Bishop Ransom's 'erudition, and great accomplishments^ for the race, both within, and without the church, makes assurnneeii doubly that affairs, appertaining to' Allen, will be allowed neither merely to mark time nor to take any steps backward.

And, ^y illustrations".most apt, he most successfully showed,' and stressed, that in terms of imperishable and lasting values, the life that is lived in the spirit of, and .in accordance with the ideals of the Christ, is the only rOally worthwhile life to live. The intense' earnestness of the speaker and the evident sincerity of his utterances, together with" the wholesome subject maffer, made this address truly, a great one.
