sweetest in my life. I have been en
gaged in the work-1 loved, and with
friends that have co-operated with me
in every way possible. Of the things
which have come to me in the past,
not one of them has given one-half
the pleasure that your action tonight
gives. I thank you for it. I say 1;
thank you, I more thanthank you, and
may God's blessings rest upon you as
a body, and as individuals, and on this
city which is in your fostering care."
