Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Adjourned Meeting of the National Congress on Uniform Divorce Laws: Held at Philadelphia, Pa;, November 13, 1906 The President: The Mayor of the city, who was to have been with us and make an address of welcome on behalf of the city of Philadelphia, is unfortunately confined to his home by illness; but he has sent here to represent him Dr. Coplin, the head of the Department of Public Health and Charities, who will make that address in his behalf. Address Of Welcome By Dr. W. M. L. Coplin: Mr. President and Gentlemen of this Congress: The number of delegates representing this great country of ours should be welcomed by some one better fitted than a delegate from our Mayor. I come to you, however, from the sick room, bearing the warmest greeting to you all, and the assurance of the Mayors sincere regret at his inability to be with you. A welcome to the city of Philadelphia must, at all times and on all occasions, be little more than superfluous. Our history is the history of the greatest republic that the world has ever known. Within our walls, which are God´s open air, there was born all that we know of the elements of human freedom exemplified in this great country of ours. Our traditions are dear to every American heart, and the Philadelphian who does not feel proud of his city were worse off than the Roman who ignored the glory of his country. Now, to that city, that city of homes, which you gentlemen propose to guard, propose to formulate laws for the proper protection of, that city having a larger number of homes than any other city on God´s footstool, I offer you, not simply on the part of the administration of the city, not simply on the part of the Department of Health and Charities, of which I have the honor to be the head, but on the part of all the people of the great city looking to your deliberations, looking to the results of the thought of leading men of the country for a proper solution of this most intricate problem - from one and all of these 1 bring you a most hearty welcome. The city is now in a part of its beauty. A little earlier you would have seen the Park, you would have seen something of the public squares, probably brighter than they are now. But melancholy autumn has decked our woods with garlands of wondrous colors. Independence Hall stands as a treasure, beautiful as she will always be. Our buildings, our great University, our schools, our eleemosynary institutions, all of them creditable, I think, are all of them open to your investigation, for your study.
