History verbally tuld is so rare that
much which pssses fer history scarcely
merits the name butsshould be classed as
mediocre fiction. This would be of little
corsJ q1ence were it not that younger
generations are taught to search among
It's pages for examples of devotion 10
principle and to find there models of self
sacrifice in cefanse Of what men deemed
the right. In all great struggles involv-
ing principle there must OF necessity be
dlne1erces, men who are equally honest
IN conviction, equally loyal. Stand face
10 fsce IN bitter contest, and ulti
aately one triumphs, while the
other is overwhelmed. The domi-
nation OF strength never created
principle hence 1t cannot destroy 1t, right
Is eternal, for its anchorage is where the
passing away Of earth Itself, yes the
Visible heavens may mel! and with 1t
there can be no symptom OF instability.
He Who sits as judge Of mems actions,
VINO srrapges the lessons that history is
10 teach, must riss superior to passion
ana TO prejudice. The men who 90 down
IN the struggle have been alike ec!uated
oy resara for right sid Justly expect that
their children shall not be taught to re-
gsrd them other than they were, and th.t
a candid historian do Justice to the
motives that prompted their acts while
honorlbg those VINO were counted victors
The mighty conflict of the states is too
recent for cool ,dispassionste weighing of
ooth sides; few men can yet pass from
partisan to srbiter and yet z quarter Of

healing to enable someone tO write fair
