Worthy Master's -Address.
We, the people of -the United( Na
tion of the Worlds have lived hard
er, moved faster, climber higher, and
wrought more gloriously in- the last
twenty-five years thin in any one to
tal century since dawn first smiled
upon the bleak raw universe. In all
the epochs of time from thai famous
garden party in Eden, man-kind nev
er before aimed so high, planned so
broadly or achievd so splendidly. We
know the schedule of the Comets and
the age of the stars. We have become
fishermen and birdmen. We swirl I
like eagles triumphantly in the face,
of the sun. We have replaced living
beasts of burden " with throbbing,
whirling steeds of steel.' The hate
ful, merciless battalions of plague
and pestilence no longer creep with
in oar wails. " With microscope and
antieceptk, science is '' devastating
the hords which -once played greater
havoc than the sword. The legends
of tradition, .song and story are trite
and commonplace compared with the
