us, you were a friend m need and are a friend in deed and truth." We ha-e not forgotten that Thaddeus Kos ciusko, was a Pole, and we .say to the Poh "Ours is no Russia, we give you freedom to speak, to act, to think as you please, provided you vio ble not others' righl.s ' Ami v. e sav n i the American born citizen, remember ; George Washington, Ethan Allen, Israel j ...

To Bay S. S, I have the hoiv- ' of which wenow see lefore us in every l ..,,;., full of im lve .nd friend- ship for all. At the above meeting of this school :the usual business of organizing was I done. Mr. James Gill was elected Su : pevinfeendent whom we all see has served ; us with great honor to the school which 1 trust our honorable Superintendent may feel the school highly appreciates. Mr. John li. Peoglo was chosen as teacher of the Gentlemen's Lible Class; I presume, or I may assert, that all the scholars of this class feel that their teach er has served them with great usefulness and honor in the bringing of their minds nearer to the duties of a Christian life. Next Mrs. (Jill was chosen teacher of the Ladies' Bible Class, whom we trust may not become impatient in the dis charge of her duties to her class, but may she be able to see in the minds of her scholars that they are eagerly seeking for the greatest good which she is very de- sirouV and ever willing and ready to im part to them. Next V. 11. Copeland was chosen : teacher of the Hoys' Class for which ser vice he acknowledges the receipt of am ple reward. The present, teacher cf the Girls' Class is Miss Alice Higgins. Various teach- ers having taught this3 class, I piesume aro e.piallv entitled to honor for their .. ' ser ice. Miss Marv Fullerton, Teacher of ' the Infant Class, is serving tha little ones j with all the kind feelings of a long tried friend, and I feel that father and mother may alike feel thankful to her for teach ing and instructing their children in the ways of right who may se a ti'ne when j tiiev tau ioc,i- on t1(.jr youth as we v , ojJir onp . Jo &m x s they now repeat verses to their kind and attentive teacher. Daring this quarter the school lias been furnished with six Class Books for Teachers by Hon. John YL Beegle. With the school funds there has been furnished 21No.5. of -the S. Advocate Semi monthly for the term of ix months-, there has also been furnished one dozen Testaments also a suitable amount of Premium Cards and one dozen Gospel Hymn Books, also a sufficient number of Lesson Leaves. I would state the Treasurer's Book show all money for this quarter to be 61-3.00, amount expended 9.9f balance on hand 5.12. I find by careful attention that since this quarter has begun there have been verses repeated to the number of 1007. That such a large number have been re peated from the infant to the ad-tlt is I think a grand recommendation for our little school. A-j there certainly is great honor due for this deed, we will now see to what classes and scholars this praise is due. Following are the classes and scholars in their order of standing, 1st. Mrs. Gill's Class, Total, 26, Julia Slavens 10, Em ma Fullerton Mrs. Martin 17, Mrs. Morrison 12, Mrs. James Beegle, QJtJ: 2nd, Miss Alice Higgins' Class, Total, 277, Maria Bacon 15, Georgia Gill 21, Nora Bacon 28, Annie Beegle 10, Eliza McCoy 1G7: 3d, W.

By this lit! it will be seen Mrs. Gill's class has repeated the highest number of verses Mrs. James Beegle repeating 214, being the most repeated by any one scholar, Daniel McCoy beingncxt rereating 198, Eliza McCoy being the third highest hav ing 167. I would here suggest that for the benefit of the small scholars suitable premiums bo given io the five repeating the highest number of verses, rewarding them according to the number of verses repeated, premiums to be purchased with the school funds; this, I think, would : in . . .i rriye a liet.r.pr nmuivt.imif.v In rli mmiv , , ll, J . , J KlnaI1 wlolars ftro tr lnS hard to for premiums. j W.
