The oldest living member, who for fifty-five years has enjoyed the privi leges of this Soeiefy, rejoices that he is once more jienuitted to meet with is now addressing yon. 1 eon grwtalate you cm tbe success of Ibis Society in its mission ot humanity, education, charity and mercy. There are several reasons why we should remember the character of our fare- fathers, the founder* of this Associa tion. First: The founders of oar So ciety were men of integrity. They came from Germany, and brought With them habits'which belonged to the German character as it tlien was, before it hod beta corrupted by mod cm infidelity. They had been in structed by Luther and Melanctbou. They were men of purity of character. Although not educated in the srhohir- sliip nod teaming of their native land, fbey fuliy appreciated the value of education, aud did all they could, when they came here, to educate their sons and daughters: ami the School of the German Friendly 80- eiety, flourishing far a long number of years, gave abundant evidnnee of their earnest desire to promote useful knowledge among meg. They were men of great industry—not learned inen—but artisans, mechunies, farm Ss, ami pbmtere. They advanced, not only the interest of their own families, but also those of their coun try. Tbe Hngneuots who came over some years liefore them, acre more numerous anil became a very imjsir- taut branch of this new Society, bat in point of charactet the Gannons were not one whit behind them. They were patriots. They loved their adopted country. It is tree they were called “rebels,” bat they re garded nut this { they (ought bravely, sod their .captain fell at the siege of Savannah. They uniformly adhered to their Southern land, and are still fnitfcful. (Loud and eon tinned ap plause.) They adhered totheinterret erf,religion. The}- brought from Gcr many their Bibles and their Lutheran hymn bookstand soon built their own xar^“ lurch. Creator, to government the church his asked what bare will read Ives, and it laafl superfluous, to make any comments, but the temptation to expose the shameful perversion of troth and the malicious and running fnbrire|l«i of farts, fa tea much far us. We aaoeomb, notice this priest’s answer to tbe Protestant charge that Rome is inimical t# progress. “Had it not bean far me, your aAGesture would hare still been in a state of bar barism.” It reminds as of tbe goes tion once asked .- “Where was your religion before lather!” To which the Protestant's answer was: “Where youre never was, in the Bible.” What progress ban Mexico made f Why ia the Kingdom of Itnly diatayal to tbe Choreh t Why has the head of the ItBsaiiih Chareh to ha protect ed in his awn dty, and ia his own chair by French bnyonets f Are not the bandits that, now wa are wrttiug, are iwarmitig in the patrimony af He Peter, faithful sons of tbe Cathode Chareh f Ia there any progress In ail thisf We admit though there is enme truth in tbe answer given by this priest. But the Greek Chareh ia older than the Chareh ot Home, and the Greek Chareh has realty done aa much for rivilixarton as Home has. And the real truth ia that the civiHaatisn af the present sge has been effected in spite at the i’sflntMe Chnreb. !» The lecturer said: wtlie CathoMe Church had always battled for the rights of man.” Hr can’t have read J the history of the laqutailion; he . innst never hare heard of the Tli Irty Year’s War, and the TGght of fit.

There are plants, my brethren, which lire for many year* w it boot producing a single blosaom—their lot seems to be one of barren growth —generations of leaves bud forth, flourish and wither: Mew stalk* and branches sprout year by year, still no indication is seen of ttisse fairest ornaments which form the crown and glory of the vegetable world*—no flower, no promise of fruit. At tength, the slow preparative of many years Is brought to light—the flower nppeara. A lew hours of transient beauty and honor repay 1 past and tedious cultivation, and with the production of its long matnr Ing growth the destinies of the plMt are closed, it withers to rim no more.

The unmooring of a frail bark from its earth side anchorage, for tbe purpose af sailing tire great unknown ocean of eternity, was suddenly turned by heaven's most mysterious breeze to drift into tire offing of your warm aud ample hearts a year ago. It waa uot a little boot adrift upou the treacherous deep with a precious cargo to be token up and saved. It waa uot a wauderiug craft shipwreck ed on some vicious shoal, and founder lug without compass, or helm or df- rartioa. But it was a pilot boat, worse for weather, but still a pilot, answering your signal of desire, and yeUdisg to the currant of Providence ’ —prow towards you nothing loth. Since “a year ago,” the frail thing r . ( that carried the “pilot" has drifted » sway,, and s goodly vessel stems tire main, and head* towards the high lands—the Dover Cliffa of the heavenly port. Such have been the changes since a year ago. Then, iu the morniug hour we bowed before God ia this church with hands and hearts up lifted, and breathed a common prayer that grace aught flow betweeo our hearts. Our eyes met iu kindness, sod holy tears were sited, a year ago. Your hands were warm to grasp a strangers, and your heart* were iu your bauds, a year ago.
