/ the invaluable services Of the Society;
on the thousands Of sick and wounded,
needy and helpless soldiers it has cared
for and saved from neglected death for
glorious services in the army or q happy
return home; on the health it has infused
into enfeebled ranks. and preserved sy
timely help Of food and clothing on It's
universal ministry Of good, in camp and
battle, march and hospital The coantry
knows all this By heart These benefits

them. VIII not the people OF Indiana

reputation they have made as soldiers il
so high and endearing. They have given
OF their blood lavishly, and they cannot
hesitate to be as lavish Of their goods
