Ionisiana branch1 held at the rooms Of the
Association Of the Army of Northern Virginia.
There being quite q number Of members pres
ent, the Rev. DIR. b. Nj. Palmer took the chair as
It's first president. The reverend doctor stated
that circumstances beyond his control had pre-
vented him from attending the preliminary
meetings Of the association. He thought that
perhaps come one might have been selected
whose professional duties placed him more
than himself In position where he would be
thrown In closer contact with those who had In
their possession historical data. but the office
had been given him. and he would. with the as
distance OF the members. use his efforts to for
ward the success Of such cause.
In eloquent terms the Doctor went on to say
that the term Lost Cause" was one that he
never heard Without a mental protest History
has many illustrations where people. over
powered rs were the Romans. by d superior
civilization, at last conquered their enemies.
For some fifteen minutes bead after bead
