the words of Lincoln, hope that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, may not perish from the earth."

Will we keep it untarnished and add to its luster, or will its brilliance be smirched by our guardian ship? These are questions, pertinent to everyone.

Who shall say that when the Euro pean column shall have mouldered and the night of barbar ism obscures its very ruins, that mighty continent may not emerge from the horizon, to rule for its time, sovereign of the Ascendant." • The Finding of a Jewel.
