Comrades, Ladies' and Gentlemen: On this 10Th
anniversary OF our organization we are very glad
to welcome our visiting friends and we have much
cause for rejoicing. During the past year our Post
has largely increased its membership improved its
hall added to the attractivcness of its meetings and
every way gained in good standing. Our death list
has been short, and our charity work has been
small, because there have been but few among us
who have needed aid. We have been honor ed most
highly by having chosen from our Post the Com
mander-in- Chief and the Adiutant-G General. The
Grand Army generally during the past year has
grown very much rs our Post has, aud is now
strong and influential for good. During the
we helped TO make up the mighty military hosts of
the Government in its tremendous battling for lib
erty, union and the success of sclf-govcrnment
among men. Now part of its citizens with
only peaceful pursuits, objects and influences. But
distinguished among our fellow citizens by
the high honor-which they everywhere freely
recogni2e-of having been part of the soldier
saviors of the Republic. The Grand Army has now
no military purposes. Ii ii "A great, useful peace
organization. It's motives are not warlke, but none
the less patriotic. IL does not aspire 10 bear
or TO fight battles. but only to uphold by moral
influences and example the best qualities of Ameri-

fraternity, charity and loyalty. But should
never forget that of the Grand Army are imme-
diatc individual trustees of ana honor
of the great patriot forces of the Government dur
ing the war period-that we are representatives of
those whose benciiceHt achievements are not only
the radiant glory of American civilization but rich
blessings to all mankind. Hence we are individu-

humanity from lSGl to 1860? 1t should, therefore,
be our cndeavor to manifest in peace all the graCes

soldiers. Then, indeed, in the end will ours have
been perfect work.
