Excerpt from Oration: Delivered Before the City Council and Citizens of Lowell, December 22, 1876 The pupils of both departments of the High School responded with alacrity to the Committee's invitation. More than three hundred of them attended, with their Principal, Mr. Charles C. Chase, and the singing by them of various patriotic and devotional pieces, under Mr. George F. Willey, Teacher of Music in the Public Schools, gave variety and increased interest to the exercises. "Amidst the storm they sang, And the stars sang, and the sea" - as they sang on the night of the Landing - though here no star was visible, and no sea audible, as there may have been - "When a band of exiles moored their bark On the wild New England shore." The Rev. Charles D. Barrows, Pastor of the Kirk Street Congregational Church, read the following selections from the Scriptures, which are here printed according to the "Geneva Version, " the translation with which the Pilgrims were most familiar: - Scripture Readings by Mr. Barrows. Blessed be the man that trusteth in the Lord and whose hope the Lord is. For hee shal be as a tree that is planted by the water, which spreadeth out her roots by the riuer, it shal not feele when the heate commeth, but her leafe shal be greene and shal not care for the yeere of drought, neither shal cease from yeelding fruit. The Lord had said unto Abram. Get thee out of thy countreey and from thy kinred and from thy father's house unto the land that I will shew thee. And I will make of thee a great nation and I will blesse thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing. For I knowe him that he will commaund his sonnes and his housholde after him that they keepe the way of the Lord, to doe righteousnesse and judgment that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that he hath spoken unto him.
