...President then introduced the chorister, Mr. S. H. Jecko, who responded with "Lowlands," the chorus of which was rendered with great spirit by all present.

But it would not alone be absurd; it would be pernicious as well. Indeed, it is an objection that holds as well against the discussion of the question as against the pledge, that some men in defiance...
