Excerpt from Speech of President Eliot for Aid in the Preservation of the Old South Meeting-House

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, Since I last came here in this cause, a year ago, great progress has been made in the enterprise. Some obstacles have been removed by time and events.

They have given to the enterprise much more in proportion to their means than they ask the State to give.
