which he himself must pass Let MS rise to
the moral grandeur OF duty and responsibility,
achieve victory ove7 our prcjudiecs. over
memories OF the past--our resentments,
and spirit of retaliation-rise to the dignity
and honor OF our station, and TO the exalted
standard OF pure aud generous patriotism, for
getting ourselves and all our conflicts and diff
