heads and sorrowful hearts, bearing
floral offerings to decorate the graves OF
our honsred dead. As time rolls on and
we become further removed from the
scenes that embittered that fearful
struggle for nations life. we rel Dice
to find that q generous spirit of forgive
ness is displayed on every hand; that
our late enemies in battle have accepted
in good faith, as believe, the result Of
that great conflict, which has forever es.

white wings of peace are spread over the
entire length and breadth Of our land,
that prosperity. equality and consequent
happiness abounds throughout our
whole country, still the mute entreaties
that this day arise from out the many
voieele.s tombs remind us that in the
greater measure. we owe these blessed
results to the sacrifices made by those
dead heroes who have answered the last
roll.call on earth. Comrades, II 10 our
sqcred duty. as well as our rightful
pride, upon such occasions as this to
