Speaker ALI. CONN. WEDNESDAY. GPOBER 18,1928. were the spirits that pushed forward in men's conquest of the earth ito self. And at last upon the shore of the great Atlantic came the fateful pause of Western quest. Then civil- isation. then nomsn dominion. then government. then art and science penetrated the minds and souls of these 'people until all of Western Europe had felt the influence of Grecian and Roman learning and of Christian civilisation. “For unknown centuries the. mighty waste of waters had fronted the gaso of the hardy Europeans of the civilised lands upon the Contin- ent. And the breeding deep. that seemingly illimltsble ocean. with its fierce outbursts of storm and peril. had triads the bravest pause before attempting to_sclve the question of its further shores. Biron". gray. green or blue lt‘ley. now peaceful as s. summer's eve. now gently caress- ing the shores. but anon roaring. tossing and fesrful‘to behold in the power of the tempest that. hurled wreck and ruin along the coasts and seized to hold forever in ocean caves the ships and men lured be- yond their safety. “Before. it. vest. unknown. to hué man minds unending all onward quest of the West had paused. Civ- llisation's advance was checked. Europe was perforce self contained Her confines were marked by the grip of the mighty sea. The yearn- ings 0: her hardy children for new experiences that in war. conquest. raid or commerce had made her his- tory alternately red with the scar- let gleam of human blood and white with tho sanctifying light of the Cross were not satisfied but stilled by that mighty deep. “But it was not destined that the barrier should forever remain im- penetrable. God willed that human fortitude should break away the mystery of the ages. From Genes the navigator Columbus, filled with the dream of beating a path across the waste. set forth to sway princes to outfit an expedition. "Rejected. spurned. regarded as a visionary. his appeals were denied by Italy. Portugal. France. and England even in Spain at first. Re- duced to the scantlest means. he at last engaged the attention of a friendly monk who gave him shelt- er. and through the monk gained audience with the Catholic Queen. Isabella of Castile. Through her be- neficence the way of equipment was found. The three tiny vessels were outfitted. The sailors with many misgivings. were induced to ship. the little fleet sailed from Palos on Au- gust 3. 1492, end the world-making voyage had begun. But. oh. the days of anxious waiting—the nights of solitary vigil. The fearaof the sail- ors increased from day to day. The doubts of the officers in the Ad- miral intensified.' The days passed into weeks. the weeks into months. the very stars that men had known from boyhood had left the heavens and still the shoreless sea stretched i To in the one direction that seemed to have no end. Behind was home. the scene of childhood and the memories that make life deer. Ahead was ever the deep. blue. unending sea. The men wept with drekd. They be- sought thd Admiral to turn back up- on his course. They prayed for re- lief. They doubted. they despeired. And he. the solitary figure in that group of despairing men! Why. he had found that even the faithful needle was no longer true. its north was not. the north to which it ever pointed before. Far as the men thought they were to the west. he knew they were farther still. He had to reckon with the timidity and cowardice of his crew. He falsified the daily record to make it seem that the distance traveled was not so great. but kept the true record in a secret memorandum. Alone. he stood upon the deck. alone in his hope. alone in his unwavering faith of land to be reached. "That figure of transcendent courage. that deuntless faith in the mercy of Go and in the truth of his calculations, hst single-hearted. un- shaksble mariner upon the untried sees. dominating a rebellious and despairing crew. is a vital inspiring picture of the man of faith. an un- dying vision of the highest courage. a symbol of the apostolic spirit of the ages. “Superior to every vicissitude. conquering every extraneous fear. the Admirel's determination sent the ships on and over on. And through. the dark of s. long-waited night. came the gray dawn of s new morning. Over the see shone a light in the West. a light of hope. a light of a new world. a world that morn- ing brought before the adventurers of the deep and crowned with the radiant sunshine of October 12. the brow of him who had made the conquest of the sons who ‘had blazed a pathway across the Atlantic. who had conquered s new and an old world by his wonderous faith and his courageous soul. “The sea was conquered. The new world had been found. The way was opened to the brave hearts that sought new empire, hope. opportuni- ty. The nations of Europe sent pioneers. came adventurers. mission- aries. explorers. settlers. Here they builded a new country. Here they conquered forest. hardships. diffi- culties. Here they breathed freedom. Here they developed new and grest~ cr ideals of government. Here they sought liberty and by blood and suf- fering, sacrifice and death. they erected our republic of the free. our great country that calls to the na- tions of the earth to try government of the people. to equality before the law. Here the humbiest may seek and capture the heights. Here we welcome the advance of our great composite American people to the maintenance and lasting inspiration of a republic of the free. builded by the people of many creeds and ne- tions. united. for the common good. Here we rejoice this Columbus Day upon the achievement of Columbus l who opened the western world to the hopes and betterment of man." The Guests. Seated at the head table were Judge William F.
