-%efrld to a better, higher and . more
nouned citizens was next called up
ggT*n: Mr. J. L. Pell.
? ? In ft brief but most eloquent aid
\ .dress fit. Bell pointed out the stotid
> fast unswerving1 loyalty to a?i id4*l
that Wopdrow Wilson possessed. He
also reviewed t$e ex-president's
life in a brief but thorough manner.
He pointed out how Mr. Wilson
had swept aside the cobwebs of sev
*' ,L ' eral centuries from the old fashion
ed ideas that were hampering the'
gfeat University of Princeton. > He
explained that Mr.' Wilson, refused
\ (when , he. became President- of this
i,: great College) to have two or more
c>asses; the rich and poor' were all
alike to him and in his- Conception
of what any 'American Institution
j,-' should adppt. He spoke ot- the
great record the Ex-President made
by the passing1 of more sane, invisj
bje and humane laws as governor of
.NVw Jersey than had ever beei
known by' any other administration.
? He reviewed his great and mns
terful 'handling of the ship o*\ the
.United States during his first four
years, as President., How everything'
Was done that Was tjumanly possible
to keep this great , nation neutral
and that -"when at last the Unitec
States did go' to war, that this g-rea
ntan had passed the conscription
act which ' was one of the
fairest and most democratic lawr
ever adopted- by any country
throughout all history, a law tha'
treated the rich and poor, black and
white, all .alike, in drafting the
trianSo<id,f)of tWa 'great nation, to
actually st6f>" the most stupendous
carnage and human slaughter
ever1 known throughout the ages,
.< It Would be impossible to explain
in sjiich short spac$ the/ intense in
terest and inovation ?? that was
wrought by the interrogation that
Mr. Bell gave of the internationally
beloved world hero in his summing
tip of Mr, Wilson's death bed utter
ance: "I am Rfeady."
. Mr. Bell asked his audience if
they were ready to carry on the
magnificent ideals of the War Presi
dent and he pointed oift that Wood
row Wilson was ever Ready.
Miss Cora Lee Tyner spoke, a few
sehtences in behalf of Mr. -Wilson.
She pointed out: his uhswerying
loyalty to an ideal, even against the :
most bitter persecution, the most in
tense antagonism and the terrible
bitterness of hts jealous enemies.
The* principles for , which he
Bff^stood' grew tn' afi'ength * find "d? '
termination hour- by hour if he Was
convinced that the' ideal < was the
right course and for the betterment
of humanity.
Pjrofi T. C. Henderson spoke a
few, but thrilling words fotr the^esfc,
President and promised to address
the children at, an early date upon
the great man that had led the peo
ple of 'the world ouV of the Wilder
nea?T f f. n
Mr. T. H. Galloway gave a most
Wonderful and glowing address up
on the God-fearing world leader and
paid one of the finest tributes to
the .memory of Mr. Wilson that
could possibly be given by any -or
ator of the present day. .He remark
ed that he would never be' able to
forgive himself unlefes he could at
this timi pay tribute to the m03t
intellectual and moral, leader that
the creator has given to this world
in a great many years. .
Every- orator, every prayer, 'every
song and the whole memorial sery
iee seemed to be inspired by the
spiritual atmosphere of Woodrow
Wiisotv , # "
Not' a sentence Was made by' any
uttered that did n6t ring true as if
drawn. from the very heart and soul
of the speaker.
Many of those who gave utter
ance to their love of the War Presi
jdent had never been so stirred or/so
'enraptured with their subject in all
fiheir long histor of speech nvak- 1
jng.
Rev. John Hay gave the Bene
diction' and Mrs. Simons,, the piano
igt, played a sweet, sad- soulstirKng
funeral march.

PASSING OF THE EX-PRESIDENT. \
The curtain hak tfeen run dpwii.upon the la3t scene of a
sterling actor upon the stage of' life. Nearly two thousand
years ago it was written by the greatest of all apostles that he
who would strive for 'the mastery must strive honorably if he I1
would be crowned.
/ This conception of life by, the great' divine found
a counterpart in the life and character of Woodrow Wilson.
In paying my humble tribute to his memory I would not carve
from the marble the figure of a mere man, but take from the
heartS|Of the American people their passionate love for him
and placeT it against the canopy ."of the heavens that coming
generations might see and appreciate the wonderful achieve
ments he wrought for humanity.
History will record W.oodrow' Wilson as the greatest
American president./ He lived to serve and literally spent his
life in an Bfimest endeavor 'to make the world a fit place in
which to live. He is as much a casualty of the World War as
the bravest soldier who fell 'on the field of battle. But like
the great disciple of the Gentle World, who lived and served
centuries ago, he leaves behind him this message: "I have
fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept
the faith."
?
America today mourns the loss of the greatest exponent
of things ennobling known $o this, or any other period in the
history of the Country.

THE VIRGINIA GIRLS.
A SINGING ORCHESTRA
Replete with the melod:es that
have made the south the home of
the heart of songs of the American
people, and with a musicianship
that would do credit to many of the
chamber music organizations of our
country, the program rendered by
the Virginia Girls establishes a new
standard in lyceum and chautauqua
music.
The instrumentation is musically
correct and is of all stringed instru
ments. But this does not mean
that the entire program is of a
"h'gh brow" order. Readings are
introduced, not "so so" readings, or
make-shift selections, but readings
f a distinctiveness and style which
vovl.i do credit to a full reading
nrogram. Snnes are interspersed
