890 WISCONSIN AGEICULTUEE. 



Finally, as members of the great industrial classes of this con 

 tinent, where the reign of work has achieved its noblest triumphs 

 over the reign of war, and of words,, we ought never to rest until 

 we have founded and perfected for ourselves the noblest institu- 

 tions of science and of art ; developing and exhibiting in our own 

 ranks, and pursuits, the broadest and the deepest intelligence — 

 the most profound and practical philosophy — the brightest and 

 purest examples of true christian patriotism, philanthrophy and 

 piety — in a word, the loftiest and noblest style of christian man- 

 hood, that earth and time have ever seen. Then, and not till 

 then, shall the reign of work be complete, and the morning 

 stars sing together again, and all the sons of God shout for joy, 

 because "the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the 

 kingdom, under the whole heaven is given to the true people of 

 the most High," securing "peace on eaith, and good will to man, 

 and glory to God in the highest ;" giving to the reign of work 

 its final and everlasting triumph over the reign of war and 

 words. 



God grant that this kingdom may speedily, truly and fully 



come. 



Friends, brothers, fellow-citizens, let us all. labor, and if need 



be, suffer for its advance..
