SENSE AND NONSENSE. 11 of our Union will bear an impress of this picture in their own lives, and upon this foundation-rock of many a character will be traced with a pen of iron the influence of Samuel D. Jones. So in pure love and gratitude we bring this volume, not as a literary but as a heart offering, and lay it reverently at his feet. Since writing the above the news of Mr. Jones’s resignation has fallen like a bombshell among us. It is the one fell blow that severs many a connection with the hub of our tender associations, and at the moment of completest triumph shrouds in a mist of doubt, prospects that were glowing. It is with deep regret that we see the Institute like a ship without a pilot, sailing under a flag of distress. While the loss is incalculable and we know full well another Mr. Jones can not be procured, we earnestly hope that the Trustees may again show that wisdom that they exercised when they elected Mr. Jones our President, and at least get the next best man. We can not write those things that we keenly feel in regard to the severance of Mr. and Mrs. Jones from us. Pens have never yet probed the depths of emotion, and those sentiments that are here feebly expressed are but the surface depths of our real sorrow and regret. And we simply bid them God-speed in their future course, knowing full well that they both deserve whatever befalls them of the best and brightest of fortune’s store. And for them and their family let me say, “ In your heavens may there be no clouds, or if some there be, may they have the color and the odor of roses, — Be in good health and happiness.” K. P. C.
