not felt the effects Of the labors OF Horace Gree

he has given his life blood for the
good and to the purposes OF nobler manhood
fully for him. Think Of those conflicts in which
you forget humanity; out OF which you have
come. and summon your charity now you that
have been battling On the other side. After .
