New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-06-27

around in eager expectancy Of the cere-
nony, which was indeed most men,
orable one. National Grand Master,
lC. w Walther, Of Chicago, supervised
the occasion, and delivered the follow
ing able address:
And now am I prepared to perform
the most solemn dnties Of to-day feast,
the laying of the cornerstone Of the
Hermann's Monument, which is the
first ever erected in this country. I
take resource while engaged in dedicat-
| ing the stone for the monument, to the
hammer, and in letting it descend on
the rock am mindful of the motto of
our lodge:
Friendship, Love and Fidelity
1 With the first descension I think of
Friendship, one of the noblest virtues
of the human race. May it ever be ex-.
ercized in our ranks, may it ever lead
US and guide us on our path Of life.
With the second descension I am
mindful of the most noble sentiment of
the human heart, of the sentiment pres
| ent in each human breast, and where
Love is in the decline, let it be our en-
deayor through good and noble deeds
to reinstate it, for where pure and un-
selfish brotherly love has its abiding
/ place, there will we find good and noble
men.
I. With the third descension am mind
full of a characteristic, which ought to
dwell in every human breast, Fidelity.
4 Fidelity toward our friend, Fidelity to-
ward our wife, Fidelity toward our
country is necessary to instate happi-
ness and contentedness on our earth.
May it ever exist in our brotherly or
ganization, may it never abandon our
i midst, for we need Fidelity of our
brothers more than all to ensure the
prosperity of our lodge. And herewith
have dedicated the cornerstone with
the motto of our lodge. May the words
!; prove true and benefcent for the mon.
ument. May future years, when all OF
| us will have passed away. witness this
monument as the centre, about which
the Sons of Hermann hundred-thous-
and strong will gather, ever protector
for the glorious, happy freedom of this
country
