of today's Chautauqua,

The speaker
"Kvery true . American citizen is m
teresred In American history. ; Wheth
er trfis is hU native land or; whether
it is j his adopted home, he views with,
peculiar pleasure ; the sublime success
of this, which is the first as well as
the last of the great nations of the
earth. He eees v-howH Providence,
sometimes leading, guiding, inspiring,
sometimes hindering def siting, has.
with what we thin wtth ertraovatiMt-
rv devotion, made this nation to be
come at once the wonder, and admi
ration of mankind, i
fThe time of the discovery of this
country- Is a. most important item in
Its history. Of this venerable world
we respectfully ask: How old are
your How long aid these proline
plains wait for the coming of the plow
man T How long have these beautiful
lakes nestled among these mountains,
like a child upon Its mother's breast?
How long have these rivers been run
ning to the sea Did the nations of
the Old World need this continent?
They needed It enough, tut they were
not worthy to receive it. , We hesitate
not to say that if the nation which Is
to be shall not be better than the ma
jority of those that have' been, the re
sult will not justify the effort.. But
hope' says it will be better. Hence some
important events must precede the
building of a better nation. ,.
; "If we , consider the character of
those who became the permanent set
tlers of our Nation we clearly see that
Providence sifted the Old . World that
he, might have the best with which to
perfect his purpose. .
The speaker then recounted the ex
peditions and voyages of discovery
and settlement of the great powers,
iMiylng a warm tribute to the pilgrim
fathers. , ' '; - -- i
"The war of the American Revolu
tion, which resulted in the independ
ence of the American Colonies, again
illustrates the divine interposition in
behalf of this country, i ,
; : "Notice again the hand of Provi
dence in the result of the late Civil
War. -
i "But some one. will ask what will be
the future of this country? What will
it be in one hundred years? In five
hundred years? What wii. It be when:
it enjoys the best language In the
world the English the best blood In
the world the Anglo-Saxon with its
modifications of Celtic and Teutonic?
Whatywill it be when even now it is
the richest Nation In the world? What
will it be I cannot telL But I know
what H is. ' It is the queen of all the
earth. - . : .-,
