Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Exhibitions: Their True Function in Connection With Industrial Education It is a great honor and pleasure to me to have been chosen to speak to you this evening. The rule of our Association is, I believe, that whoever gives the trien nial address must be a member. N OW membership in this Association implies that the person must be either a mechanic or an object Of charity; 'i am not a me chanic according to the customary use Of that word, and I hope I am not yet an object of charity. How then Shall I justify you in having admitted me? My life has been identified with the spinning and weaving of cotton cloth; that would constitute me in common speech a manufacturer, and would relegate me to the company at the other end of the avenue; but much as I honor the living and the dead to whom that great enterprise owes its existence I yet prefer your com pany. The Lord do so to me, and more also, If aught but death part you and me. And by you will I be buried. But where, then, is your justification? If I am neither mechanic nor, as yet, an Object of charity, what business have I to be a member of this Associa tion? I Will assert and prove my rights.
