OArrArx STEWART: While cannot but feel
proud of the compliment with which my sis
tiers of ST. Brides, the con.ribu tors to this
beautiful banner, have honored Inc by selec ting
me TO present 1t to you, Iassure you and your
gallant band that am also proud to see such
a goodly company interested in the scene
One possessing youth and rosy loneliness
might perform this chivalric duty with more
grace and wit, but only mother can fsei the
fuil force OF what that duty implies.
While We are enjoying this SYLVAN scene, the
green boughs waving above us, the song bird
caroliing notes of peace, and the very skies
smiling upon the richly laden fields, our hear t.
are raised in gratitude to the Supreme Being
who thus biesses us. Where there Is no peace
there can be no prosperity. With peace and
love, all our religious, literary and scientific,
our agricultural and mechanical, our foreign
and domestic iustitu tons, flourish and grow
like the pleasant scene around us: but our
hearts turn with grief TO the remem brance OF
the devas tatiOn of war. War. in which
only demons delight; and we burn with indig
nation At the remem brance OF that despOtIC
power whose double tongued treachery, base
falsehoods, unfulhlled promises and peryer-
sions of the Constitution Of the United S ties

us into this terrible imbrogiio. May the God
Of battles reward him accordingly.
