Excerpt from Saratoga and Kay-Ad-Ros-Se-Ra: An Historical Address

We meet to-day, on this anniversary of our nation's birth, under no ordinary circumstances.

Last evening's sun, as it slowly sank in glory behind the western hills, marked the closing hours of the first century of our nation's life.

Since the fathers of our republic met in Independence Hall, and, proclaiming liberty to all the land, made this day of the year forever memorable in the annals of the world, a hundred years have passed away.

And now that we have reached one of Time's moun tain-peaks, it is well for us to pause for a few brief mo ments upon its summit, and look back over the weary way which we have been traveling, into the Past, before we press forward again with eager steps into the vale of the shadowy Future which lies forever so invitingly before us.
