Japan, and Togo is actuated to he a
great man, but i have seen more In-
blime acts of courage since i have
come to America than any which this
war has shown. Only yesterday was
buried the body of William Hour and
his chief mourn‘er was James Rica,
both of them industrial heroes. Only
the other day in the horror of a rail-
way accident the engineer was thrown
for up on the hillside from his wreck-
ed engine. Down that hillside came
the cry “1 am scolded to death. but for
God's sake ting the eitpress."
lam died to the brim with admira-
tion for those industrial heroes of Amc-'
rica. Togo is great but the American
industrial hero is greater. and he is
raised and natured in just such insti-
tutions as your Lamont Club.
Mr, Bruce then spoke at length upon
the inspiration which ho had revolv-
ed from the writings of Robert Louis
Stevenson and closed by reciting a
stanza of one of his poems. Mr. Bruce
was most heartily applauded at the
close of his speech.
Toastmaster Layton then Introduced
Clinton 13. Rowland, who responded to
the toast "The Lamont Club." Mr.
Rowland traced the history of the club
from small beginnings when the mom
bars were boys at school and they;
were first taught the precepts oft
church and school by Miss Charlotte;
Lamont. lie alluded touchingly to the:
advent into the city of Frank A. For»
ris, and the methods of the club since
his interest has been so great in it and
his influence so‘powerful. lie then told
of the progress which the club had
made since Hon. Seymour C. Palmer
became its president, and, expressed
the gratitude of the club at having
three such friends as Messrs l-‘crris.
Palmer and Bruce.
The next speaker was S. C. Palmer,
who very modestly declined to say
more than a few words. explaining that
he would have a chance to do so at
some other time and would probably
bore them enough then. Though all
would have been very glad to have an
extended speech from Mr. Palmer. he
made his remarks very brief.
Toastmaster Layton presentod ltcv.
Lewin Frank Bueii. D. D.. the now pas- i
tor of the church. Mr. Buell made a?
brief speech. in which he stated that f
Mr. Ferris was one oiltiie attractions;
which helped to bring him to South:
Norwalk, and be felt it a pity that these
men could not be kept here in some.
way. He expressed appreciation of ”to .
work which the Lamont Club is doing.‘
. Rev. George 1'). Egbert. who is wle-'
known as a witty after-dinner speaker.
was then introduced by Toastmaster
Layton. Mr, Egbert said that he did
not know that be. really ought to speak
very long, and called to mind the story
of a man who dropped down In the
streets of Paris. and was taken to the‘
hospital for an operation. When he was
made ready for the operation
found the words tattooed on his chest: ‘
“l have already had three appendices;
removed. please operate no further.“
He felt that as there had been so many
speakers that he should not continue.!
He stated. however, that Norwalk as,
well as South Norwalk. claimed Mr.
Ferris. and that the influence of liisI
good works had been felt there as well. ‘.
lie greatly admired Mr, Ferris' benev«_
olencee in the work of training young,
men. and brought out strongly the!
point that what benefits one of the"
communities bcnetlts both of them. '
The next speaker was Rev. W. W. '1‘.I
Duncan. of the Methodist Episcopal;
Church. Mr. Duncan told a very goody
story about Daniel in the lion’s (lend
tag so remarked: "if there is going‘doi
be any afterdlnncr speaking. it is cer-
tain that i shall be left out." lie stated
that the good works of men like Mr.
Ferris were (cit in all denominations.
and that the influence of the Lamont
Club is felt by all. The whole‘com-
niunlty will regret exceedingly the fact
that these men are to leave it. He
showed. however, thit while we of
South him-walk ,must feel sorry at los-
ing‘ them. that. it'must be remembered
and realized that other communities
will benefit by their presence, and that
their influence will still remain here.
Toastmaster Layton introduced Char-
les E. Jennings, the president ofthe
Jennings Club. who spoke for the or-
ganization which he represents. and
told of the influence which Mr. Ferris,
Mr. Bruce, Mr. Palmer. and the other
members of the Lamont Club had had
and on the whole community. not nec~
essarily directly. but in a great men»
sure directly, and that this influence
will be long felt in the community.
