George Biddle read the follows ing brief paper on Individuality: ! No two blades of grass, two grains of sand, or two flowers, are exactly alike; it is equally so that no two persons are exactly alike. It is not probable that we shall ever lose our own individual- ity, for if we did it would really be the destruction of our personal iden- tity, and without personal _idemtity there. would be for us no ortalit; Now since we are, above all things else, individuals, let us each and every one’ be at our very best: every one known in history as a leader, whetht for good or bad, are known us men or women of marked Individuality: their mental, moral ang even physical make- up has been peeullar to themselves, This marked individuality is not even destroyed by grace, and we very much doubt if it is by death. The practical duty is for each one of us to strive to be our best and noblest self; not aiming to be like anyone els but Christ. Let us make a full su render of ourselves to God. Let us individually bring oyrselves to_the foot of the cross of infinite sac- rifice, there every stain may be washed away in blood;” purged with fire from off God's altar; then we may go forth, one of us'in our divinely appoint- place, to do for the Fesamerstion of humanity what God from * Zoundation of ihe world” destined chat should do. I believe there is a true and nobls =elf in the most degraded; In each ons of us there is & noble self struggling T a hearing, for greater freadom ot on, for a nearer .approach Christ, its Creator, Redesmer and s our- cleansed the blood of nu Infinite Sacrifice, as we live the life In union with God which He from all eternity e ol £ s officers of the lyceum m as fol- lows: President, Thompson; Yice ‘president, ' Fred secre- tary, Jemes Green; trn.nnr, Speed = £ | the atmosphere of SUIT FOR SERVICES TO HER GRANDFATHER. e on Trial in Superior Court— Plaintiff is Flora A.
