(Applause)
II is happy and joyous task for me
to say to these distinguished guests and to
have left behind them. that we welcome
here to the soil of Georgia the silent
memento of the past which. wherever il
goes. thrills with patriotism the heart of
every American citizen who .beholds il.
Dearer to the heart OF the patriot than its
weight in gold. silent though it be. while
it is as voiceless as the brave men whom
it called to battle in 1776. it is useful to
America and useful to the world because
it is useful to the cause of liberty. We
would not part with IL for ali the wealth
of the ROthschilds or for all the gold Of the
Iadias, and wherever it may go the hearts
of the American people viii follow il with
love and soIcitude 1t was first TO call
the American people to raise their arms,
to assert their independence, and To-Day
it remains with them as the emblem of
American liberty. Other people and other
nations may have their crown jewels, but
there in that old cracked bell you find
the only crown jewel of independent
America. What triumphaI march it has
had. Had you needed assurance of the
devotion Of the people of the south to this
relic. you have had it. No people ever
honored a king q general in his tri-
umphal march on his return home as the
people of America all along the line from
Philadelphia here have this silent old
patriot. My cOuntTymen. let it remain
under the protection of the heart, the 10y
atty and the love of the American people,
forever 10 remind us of the courage. the
heroism and the patriotism of our fathers
and TO inspire national spirit in the heart
of every American child horn and Vet to-
