wheeling into the ranks of free and independent citizenship ;
standing, as should every one in our beloved land, upon intrinsic
worth. Much of this is due to the steadfast friendship and un-
ceasing efforts of this and kindred associations, encouraged and
strengthened by the labors of the friends of human rights and
human progress, who laid the broad foundations of their prin-
ciples in the unerring dictates of truth.

If we discover that there remains any further work for us in
this portion of the Master’s vineyard, let us make haste to carry
it forward till every vinelet has received its proper culture, and
is made to bring forth ripe clusters at the harvest, which shall
redound to the praise of the great Husbandman.

These thirsty travellers on the highway of life are calling for
the pure fountain of knowledge, erying for but a single drop to
quench the burning of that desire to know more which consumes
their lives.. Let us not turn a deaf ear to these wants, but from
the abundance with which we have been blessed spare something
to further the cause in which we have been so signally successful
—the elevation and education of the Freedmen.
