Every profession, every department of trade, industry and commerce, every section of invention and applied science, every field of adventure and daring, tvrey phase of literture and journalism, every new movement in social reform and national progr< ss, stands heav¬ ily indebted to them, and every¬ where they continue to take their large share of‘the white man.s burden-’* They fouded the vast majority of schools, academies ana colleges known iu this land up to the second decade of the last century. The bench has been crowned by then noble lawyers, the pulpits have been filled by their great preach ers, the progressive cities of (he land , . known , them ,, their , . ever as most successful citizens Fulton, Henry and McCormick speak for them as discoverers and inventors; McDowell and Hayes Agnew as surgeon; Medill, Bonner, McClure, Mc Kelway and Creelv as journal¬ ists ; Stuart and Patterson as bankers • Hoge and Hall as preachers; Madison, Jackson, Harrison and Mckinley asp’ esi dents. They have ever been the guardians of law and order; they have furnished our homes with some of the sweetest and purest of mothers; education their constant pride and aim, has been developed by them; law, medicine and theology have been advanced by them, and the entire political tual and moral lifeof the nation uplifted by them.
