KEEP MY MEMORY GREEN.
My feet approach Life’s western slope,
Above me bend the noonday f-kie* ;
Beyond me spreads the realm of 1 lope,
Behind the land of m. mory lies.
I know uot what the years may bring
1 Of dangers wild, or j iys serene,
But turning to the east, 1 sing,
“Lord, keep my memory green.”
O land of winter and of bloom,
Of singing bird and moaning pine,
Thy golden light, lliy tender glean.
Thy vales and mountains nil are mine 1
Thy holy lov g of other years
With beck’ning hands toward me lean,
Ai d whisper through their filling tears,
“Lord, keep my memory green.”
Bear memory—whose unclouded eye
Can pierce ll.edaik st wilds of space—
I see her watch fires burning high,
1 feel her breezes fan my lac- 1 .
1 would not give the light she flings
Across my fu 1 lire’s laed-eipe scene
For all the pomp and power rf king* ;
“Lord, k<ep my memory gieeu.”
Let mi mory near my Soul abide,
With eye and vnic to warn and win,
Till Hope and Memory, side bv s d ,
Shall walk above the tides of sin ;
Fill from L'fe’s western lakes and rills
The angel lifts the sunset sheen
And hangs it o’er the eastern hills.
"Lord, keep my memory green.”

Lad its and Gentlemen :
Perhaps it would have been more pleasant
to many of you to-day to have li tened to
srme finished orator, who wi'h ornate ex
pression and soul-stirring sen'im nt would
have captivated you with the bursts of hie
eloquence, instead of hearing an humh]p dis
ciple of Coke and Bli ckstone, who, I fear
me, is but lit'le fitted lot the responsible po
sition you assign him.
Just one hundred years ago there lived in
the fine old city ot Gloucester, England, a
man whose name for a century has been hon
oted us the lounder of the Sunday-school.
At that period in the history of the world
'Pom Paine, the atheist, was building up in
France a republican infilelity which ulti
mately culminated in a chapter of gore arid
guillotine for that progressive people. Hor
atio Nelson, the soldier of the seas, was cen
tering his fl et and forces in the West Indies,
preparatory to the enactment of a tragic
scene of blood and battle, which w>»9 to ter
minate in the crowning victory of Trafalgar
George Washington, the “father of his coun
try,” was crystalizing the elements of the
Western world into a constitution for the
purpose o' founding a new nation, which was
to he recognized in the grand galaxy of gov
ernments as the American Republic —when
the Gloucester philanthropist, the imir.o tal
Robert Raikes, formed and framed the i tea
of laying the foundation of an organization
wirch was to permeate every avenue of
Christianity, and pcrpeluite his nurne and
and memory with a woik that has multiplied
its agents a million fold.
A hundred years have pissed away, and l
see beiore me to-day evidences of (he grand
woik which Rjbert Rakes institoted in th
year 1780 in this celebration ol the Heury
Coun'y Sunday-school Association, and as 1
look into the bright, sweet fuces of ray little
friends assembled here to-day, it thriils my
heart to know and feel that they have es
poo-ed a cause the bes', the purest and the
nob'est that wu9 ever heralded in the history
of man. A cause around which cluster
truths so lofty arid grand that no angel’s
HAMPTON, GA., FiNOAIf* AUGUST 27,• 1«SB.
wing has ever brush' d their summits —a faitlt
•o deep and profound that no archangel’s
power has ever fathomed its depths—a love
so broad and extended that only God alone
can grasp its infinite wealth.
I admire the Sunday-school. 1 honor its
teachers. I respect its instructions. There
is no other institution that so influences the
human heart to harmoirze itself with the
not dir anu better purposes of life, ami never
is the deeper and loftier natine of man so
stirred ns when he si s by the sacred altars of
the Sunday-school and f els the throbbing of
that divine love which streams trom Abe great
heart of God
One of the most devoted Christian* I ever
knew—a man whom it wis our proud p tv
ilege to love and honor—one whose locks
grew gray in the cause of Christ, and whose
vo cu like a spirit of prophecy has echoed
linn'and again from the nmuntains to the
seaboard id this State—when lile had well
worn its part and he lay him down to die, ns
the dieaiTH of the past came floating back
o’er the tides ol bis memory, ami just as God
was bid 'ing him to that better land, his pale
fertures fl tshed. his dimming eye grew brglit.
anil while a flood ol holy emotions swept
across his sou', he excl time ) in nil the iin
passioned eloquence of his nature : ‘ N ver
give up the Sunday school P D d you ever
stop, my friends to think of the dying words
of this Christian mnn T Though for years
lie had filled your pn'pits, and preached to
you, ns a people, 'he precepts of his faith,
yi t when he laid his tveary soul to rest upon
tiie gold- n heart of God, 'he great earnest of
his life found force and utterance in a sermon
of ix little words—‘Never give up the Sun
day school.” What a world of hope lies en
shrined in the language ! Never give up.
Though every road should he rugged, and
every way should be r. ugh, yet we should
ever be temembi ring that theie is sunshine
behind ev ry dark diy. Life lies before us
in all its pleasing prospects, but we mist not
expect to find it always bright and beautiful
Remember how truthfully the gifted I, <ng
lellow has suid—
‘ Our lot is the common !o' of nil t
Into each life some rain inu-t fall.’’
* ' TieitiQfi' rtTf-cf wj” i»f
not despair. Though dangers surround it*,
we must never give up. If Robet t R tikes
had faltered in the streets of Gloucester he
never would have font <h il the organization
which you represent. R member the darkest
hour is just before the dawn. Too brightest
flash bur«ts front the bosom of the blackest
cloud The opal hued morn with her beam
ing robes comes glittering up th E ist from
the deeps of darkness. The stirs gleam
brighter through the cable curtains of the
night. The purest pearls coni' from th»-
ravless depths of the roiling seas. The ver
nal flowers are breathed into b auty by the
alchemy of winter’s frosty lips. The noblest
idea is born from the hardest thought. The
grandest truths grow brighter amid the
shadows of ignorance and superstition. And
so with life and its results. Though its bat
ties may be bloo ly— though its struggles
may be severe—though its b iglit sun may
be dimmed —yet “every c'oud has it* silver
liniog,” and iD meeting the frowns of fate we
should face th m manfully, and lei the issues
prove to the world that our spirit* are en
dowed with a deuth'ess divinity, unconquer
able in its determination and unapproachable
in its re-nits.
The genius of history lea 1* me back to a
thrilling seine that eccuired in the war of
1812 The brave commander of the ‘Ches
apeake” received a challenge from a British
brig to enter into a naval engagement. The
action was brief, and amid the carnage ami
confusion of the battle the gallant captain
was shot down. As his crimon life blood
ebbed away hi* !a*t c unmatid rang out over
the shrieking ot shells, the clash of conflict
and the din of death : ‘1) >u’t give up the
sh'p.” What a world of patriotism clusters
around the song of the dying sai or—■“ Don’t
give up the ship ’’ Though ymr mizzen
masts may be shattered into a thou* n )
si linters—though your halyards may be torn
into a thousand fragments—though your
sails may be stripp d into a thousand shreds
—yet “don’t give up the ship ” Ui ! how
the dying words of the gallant Lawrence has
moved the arm aid h art of mtuy a patriot
to battle for his country’s cause. So, too.
should the last words of your beloved Bish
op, the dead Andrew, speak volumes of en
couragemcnt to the heart ol the Christian
soldier, as clad in the fl t-hing panoply of
truth be marches on eoi queriog and to con
quer, his banners kissii g the bret z s ol
heave i with their golden device, ‘ Never give
up the Sunday-schools.”
We should not give up the .Sun lav-school,
because it i* the cahoot of m rality. It
makes no differ*nee whether a man is born
in a castle or a cabin. no difler
ence whether he wears robes or rag*, it makes

Several years ago I stood above the. noisy

sight. The silvery spray which encircled
the cataracts, kisse l by sunbeams, blossom
ed into rainbows until the scene w is a blusii

on wings of wind, und the thundering cas

We shoal 1 no' give up the Sunday-school,
