call the attention of Posts and comrades to the
matter of recruiting.
Every living soldier and sailor who served in the
armies of the United States during the war of the
rebellion and was honorably discharged should bc
enrolled in the Grand Army. Every one who has
neglected this plain duty should be made to under
stand that his own record is liable to question
long he negects to enroll himself in the ranks of
his old comrades; by no other course can he do as
much good receive much good in return.
With every comrade enrolled we make the duties
of the Posts much lighter on the individual menu
bers as well as increase our power and influence
that will be felt in thousand ways in all well reg
ulated communities Each and every comrade
should take personal interest in seeing that every
worthy old soldier is enrolled.
While new Posts will be welcomed and given
every assistance in their organization, the Com
mander of this Department regards the recruiting
of the present Posts and the putting them
permanent standing as a primary duty of every
comrade.
