as It was given them to see the right,
belonged both te the men of the North
and to the men of the South.
"As the years roll by, and as all of

oven better schools, will greatly avail.
"Tho forces aud Institutions that

way to preserve ideals for private con

"Tho church has great power of

understand that It is vitally Important
to stand behind the rural church and
to kelp it become a great power In de

which passed In review before Presi

history it will, In addition to being
second in size, have many distinctive

heretofore, nnd the fireworks dtsnlav.
It is claimed, will be the most remnrk-

More attention has been given this year
to the decorative scheme both by day
and by night, nnd visitors who have
attended previous inaugurals will wit
ness something entirely new in this
line. Careful work on the part of the
various committees will provide, to all
Intents and purposes, against over
charging, and more attention will be
paid this year to the comfort of the
thousands than on like occasions In the
past. While the Inaugural ceremonies
will be marked by the irrentest sim
