who is transient—this organization is like a rock mid-sea, and

Though lightnings glare in the midnight sky. And the tempests howl in the air,
Though the billows dash in their madness by,
yet the NATIONAL is there.

It is analogous to that great and unalterable utterance, which comes to

The greeting to Ocean Grove, by Rev. C. H. Meade, which was called for
several times, commences thus:

" Ring out, ring out both loud and long,
A song for Ocean Grove!
No friends more kind, no friends more dear,
Than those who meet and greet us here
To each we bring a song of cheer
And one for Ocean Grove."
