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.
