Excerpt from The Signs of the Times, to Which Is Added Faith: An Address Delivered Before Several Colleges Had a double object in select ing this theme and in prepar ing this address. My first desire was to encourage reformers and my second was to stimulate to activity those who have not heretofore been interested in reforms. But th word reform is not used in any\ narrow or restricted sense; it is not confined to political reforms. Re form is change for the better, and a reformer is one who is trying to improve conditions. When the word reformer is thus defined I can assume that all who honor me by their presence are reformers.
