We are called to lay one more costly Offering
on the altar Of our country. In this presence

mains now lie before US. He has written the
record Of his indomitable energy, his invincible

into freer, higher nobler life, it Is the will o
God that the sacrament Of blood should be re

Our heroes do not fall In vain. There ar
solemn and instructive lessons which come 4
