Francis of the exposition, who requested the audience to rise while Rev. Frank M. Gunsaulu of Chicago delivered the Invocation. President Francis'' Address. Dr. Qunsaulus concluded his eloquent In vocation with the Lord's Prayer. In which the audience Joined. President Francis, as the chief executive ot the exposition, then delivered an address, saying: Six years have passed since the concep tion began to assume form: The move ment has enlarged In scope from day to day and taken on more definite shape from year to year. Discouragements were fre quent enough, but were never dishearten ing, and are now all forgotten. We remem ber only the words of cheer and commenda tion, the iiatient consideration given to what was often looked upon as misdirected enthusiasm, but which was persisted In, and almost lnvarlatily converted Indiffer ence or scepticism Into helpful and active Interest. The sincere and helpful Interest of the federal government, the unanimous co-operation of the states and territories and possessions of the United States, the participation of almost every country on the earth. Is evidence of the wisdom and thoroughness of the work of exploitation and establishes unquestionably the univer sal character of the exposition. Han the aonsummatton risen to the full measure of the ambitious plan outlined at the Inception of the enterprise? Has the lofty sentiment that Innplred the cele bration found a realising embodiment In the picture you behold? Does the exhi bition of man'e handiwork here Installed faithfully portray his progress and develop ment? Does this assembling of the best firoducts of all the ages, brought together n friendly rivalry by nationalities and rnrea differlna in faith and Inhabit and in Ideals, form a correct composite of man's achievements; or tne advancement or science; of the thought of the 'wentleth i-nnlurvt tf an. this universal exnosltlon is more than an exhibition of products, or even of processess; It is more than a congregating ot the graaes or civilisation as represented by all races from the primitive to the cultured; It Is even more than a symposium of the thought of the thrones, of the student and the moralist. It I all of these combined, and will have a place In history, more conspicuous than It projector ever conceived. . Francis Gets the Keys. At the conclusion of his address Presi dent Francl recognised William H. Thompson of the committee on (rounds and buildings, who presented to President Francis, Iaao S. Taylor, the director of work.
