gratulate you that you are to b the host

yon have my best wisnes.
“I congratulate you upon tho noble
work iu which you aro engaged and the
great results which have followed your
efforts. Truth serves civilization. There
is nothing that lasts so long or wears so
well and is ot such inestimable advant
age to the possessor as .high character

“I do not know whether it :s true that
every man is the architect of his own
fortune, but surely every man is the
architect of his own character. It is

With our churches, our Young Men’s
Christian association, our various church
societies, every assistance is given for
righteous living ami righteous doing.
It is no longer a drnwuack to the pro

"There never was in all the past such
