MARYLAND.
| w. A. Rutherford, Division Commander, in
| Order z, says: Already the comrades out in
| Ohio have awakened to the importance OF our
| Order. and 90 so far as to recommend that We
be admitted to the meetings of the Grand Army.
| This is undoubtedly the school in which we
should be trained for the work that lies before
| us. But, brothers, we should not, and do not,
| ask or expect to be accepted into full mem ber-
ship with all the rights and privileges of a CON-
| rade An honorary membership, with probably
some more appropriate distinction, where we
could view the grand and stupendons structure
| and learn wisdom from the builders thereof.
IS, believe, all that is now desired by both
veteran and son.
